accio 15 minutes of fame!

w00t! Our Harry Potter program made the local newspaper! They didn't post the pictures online but you can read the article (for the time being) right here. (Though the article was clearly edited by a Muggle - several misspellings of Potterverse things.)

Still, very cool! My co-worker managed to save one of the images from the paper and post it on her personal blog here!

heiland_coo is going to hook me up with a CD of all the pictures she and her husband took during the program, so I might have a few more to share this week.

I bought the Gentle Giant Bust-Up of the Riddle Grave scene from GoF while I was in Boston. It's pretty cool, though Voldemort's aim is a little off. I've got it sitting on top of my HP books now. Probably post pictures later of all the other goodies I snagged while up north.

OMGs, you are not kidding on the bad spellings! Hasn't the reporter ever heard of an editor!? No, wait, this is the Capital, who am I kidding. Did they at least get your quote right?

Seriously, has no one at the Capital read the Harry Potters? I refuse to believe that!

The quote is close enough. I know I talked to her, but I'm sure whatever I said wasn't as complete a sentence as she has me credited as. I'm a bit disappointed she didn't mention Amy! She was a big part of it. But in all the chaos, she might not have remembered to write down her name.
