costume as a Slytherin. I will be fully in the spirit of things at
that moment. The last time, I felt left out after seeing how many
people came in costume and not

Professor Sprout, a McGonagall, a Dumbledore and a Draco. Maybe I will
go as either Narcissa Malfoy or Bellatrix Lestrange. I am currently
leaning towards Bellatrix, but I have some time to reflect on it.

This will be my first time getting the book when it comes out!  I just
found HP about a year ago (last Christmas I was listening to OotP
while my in-laws were here and couldn't wait for them to go to bed
because I was in the middle of the MoM scene!!).  I'll definitely be
going to the bookstore at midnight.  I'll probably just read until
sleeps overwhelms me and then wake to read some more!  I can't wait
and have much respect for those who have gone through the waiting
process before.  How in the world did you make it between GoF and OotP?!  
Merry Christmas to those of you celebrating!
