"This boy will be famous. There won't be a child in our world who doesn't know his name."

(thanks to Sean Patrick for creating this awesome flyer!)

Our first event for 2009 is THIS FRIDAY (Jan 2nd) when we begin our Harry Potter movie series! We are starting from the very beginning with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, #1, and we will work our way through to #5 over the next few months, as we get ready for the release of #6 on July 17th, 2009!!! The parish hall will become our movie theater with a huge screen on the wall and surround sound. Get ready to be amazed. We'll begin at 6 and be done at 9pm (the movie is 2.5 hours long!). This is not just an opportunity to watch a movie but a chance to celebrate Harry Potter with HP-inspired costume, food, and games. Come in costume if you wish! We won't be providing dinner this time, so please eat dinner beforehand, but any snacks or drinks you can bring are welcome. If any of you want to provide Harry Potter inspired food/drink, please let me know! I will be making pumpkin muffins to share (they are really good!). Some other ideas are: root beer in bottles (a la butterbeer), acid pops, or licorice wands (this webpage has some great ideas you can use: http://www.yumsugar.com/383049). This event is open to middle and high school students or any lovers of Harry Potter. Please feel free to bring your friends with you who don't normally attend St. Thomas! If you can't attend this one, don't worry, because we will be watching the other movies over the next several months.
