** influence.  I have to say that Harry Potter has influenced 
** my holiday 
** only in that I asked for the trivia game for Christmas (which I wont 
** get because it is impossible to find -- my boyfriend told me he went 
** to Toys Backwards R Us, which is advertising it, and it wasnt there, 
** and while he was asking the clerk if they would get it in 2 other 
** people came up to ask for it).

We went all over the place looking for the Quidditch card game on Friday
with no luck.  I haven't even seen the Trivia game.  I do have the SS board
game and it's pretty lame, really.  My husband and I played, but I see room
to write my own rules to go with the great board.

** Anybody doing HP parties, decorations, wrapping paper, 
** cards,...anything interesting and obsessive?

I made my mom a birthday card and drew a great owl on the front to send it
Owl Post.  And my friend gave me a little ceramic owl pendant which I made
into a HP-themed necklace (purple, blue and black glass beads, a few
different designs of silver moon and stars beads with the owl in the middle
- quite nice if I do say so myself...).  And my husband and I have been
obsessively hitting the stores for new merchandise, but no real
holiday-related things.

I think my favorite merchandise item is the WB pint glasses with the
Hogwarts crest on them.  Very cool.
