Top Sekrit!

I know what I want to do for my next big costume set: I'm getting a group together to do The Marauders! Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs. Not sure if it'll be for laffs or not... but a biker gang of those animals with leather "Marauders" jackets would be so cool! Or maybe in Hogwarts uniforms in mid-change. I'm jazzed!

That would indeed be most cool :>

Yay! The Marauders! And yeah, I should've put a spoiler warning on the post (but I thought I was the last person in the world who hadn't read the whole series yet!). So... don't read the spoiler if you haven't read the third book yet... Though I still won't detail what happens, just what animals they'd consist of.

D'oh! The "LJ cut" thingie doesn't work in comments! So I've at least put a big gap before the spoilers. So...if you hate any hint at all of what's in the third book, STOP READING NOW!!! (for all the good that does... I feel bad)

POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW!

















The Marauders are a rat, stag, wolf and a black dog. I'm figuring that I already have the bodies for the stag and the black dog-- they'd just need new heads. Though I'm thinking of doing the black dog as a more Newfie-styled big body/head.

I've been wanting to do a rat for years. I'd played around with doing either Justin or Jenner 'ala' Bluth, but just never got that final spark of inspiration to get started.

Ironically, for someone with more wolf-type costumes laying around than almost anyone I know, I'd actually do a new costume for that character. More like the illustration in the books.

Now I just have to wait to hear back from the others: gotta see if they're planning on hitting the (sf/fantasy) cons I want to do this set at. Likely it'll be either CostumeCon, Norwescon or SDCC (or possibly the next Harry Potter Symposium, if they actually ever un-bunch their panties and have a real masquerade!).

I vote for SDCC, since I'm going to be there this year! :)

You are?

So who's doing the CyberRays game that weekend?
It's also AnthroCon and Mascot Games weekend.
Tho if I don't get a job by then, I'll be working the game.

Very cool! I would love to see your interpretations of these characters. Who else is working with you or is that not to be revealed yet?

You, too, eh? :> I know Jimmy and I have both considered Justin.
