Wild about Harry- Potter that is!

[jinx]

Austin would be a bit far for me to move right now, though not a bad idea.  I'm told I loved Texas when I was two.  ...Of course, the sun and I don't get along so well, and I have a feeling there's a lot of people I love that I'd miss quite a lot!  xD  (I am, however, invading TRF in 2010!)

My best friend and I have been working on a Renaissance-era Hogwarts idea, though.  ^.^  Uniforms and all.  Always fun to combine your two favourite things, isn't it?

I really hope they focus more on the Voldemort back-story than the other stuff in the HBP movie.  ^.^  Those were my favourite bits in the book!  Can't wait to see Slughorn, either.  =D

[LadyShadow]

I would love to see what you come up with.  That sounds wonderful.  Why didnt I think of that....

[Queen Bonnie]

 Huzzah Jinx! I look forward to your Hogwarts garb! I wear a headmasters badge that Dumbledore gave me. The lads and lasses enjoy that! I have lots of fun! Huzzah to 2010!TRF is great!

7th book release:


Those were our initial "Renaissance Ravenclaw" "uniforms."  I like her bodice a lot better for the idea, but it's now being converted into upper-class garb.  I'm still in the sketching phase of -actual- uniforms for the time period.  ^.^  The bodice I was wearing is actually quite a bit too big for me now, so I'll definitely be working on something new.

A BIG Huzzah for 2010!  I have a very dear friend that lives in Texas, and she'll be celebrating her 21st birthday at TRF, and it'd be -awesome- if I could get some RFers to help her celebrate! 

[Queen Bonnie]

 What a lovely picture! Wonderous garb!!! Of course we will help you both celebrate!!! Just remind me beforehand! My memory is not what it used to be!- But I think the rest of me is OK! LOL!

[LadyShadow]

Such wonderful uni's.  And please send a reminder when TRF 2010 comes around.

HBP opening moved up two days!:

'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince' Release Pushed Up Two DaysSixth installment of J.K. Rowling's series will now open July 15.
By Eric Ditzian

Did you think you couldn't possibly wait another three months for the newest "Harry Potter" film to hit theaters? Well, you're in luck! Kinda. Warner Bros. has announced that the sixth movie in the J.K. Rowling series will be released a whole two days earlier than planned.

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is now set to open on Wednesday, July 15, giving moviegoers a jump on the weekend and virtually assuring the film a staggering five-day box-office gross.

"Every day the kids are out of school in summer is just like an extra Saturday," Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellman told The Associated Press.

The previous film in the franchise, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," opened on a Wednesday in July 2007 and garnered $62.5 million over its first two days. The five-day box-office tally stood at $139.5 million.

This is the second change on the calendar for "Half-Blood Prince," which was originally slated for a fall release until the studio shifted the film to a summer opening.

The dates for the final two films — the two-part "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" — are firmly in place. At least for now. Part one is set to come out on Friday, November 19, 2010, with the conclusion opening Friday, July 15, 2011, exactly two years after "Half-Blood Prince." That is, if Warner Bros. doesn't start shifting things around again. As we've seen, big-screen plans for the boy wizard could change at any moment.

Check out everything we've got on "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

How bout a couple of months early?

[Taffy Saltwater]

I'd have been thrilled w/the original release date back in November, but I'll take what I can get.

[LadyShadow]

I agree.  I was upset when they changed it.

[jinx]

Thanks to everyone for compliments on the garb.  ^.^  I can't wait to work on something more "uniform" for it, though.  And something that will more easily transcend House colours.  I actually have an existing bodice that, once I get it cut down to fit me again, might work well for my 2nd House of choice...Slytherin.  And she has one that would work for Gryffindor.  xD  I suppose all we're really missing thus far is Hufflepuff, but I've skirts for that!  And here I am babbling about Renaissance Hogwarts again!  LOL

I'll certainly post when I plan on making my trek to TRF!  ^.^  I can't wait, actually, as I've heard so many wonderful things about that particular faire!

Well, it's nice to expect the movie a -little- earlier, but smack in the middle of the work-week?!  I suppose I'll have to resign myself to yet another evening showing, rather than getting to a midnight release!

[Taffy Saltwater]

Jinx, since you've got the uni going on & I did Snape garb for the HBP opening, we should see who would be interested in doing a TRF HP invasion.  Are you reading this, QB?

[jinx]

Oooh!  Now -that- sounds like a plan in the making!  In fact, the friend whose birthday I want to help celebrate?  She's a HUGE Harry Potter fan herself!  =D

[Queen Bonnie]

 Var is coming up to Austin for the movie opening and she is doing  Tonks!  I am of course headmistress of Frogwarts- the sister school of Hogwarts. A Harry Potter TRF invasion would be- magical!
Huzzah!

[Taffy Saltwater]

Since TRF has no designated Day of Wrong, I was planning to trot out the Potions Master on one of the All Hallow's Weekend day.  What say you all?
