So my brother and I arrived at the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book release party dressed up. I was dressed up as Tonks -- pictures later. And he as none other than Harry Potter himself -- I forced him.

When we got inside, they were BLARING the harry potter theme song from the movies. They, being, a band of six year olds. Well, fine, they were, like, ten. My brother thought they even qualified as thirteen. I don't really think so. The funny thing is, some of them you couldn't tell if they were girls or boys.

There were about 150 people jammed into a little independant book store. It was hot and crowded and lots of fun!

Well, they started off with some Harry Potter trivia from a girl who probably didn't know what she was doing, seeing as she could barely read the questions. It was funny though.

She asked some super-easy, no-prize trivia and I got called on for one question.

One of the questions she asked was "Who is somebody who's innocent in Azkaban, right now?"
To which a little girl answered "Sirius Black!"
The trivia-person scoffed at her and said "Sirius Black is dead!"
Then, another person called out "He's not dead!"
And I called out "Amen to that!"
And we all started laughing.

Then, about 200 more people piled in as it drew closer to midnight.

A little girl (2-4) found me and commented on my blue hair. She said "Who are you dressed up as?"
And I said, "Tonks"
And she said "Oh, I thought you were Snake because of your hair."
And I said "Do you mean Snape?"
And she said "No I mean Snake, S-N-A-K!"
Then , she skipped off.
It was so funny!

10 seconds to midnight everyone did a countoff and the result was the loudest noise I have heard in my life.

Pictures are to come!!!

Yours obsessively,
Ali
