The midnight party thing was fun. I ran into a bunch of people I knew, so we had wacky times while waiting in line. A bunch of people kept coming up to me to tell me they liked my costume. These people fell largely into two camps: those who thought I was McGonagall and those who thought I was Bellatrix. Hah. BELLATRIX LESTRANGE. As if! Really I was just going as a generic witch (cobbled together from old Halloween costumes that generally had nothing to do with witches), but whatever. People kept taking pictures of me and filming me. I felt kind of awkward about the whole thing, really. :-/

Due to an extraordinarily busy weekend that was followed by an extraordinarily busy Monday, I have yet to finish DH. I will post actual thoughts later but I do have something to say now. I believe it can best be expressed by the phrase "need more edit!" This, quite coincidentally, I'm sure, has been one of the first clear thoughts I've had upon reading every HP book since GoF. Oh, JKR.
