"OOTP" Cardigans, Costumes and the Heat

A year ago, when Deathly Hallows made its historical debut into the world, my twin brother and I thought it would be fun to actually go all out and dress for the occasion.

We are faithful into the houses we had been sorted into -- he's a Gryffindor and I'm a Ravenclaw.

So we decided to come to Hobbie's House of Wizard Wear where we had bought our house scarves a couple years prior. We ordered our house cardigans and waited anxiously for them to arrive in the mail.

We received them in time to dress up for the book's midnight release, and let me tell you...it was HOT. July in Arizona is not the time or place to be wearing cardigans, but we are die hard fans. It was worth it!

We both even came in first place for the costume competition!

Thanks to Hobbie's for his OOTP maroon/old gold cardigan and my OOTP dark blue/bronze cardigan, we had a memorable year!

We are thrilled to be dressing up again for the Half-Blood Prince movie release...and even more so because the weather will be more agreeable with our wardrobe!

Thanks again!!!
