The Hogwarts Christmas Play

[dfrankiswork at netscape.net]

Dear HPFGU members,

I am delighted to be able to announce that after a lapse of many years - older readers will recall the unfortunate incident of Lucius Malfoy, Arthur Weasley, and the self-undressing mannequin - the famously trusting Albus Dumbledore has decided to revive the old tradition of the Hogwarts School Christmas Play.

At present the play is in rehearsals, and I have managed find out the title and to obtain some of the castings.

The play is a dramatisation of The Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkien.

The following parts have been cast, it seems.

Frodo Baggins, a hobbit who has more about him than at first appears, is to be played by Harry Potter.  Rubeus Hagrid is cast as Samwise Gamgee, a simple but loyal gardener.  Finally of the main parts, Gandalf, who is a wizard of testy disposition and has somewhat unkempt hair, is to be played by Severus Snape.

In addition I understand that the award-winning reporter Rita Skeeter has been cast in the leading female role (Shelob) and I can reveal that, exclusively for HPFGU, she has agreed to pass on any snippets of rehearsals or behind-the-scenes gossip that she picks up.

I hope you are as excited as I am about this event, unprecedented as it is in a generation.

Yours in anticipation
