Harry Potter book 7 party Barnes Noble July 20,2007

We were so excited to be there, we really enjoy the Harry potter series, and love to dress up so what could be a better occasion??? I had preordered my book from Barnes and Noble and Than ordered his on base! Anyway the books were released at midnight, but until then it was a fun hang out party. There were tons of give-aways/freebies like harry potter glasses and fake tattoos. It was a fun night. Than pinned a hogwarts griffindor patch on his sweater, and I was the character Nymphadora Tonks. Leighton whose costume was the best was Hedwig Harry Potter's white owl.
This was when we first got there and started to wonder if the feather's where such a good idea. I made his costume that afternoon and was very proud of it, but once we got there, we had to keep him from trying to eat it, silly first time parents! Anyway it was so worth it!
Tonks and Hedwig also known as mommy and Leighton.
This picture is amazing!!!! Sometimes are camera takes these journalist type quality photos outta nowhere?? It was purely Luck, but is one of my favorite photos of him so far! The blog really doesn't do it justice! Also it was so crazy barnes and noble full of people in costumes, and Close to 50 people posed to take pictures with Leighton throughout the nigh. Seriously, not exagerating, like 4-5 people would line up at a time! Ranging in age from small kids to grandparents, they all would say "I hope this isn't weird but can I have a picture with your baby, Hedwig??" We would just laugh and say sure, then the few other people hovering nearby that were to shy to ask would get in line behind them. He was a huge hit and definetly would have been a contender for the costume contest but we took a break for dinner, so we missed out :(
Than and Leighton at about 1 hour until book sales start! Leighton was being such a trooper!
