Look! Harry Potter People!

We did it!  MR, Graff, Christina, Will and I kissed a going-to-bed Marc good-bye and left for Fayette Mall at 10 pm for our 12:30 am showing of Harry Potter and the DH2 stopping at Orange Leaf as Frojos closes at 10 pm (too bad that didn't stay open late for HP) and then heading to the theater.  I was going to get coffee-flavored frozen yogurt but opted for Butter Pecan topped with various chocolate candy bar bits instead hoping that that plus my 9:30 pm iced coffee would provide the caffeinated jolt I needed to last until 3 am.  As we entered Orange Leaf there weren't too many costumed folks there, but I heard someone exclaim as Bellatrix and Hermione and the Muggle Boys emerged from my car,  "Look!  Harry Potter People!".  And indeed, Mary Rollins and Christina were some of the very best Potter people I saw all night.

Hermione is carrying her own copy of The Tales of Beadle the Bard and is accompanied by her house elf, Cleo,
who magically appears in many photos

Up close the Gryffindor badge was pretty cool.

Christina as Bellatrix.  She really was the best Bellatrix I saw. 

The Death Eater's mark up close -- drawn in eyeliner by Christina's mom -- she's got skills!

There's that pesky house elf again (I wish it would do some actual work around the house).

Hermione and Mrs. Granger

Mrs. Granger and her fellow Muggles.  They acted like they were embarrassed by the girls
but I don't really think so...

She might be scarier than the real Bellatrix.

Emma Watson Junior with the real Emma Watson.

This left me speechless with joy and taking a picture in a bathroom stall -- a definite first.
