Yes, squid are involved.

Ten images below. Dial-up beware.

I was incredibly impressed by the costumes at this con. So many people, so much creativity! It was amazing.

Most people had more than one costume. Some had special versions for the Masquerade Ball, a costume event on Sunday evening.

First up is a trio of cosplayers who dressed mostly as the Black sisters. In this pic they're dressed as Beauxbatons students and Krum:



Yes, that's Hedwig in her squid costume.

Here they are as the Black sisters as little girls:



And here they are at the Masquerade Ball:



I can't convey how beautiful this set of outfits is. They were surrounded by people with cameras clamoring for their pic, and for good reason! Unfortunately, mine is blurry and pretty much sucks. Still, you can see the amazing work that went into their costumes.

One of my favorites...Lucius.



And my other favorite...Narcissa!



For the Masq, they dressed up as each other, because who else could be "fabulous" enough...as Narcissa put it.



They rock.

Azkaban!Lucius being pursued by a Dementor.

Two Snapes (among many, let me tell you). I was unable to get a pic of droxy as Snape, but I'm certain there are about a billion that will pop up.

And...Voldie! Who is wearing a Louis Vuitton Lord Voldemort bag. And red contacts. The red-eye reduction feature in Photoshop is rather confused about this set of pics.

Which area is that? If I'm nearby, I'm very interested. ;)

Southeastern US. I'm figuring that someplace in NC might be in the middle for a few of us. anise_anise suggested meeting in Myrtle Beach, so perhaps we'll look into beach house rentals?

I did make a comm for this but nothing has happened with it yet -- meetnslash. I'll send you an invite to join.
