Happy Halloween!

That's me!

Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood Hermione Granger! 

This was actually taken at a Halloween party from over the weekend, but OF COURSE I went as one of my favorite literary characters. And I'm pleased to have been informed by more than a couple of people that it's hardly a costume since I'm basically a real-life Hermione. 

Although my costume isn't scary, you know what is???

She didn't listen to the jerks and neither should you. If you haven't read this week's post, it's got some good tips for putting the stupefy spell on them.
