July 8th: Harry Potter IV
Afgncaap5 Started conversation Jul 8, 2000
Guess what? Last night at my local book store, there was a "Harry Potter Party" with lots of games, contests, refreshments, and (when the clock struck 12:01) they would pass out the first copies of Harry Potter in the city! Anyway, there was a costume contest, and I entered. For some reason, I was the only one who thought to dress as a Dementor.
Anyway, I won the contest, and guess what the prize was: the *FIRST COPY OF HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE IN THE CITY*!!! I've never one anything as impressive as *THAT* before!

WOW!! Congratulations are in order!!!
I saw a couple cute kids with purple lightning bolts on their foreheads, and I almost asked what they were for, but I was helping someone else at the time. Finding the Goblet of Fire book nestled safely and ready to be given a new home, I saw this mark on Harry's own forehead!!! And I put it all together!!! How SILLY I felt!!!
I thought I was pretty keen on what kids are into.. I guess I'm not afterall...
By the way!!! Hello!!! I'm Tabitha!!!

Just read this entry,Affi.
Nice one that man
Well done. A first edition too! Quick wrap it in cling film and deposit in a bank vault under maximum security for 50 years and then sell it for a fortune, one all the others have disintegrated into mulch in our world famous landfill sites!

Are you crazy? I'm patiently reading it slowly, and am half-way through this book, so sealing it shut now would probably keep me awake at nights! No way am I going to stop reading it now! But thanks for worrying about my future investments.
BTW, thanks for the congrats. I think the judges should've given first prize to one of the people dressed like Harry (there was a kid who looked *EXACTLY* like he does on the cover of the book. I know you hear people say that and not mean it, but the two could've been identical twins, for all I knew!).
BTW, how do I know that you're *REALLY* Tabitha, Dragonfly?

Ok Affi, I admit it might have been a bit hasty of me.
Finish it first, then wrap it in cling film (or whatever you call it over there)!

I don't know anything! You'll never get it out of me!
Okay, once I finish reading it, I'll seriously consider wrapping it in something...maybe I can find a lamenation machine.

Oooo!!! Don't trust a lamenation machine!!! Not with your baby!!! It might turn into a Lamentation Machine, you know!!!
That'd not be pretty...
