Need urgent help from Harry Potter Fans

monster · 10-28-2009, 04:03 PM

Hebe (11yo daughter) wants to dress as prof trelawney for Halloween, but as described in the book, not as from the movie. Only we can't find our copy of the book. Does anyone have a copy to hand and could give us a quick overview, please? She appears and is described in the Prisoner of Azkaban

monster · 10-28-2009, 04:24 PM

ok nm, found the book, thanks.

Sundae · 10-28-2009, 04:31 PM

I'd love to help, probably being the biggest HP novel fan here (go on - test me, test me!) but a search reveals my third copy of Philosophers is also absent. My bro almost definitely has it if you can wait til tomorrow? (21.25 here, can have it within 12 hours)

I have Chamber onwards if that helps, but I assume you want Azkaban PLUS. I'll skim Azkaban tonight & give you my gleanings tomorrow morning.

All I remember is tall and thin. Iron grey hair. As far as I remember a long purple robe, but I may be confusing her with the housekeeper in Dianne Wynne Jones' Charmed Life (read it if you ent already)

Anyway, whatever I can do re the books I will. For once! I can be of service!
And if anyone gets in first.... I'll be so grateful. Ktch. Sorry, fly in my throat.

Bollocks.
I mean I am so pleased for you.

Now you have to post photos or I'll set Myrtle on you.
And bloody good show for Hebe on being set on the book look.
Someone she doesn't know and is unlikely to meet acroos the Atlantic is proud of her.
And me.

I should have left 10 minutes before but as I was checking to make sure no rain cancellations for soccer practice I saw your posts and wanted to appreciate them, but REALLY FUCKING HAD TO LEAVE THE HOUSE 10 minutes ago......

We found some awesome Trelawney glasses in a second-hand store on the way home from soccer

In my hurry to respond I actually confused Trelawney with McGonagall.
Terrible. I'll never get my NEWTs this way.

Do make sure you take plenty of pics.
