We had an impromptu party tonight in honor of the HP's 33rd bday, and had Bertie Botts Every Flavoured Beans, Butterbeer, and took house modeling pictures with crazy wands/pieces of long things. We also took turns sharing things HP fandom has given the internet. Ta da forever:

We read the part of Drop Dead Gorgeous out loud where Malfoy has dinner at Katie Bell's house and fails at being Muggle-soluable.
At the end he tries to degnome their garden as a gesture of goodwill but really just breaks their lawn ornament.

My sister rambled a bit about a great fic where Neville & Draco are both losers. Neville, who is a loner growing pot in the greenhouse, realizes that Draco is a loner who spends Friday nights mixing potions.

The greatest HP RPG ever! (fanlore summary etc at link) I remember coming across Nocturn Alley and kind of jaw dropping. Each of the students had LJs, so it was crazy interactive and complex. Really great to peruse. Draco wrote an entry on Harry's journal at some point? Main memory of it.
