| | The great big Harry Potter slumber party
Most Harry Potter fans have had at least one birthday or slumber party centered around their fictional hero. Well, Horace Mann School (recognize that name?) in New York City has gone further than that. Students who take part in the Literary Lunch Chat book club enjoy a slumber party in their school library twice a year. The members of the club watch the Harry Potter movies, suggest theories and debate various topics while going deep into every little detail. They even consider themselves as a bit of a Dumbledore’s Army and apply many more aspects of the books to real life, such as life lessons (undying love being one of the most important).
If you live in the US, you can see an MTV news video concerning the party here.
Personally, I wish my school librarian were this cool... Then again, an all-nighter on SnitchSeeker is nearly the same.
Thanks to griffin_girl for the tip! |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Maureen Carmel Garmes First | That was a really cute video!! I wish my librarian would let us do that...but she is so the Library Nazi--she terminates all who are not using the library for research. She's EVILE. |
