HORCRUXES AND HALLOWS FROM COMIC-CON

We had a great time at Comic-Con last weekend.  We didn't get in to a lot of the panels we wanted to see (in part because we missed all of Saturday, since it was the day Sabrina was coming back from camp).  But we spent some nice time with people we don't often get to just hang out with, and all in all, we really enjoyed ourselves.  I think we have a better idea of strategy for next year.

While we didn't get in to the Harry Potter panel, we did get to see the Horcruxes and Hallows that were on display.  Oh yeah.  Somehow that makes the upcoming movie seem more real.

Take a look.

The Horcruxes:

Rowena Ravenclaw's
Diadem


                     Marvolo Gaunt's
                     Ring (and the
                     Resurrection Stone

Tom Riddle's
Diary


                     Helga Hufflepuff's
                     Cup

Salazar Slytherin's
Locket


                                   

                                      And the Hallows:

The Invisibility Cloak (I chose this close-up
pic so you can see the green lining, which
is what allows it to become invisible
when shot in front of a green screen)


                             The Elder Wand
                             (not really what I
                               thought it would
                               look like)...

MY APOLOGIES

Oh my.  I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted anything here.  My deep apologies to anyone who is still checking in.  Some of it has been Facebook's fault:  When you post a status update or two every day, sometimes you feel as if you've already made your statement online.  Some of it is simply that I'm less interested in hearing myself talk.  Some of it is that I haven't felt like I had much to say recently.

But for better or worse, I will start posting again.  I've read books, I've taken pictures...  I'm sure I can find something to say....  Let's start with some pictures...
