With Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows quickly approaching, I'm making myself and this MySpace Group into a resource for upcoming events in the surrounding area and questions regarding the next few months.

In other news, we will sort everyone into houses for big events (movie premieres and book parties) and making sure we can help anyone who wants to dress up to dress up. Also, many of these events will have prizes, giveaways, contests, and other cool stuff.
