Sounds good to me, and yummier than Baker's Square.

I probably won't do it, lacking the nerve, but I will
wear regalia, e.g. Hogwarts t-shirt & pin.  And I will
be thrilled if others exhibit more nerve than I do.

With fear and trembling I'm letting you all know that
that very morning, I will be giving a sermon about HP
(not the one that's in the HPfGU files).  I say fear
and trembling because what if you all show up at my
church wearing robes and clutching broomsticks?  Not
to mention that it is scary to talk HP to people who
know the books inside-out, and that I'm nervous about
a collision of my professional and obsessional worlds.
 But you are, of course, welcome to come, or I
wouldn't be telling you about it here.

One way or another, the sermon will be about love
(V-Day, you know).  I think it'll be a spin off the
one substantial post I've made re: OoP, about love
being the ultimate Mystery in the Dept. of Mysteries.
