Default Halloween

With All Saint's Day just around the corner there are so many Halloween related sites out there you just can't get away from them.
It is not always a bad thing.
Here are a couple with patterns.
http://www.pumpkinlady.com/pattern.htm
This one even has Christian Patterns.
http://pumpkinglow.com/Patterns.htm

Many patterns are quite basic but many really would look good scrolled.
Do your own search for Pumpkin Patterns and see what you come up with

Every Hallowe'en I take down the 'normal' house name sign and replace it with something more appropriate to the occasion. I tried to attach the picture to the message but there seems to be a gremlin in the works, so here it is:



'Trick or Treat' is in its infancy on this side of the pond - by putting up a sign like this I'm saying that I'm prepared to join in the festivities.

The font I used for that sign is one that I've found to be very useful, especially at this time of year. It's called Harry P (True Type) and you should be able to find it easily enough with a decent search engine. However, it's also available from muggles... errr... muggins here if you pm me your email address.

Ah Ha, another Harry Potter Fan. And they say those books are just for kids. I wonder who is going to get killed in the final book????

Publication of the final book has to be imminent. Shortly after the latest security scare at the airports, JK Rowling caused a ruckus when she tried to fly to America with the finished manuscript to have it adapted for American publication. Airport officials told her she couldn't take it as hand luggage; it would have to go in the hold with all the luggage that was likely to be stolen or delivered to Rio or Delhi. Not surprisingly, she refused to comply with their orders.

I can't wait for the final book. When the last one was published, I found myself queuing up at the store for it at midnight on the day of its release .

Na,

She won't kill Harry, too much money involved.

Professor Snipe, on the other hand...

And maybe one of the twins could have a joke backfire, they are earning too much with the shop LOL, or maybe Hagrid gets eaten by one of his "little" friends?

I will not stay up till midnight to get a copy, but I'll be wanting one from then till I get it to complete my collection

(And no they are not in French, American English (Sorry Gill))

Regards,
Marcel
Edit: Sorry Bob, I believe Dumbledore is dead and living in the portraits

My understanding is that this is her final book and she doesn't wish anyone else to pick up the series. My guess is Harry as one of them. This would prevent anyone else from continuing the series. I'll wait for the movie. LOL.

I've enjoyed reading the books, seeing the movies and if you haven't had a chance to listen to the audio tapes I would highly recommend it..the man who reads the parts is amazing!!

JK Rowling's writing style is truly amazing,
The actual events in the whole series are things we can all relate to. The crushes in highschool, the nemesis, the bully, the mean teacher, we have all experienced these things. The classic battle of good and evil links the whole series together. Thats why the books are such a hit in my mind.

I find it most unfortunate that some people will not read them due to certain beliefs. Fantasy is fantasy her writing style is marvelous. I liked the books so much I was even inspired to try writing
