Yesterday was AWESOME...never would I have imagined that there would be so many potterheads in Mumbai itself. Goodness gracious that was a sight to remember!!! Must have been about 500 or so. Some had even taken so much effort as to dress up like a character...I saw 2 Luna's, 2 Bellatrix's, 1 Harry, 1 Tonks, 1 Pair of the Patil Twins and 1 Rita Skeeter. There was also a lady probably in her early 40's who dressed up according to me like Molly Weasley, but she had a big camera around her neck, so I couldn't really decide who she was. Anyway, back to the events...First, we got sorted into different houses on the basis of a mobile app quiz. I got Gryffindor but unfortunately they ran out off badges and asked me if I wouldn't mind choosing any other. So I took Ravenclaw. They had various merchandise on sale but by the time I reached almost everything was over...so they'd starting taking orders. I bought a Gryffindor Seeker T-shirt and placed an order for one which said 'I solemnly swear that I'm upto no good'.
But the best part comes now...that's the quiz...the part I was most excited about. I think around 150 or more people participated. We were asked to get ourselves into teams of 3. I had a friend with me, and then luckily she spotted another friend of hers...so we had our Trio! It was a multi-section quiz and the first round had the OWLS (FIB, True or False, Who said to Whom, MCQs and a Crossword). We had so much fun solving it. I wish I could go into details of the questions but then I'll never stop. They said they'd announce the results at 3 pm...so then we went up to the terrace where they were playing Wizrdopoly and again selling some cool merchandise (Shoes, Tattoos - Dark Mark and Scar, Lockets, Jelly Beans, etc.) There were also cupcakes designed as Harry, Ron, Dumbledore and one with the snitch on it. I ate Ron obviously...so yummm *hehe*.
Then we went out for lunch and on return went and sat at the movie screening. OotP was going on at that time. And the joy of watching an HP movie with fellow potterheads is a totally out of the world experience. The amount of cheers that went up when Kingsley says 'You may not like it minister, but you can't deny...Dumbledore's got style' is something I will never forget.
(Contd. in next post)...
