We all dressed up to go trick or treating last night. You don't realize how hilly our neighborhood is until you walk around to every house!We had a family theme based on Harry Potter. If you haven't read all the books, you might not recognize all of us.
Nicholas is, of course, Harry Potter. Don't you love his Quidditch robes?!?
Coming in for a landing on his broomstick.
Megan is Luna Lovegood. She shows up in the 5th movie, and is a pretty significant character in the later books.
Notice the radish earrings and the butterbeer cork necklace.
Luna with a one of our dogs, Kisses, dressed as a thestral. David says she is an American thestral, which is significantly smaller than her cousins, the European thestrals, featured in the 5th movie, Order of the Pheonix.
I am Professor Trelawney. I think Megan said she first appeared in the 3rd book and movie, Prisoner of Azkaban.
David will only be recognized by dyed-in-the-wool Potter fans. (A hint is that he is wearing black robes because his golden yellow ones didn't come in the mail until today. Good thing we still have a costume party to go to.) He is Xenophilius Lovegood (Luna's father), who is a very minor character in the last book. I'll post another picture of him in his yellow robes tomorrow.
Our other dogs' costumes will be featured in a followup post, along with some quite amusing photos of some of the guests at the costume party my family threw for my 40th and my brother, Brendan's 30th, birthdays.
Stay tuned! But meanwhile, a little challenge below:
Guess which pumpkin belongs to which person:
