Well, so far here's what I have:  My black college graduation gown, it's
close enough to a robe.  I'm cross stitching a Gryffindor crest for the
front.  I'll carry a stack of books, I think I'll stick Fantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages in there.  I've got a
wand--bought it at the party store today.  14 inches, made of--oh, sorry. :)
I still want to get a quill.  I was looking in the wedding section at the
party store, and my mom said we should just make one with a feather and pen.
She said she thinks she still has a peacock feather somewhere.  I nearly
fell out in the store, all I could think of was Lockhart's "autograph"
quill!!!  She was quite confused at my reaction until I explained. :)

What else do I need?  A scroll?  Parchment looking paper?

I know all my first graders know about Harry Potter, most of them had seen
the movie before they were even exposed to me and my obsessiveness. :)  The
younger ones I'm not too sure about, I'll have some explaining to do.  Which
is why I'm trying to come up with a song for them.  Here's my first attempt
(warning--do not laugh!  It is extremely stupid and made for very very low
level four year olds!):

To the tune of "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain"

I'm Hermione Granger, that's my name;
I'm Hermione Granger, that's my name;
I'm Hermione Granger, I'm Hermione Granger;
I'm Hermione Granger, that's my name.

Oh I study and read lots of great big books;
Oh I study and read lots of great big books;
Oh I study and I read, oh I study and I read;
Oh I study and read lots of great big books.

I have two good friends named Harry and Ron;
I have two good friends named Harry and Ron;
They can get in lots of trouble, but they're really such good fella's
I have two good friends named Harry and Ron.

Okay, that's pathetic.  I need HELP!!!!!!!!

Yes, yes!  I can do Hermione pretty well (i.e. Emma Watson!). Not nearly as
good as I can do Draco (Scared, Potter!?), but I am NOT dressing up as
Draco. :)  But I'll concentrate on Hermione and my accent will be
satisfactory.
