Thats so awsome Kelly, great work. I must have one of those Tonk magnets

[mcgonagall]

me tooo i love all your work

You could leave the Weird Sisters with a world tour in 2005.  If you look at the HP timeline on the Harry Potter Lexicon site, the Yule Ball was held on the evening of December 24, 1994.

Oh, I was thinking that it was close to real time.  But how could it be when there are 2 years or so between books! 

[Anna]

I love the full size mandrake Kelly, you did an excellent job, as usual.   The magnets are cool also, my favorite is of Tonks.

[ArwenEvenstar]

The look great Kelly. I especially love the Mandrake and the Tonks and Auror Magnets. 

[grecopa]

Thanks, everyone!  The mandrake will be up for auction later tonight with a cool Voldemort film cell card with a fire scene, and a few more odds and ends that aren't HP related.  I'll post a link later on the diagon alley thread.

Update:  Mandrake listed on ebay.  Some other stuff is listed in the Diagon Alley thread.

Update - I just got a couple of emails , including one from Growgirl (thanks!) saying that my photos of the mandrake on ebay aren't showing up.  Is anyone else having a problem seeing them?  They look ok from my end.   

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I see them... but if you were hosting them from photobucket, the site was down temporarily for a bit, so that may have been your problem.

[grecopa]

Nope, I use Sparedollar, but that was still probably what happened.  Thanks! 

[grecopa]

Here are photos of the Quidditch World Cup program.  The cover is see-through at cetain points in order to see the letters on the cover page.  I'm still working on some pages for the inside.  So far I have: Irish roster, Bulgarian roster, Veela page, Leprechaun page.  I'm working on two player spotlight pages.  One for Krum and one for the 2 female chasers on the Irish team.  I'll also have an itenerary page in the front.  Should I have anything else?

[Sharon]

How about an advert or two - maybe one for the binolculars or for the little models that fly around on their own (I think Ron had one).  You could maybe put a Ministry of Magic warning at the bottom of the page, like a public notice warning everyone not to do any magic in front of Muggles.  Just a thought 

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Oooo Very nice Kelly

[Anna]

That looks great Kelly.   I like Sharon's idea about adding some ads.  All the programs I've ever picked up all had ads in them.  And the Ministry of Magic warning is good too.

[Anna]

Hey Kelly, your life-size Mandrake auction is doing great and there's still almost 2 hours to go.

[grecopa]

Yipee on the mandrake!  I'm so excited!      And I agree that I need some ads.  I'll be working on that.  Thanks, guys!

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Great work again Kelly, on both. An expert prop replica maker

[LikORish-Spider]

Any help?

I seem to remember this being posted once before in a larger format. Was it on YAK SHACK? If so, does anyone remember where it was?

[Sharon]

I am sure it was on the Shack but I can't find it now.  I thought it was in either More than one Marauders Map or the thread where Mike was making his props but I can't find it now.  Sorry 

But Kelly you must be dead chuffed with the Mandrake    It was beautiful and the winner has got a perfect replica.  So what's next after the programme?  When the GOF film comes out I think I will be nagging you for either a mer person or a grindylow (can't remember if that is the correct spelling).
