ATTN HARRY POTTER FEN!! QUESTIONS!

[lykomancer]

Ok! So!

I volunteered to make a spellbook for part of our Midnight Magic Party Friday night-- the party proceeding the actual release and sale of the final HP book, of course.

Now, my questions are as follows:

1) What spells would appeal to people? (Keeping in a PG-ish range, since this is technically a kids' book release, though I do need some to appeal to the older fans, too.) I am open to suggestions!

2) What types of spells are there in HP verse? Chants and incantations, of course, and wand flicks. Potions, but I think most of those would be out of our range for the evening. Mostly, what componant type thingies would be best in these spells?

Might be helpful. Accio, Expecto Patronum, Stupefy, Wingardium Leviosa, Alohomora, Finite Incantatem, Lumos, Point Me and Protego are ones that most people would recognize, though the others on the list are ones obsessive compulsive fans would also get.

Yeah, but I don't/can't use Harry Potter spells-- if for no other reason than the copyright issues. I basically need to invent spells for people coming up and asking the "Spells-on-Demand" witch. :D

So in other words, if you were at a magic-themed party and saw a "Spells-on-Demand" booth-- as corny and silly as it is-- what spells would you demand?

Copyright issues? Seriously?

That's so random. My local "giant bookstore" uses references to all the standard HP spells, serves Butterbeer, has a potions lesson, designates sections of the store as house common rooms, ect. ect.

C-can they get in trouble for that? O__O

I honestly don't know; I guess it depends on a lot of stuff...
...but I DO know that Barnes and Noble can't call their pre-release party a "Harry Potter party" due to legal issues, so we call it a "Midnight Magic party".
