This Week's Question

If you were to dress up as

a literary figure

(author or character)

for Halloween, who would it be ?

(Submitted  by Michelle @

My Answer

A question pretty similar to this one was submitted by Billy, the host of the Book Blogger Hop, in October of 2016.  The wording was a bit different, though -- the idea was to dress up as a classic literary character. Here's the exact question: "You've been invited to a costume party, and the theme is classic literature characters. Who would you go as?" 

I answered that question on the date it was posted: October 28, 2016. To see which classic literary character I picked, you can access my answer HERE.

So, this year, I'm answering this new question with another literary character -- one that is fairly new to readers, but has already become a BELOVED classic! Who is it? Well, none other than Hermione Granger, from the Harry Potter series!

As a matter of fact, since this year, Halloween falls on a Wednesday, I'm planning to dress up as Hermione for a party I'm having with my students at school! Yes, we're organizing a little party in the classroom. Unfortunately, the school doesn't allow students or teachers to wear costumes to school.... BUT! I have a devious little plan, hee, hee!! I am wearing PART of my costume to school, while the rest of it will be in a shopping bag I'm bringing with me. I will be wearing my black jeans and boots, plus a white blouse. Then, when I get to my classroom at 7:00 PM, I'll put on the classic Gryffindor vest, the tie, and the robe! And, of course, I'll bring my magic wand with me! When the party is over, I will take off all the articles of clothing I put on in the classroom. Thus, when I go back to the main office to sign out for the night, I will look as normal as can be! Lol.

***UPDATE, 10/20/18***

I forgot to mention why my school doesn't allow either the teachers or the students to wear costumes when Halloween falls on a school night. So, I'm adding this little update.

This is for security reasons. The admnistration doesn't want anyone showing up in a mask, because the security guys wouldn't know if it was a student or not. Anyone could come to the school in a mask just to cause trouble, and the school administration doesn't want that. It's a HUGE bummer, though.....
