Spin Cycle, Spooky Cycle: It's a Hermione Halloween

I've been short on time lately, too short to even comment on my reader, but hopefully things should pick up.

And of course, I had to Spin for Halloween.

The Kindergarten block in Sprite's school held a Storybook Character Parade last Friday and when I asked Sprite what character she wanted to be, her immediate response was "Hermione Granger!"

I sent a note to her teacher since I didn't know if they were limiting the characters to easy readers like Humpty Dumpty and Cinderella, but she gladly gave the go ahead and wouldn't you know it, Sprite was the only Hermione in the entire parade.

The night before, we washed and braided multiple sections of her hair to repeat the frizzy waves her character wore so proudly in "The Sorcerer's Stone".

The other kids asked repeatedly who she was while the teachers and students lining the halls to watch the younger set march past and take notes on the ones they recognized, called out her secret identity as she walked with her wand and book in hand, practicing her "swish and flick".

Careful, or she'll cast a spell on YOU.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

That was creative and probably easier to put together than some characters would have been and refreshingly not a princess.
She's adorable as ever.

Ah, but she's already cast a spell on me. :)

I love the care she put into having the right hair for Hermione in Sorcerer's Stone vs. later Hermione hair. Sorry I'm so slow getting you linked, I had THREE auditions and had to get Jude into his costume as his principal, the nun.

You're linked!

She makes one adorable Hermione! Love it!

[Jenny]

Love her costume!

I knew I liked Sprite but this seals it! I dressed up as Hermione just a few short years ago for work! Happy Halloween to you and her! (a day late but that's ok!)

What a great costume! You've reminded me that I need to introduce my girls to Hermione. I love those strong girl characters!

[Janice]

That is one serious stare!

She makes the perfect Hermione! And I love that you had to do her hair 'just right' - was that at her insistence or yours? Princess Nagger would have been the insisting one. Like when they do their Book Character dress up day in March and she'll dress up as Katniss Everdeen - she wanted me to dye her hair brown...but I'm nervous about even the temporary dyes, so I bought a wig to braid instead. :)
