harry potter day

[alora]

I think today was Harry Potter day at my house.  

First, after being disappointed by the staff at Borders Books and 
not getting the plackard thingie hanging from the ceiling, Wal-Mart 
surprised me and came through!  My kids were looking at the latest 
CoS toys and I was just staring blankly at the display when I 
noticed it was just cardboard posters.  I grabbed the nearest 
associate and asked what they did with them when they were finished 
with the display.  "Uh, we throw them away."  Nooooooo.   I got to 
talk to the manager of the toy section and she GAVE me three of 
these plackards with Harry, Ron, and Hermione on them! It 
says, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"  and you can see the 
Gryffindor crest on the wall behind them (looks like a Hogwart's 
stone wall) and the entrance to the Gryffindor common room!  
Yoweeee!  So, for those of you that stalk stores asking for 
displays, Wal-Mart seems fairly generous.  I'm going back after the 
holidays and I hope I get the rest of it.  She said they will throw 
those away, too!  I can't have that! :D

I get home and what do I find?  My Slytherin and Hufflepuff banners! 
=:O  And my magnets of Harry and Draco from ebay!  Wow!  I love days 
like today.

Everyone go visit Wal-Mart!
