Description:

The July 2012 Fandom in a Bag swap is the Harry Potter fandom. This is in honor of Harry's, Neville's, and J.K. Rowling's birthdays at the end of July.

Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite Harry Potter house, characters, book, movie, or any other preference you may have.

Step 2: After partners are assigned, check to see what your partner likes. You can follow-up with a message if you need to know more. Then scrounge up, buy, and/or create items that fit in a bag. Your bag must contain at least 7 different items although more is certainly encouraged.

Some ideas of themed items: stickers, ATCs, postcards, toys/action figures, comics, note cards, pins/buttons, magnets, jewelry, trading cards, charms, ornaments, bookmarks, address labels, plushies/stuffies, promo stills/autograph cards, etc.

More specific ideas: Hogwarts acceptance letter, OWL quiz and quill pen, Weasley Wizard Wheezes order form, Marauder's Map, chocolate frog cards, fanfiction drabbles/ficlets, WRock CDs (no mix CDs, as per swap-bot's policy), customized course schedule, wizard candy, tea, recipes for magical treats, mini potions bottles, a diary like Tom Riddle's (but DO NOT include a piece of your/someone else's soul inside), copies of altered Hogwarts school books with your own notes (or notes from different characters) in the margins, Quibbler or Daily Prophit minizines, note/drawing folded into a paper crane, a collection of your favorite quotes.

Be sure to check your partner's profile so you don't send anything he or she might be allergic to.

Also please note that sending chocolate through the mail in the summer isn't always a great idea, as it may melt.

Step 3: Put the items in a ziplock-type bag. Size: 1 gallon. You can decorate the bag or incorporate the bag into something (mount it or sew something around it). If you want to make or buy a bag instead of using a ziplock plastic one, that's fine as well, but it should be at least a gallon in size. You could even make it look like Hermione's bag from the last book. All items you gather or create should fit into the bag and it should close.

Assemble your bags during the month of July and please send by the deadline (August 1).

NO FLAKING ALLOWED! All flakers will be sent straight to Azkaban. No passing go. No collecting 100 galleons.

I always sort Hufflepuff house. I love magical plants & animals. I love astronomy. And I would be terrible at potions.

My favorite characters are: Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, the trio, Neville Longbottom, the Weasleys (even Perce but especially the twins and Charlie), Oliver Wood, Cedric Diggory, Hagrid, Hedwig, James & Lily, Snape (ask if you want more. I could easily give you upon request a list of my top 100 favorite characters or pairings LOL)

I love anything HP-related with my username on it. So if you craft or make an acceptance letter or something, it would be awesome to see my full username there! I also listen to a lot of Wizard Rock, so if you happen to listen to it also, I'd love a playlist/list of your favorite songs (but not an actual mix CD, because it's against the rules and Hufflepuffs always play by the rules).

OH! And the Marauders in general. Anything even vaguely Maraduers Map-like or anything with a dog, wolf, stag, and rat on it I fangirl hard! I LOVE the Marauders. But especially Remus Lupin. He's my ultimate favorite.

I'm really not that picky..Harry Potter is a great series and I love it all, really. I do like Gryffindor best! I love the magical creatures, potions, candies and crazy magical jokes in the series! Quidditch and the snitch are pretty awesome too!

Favorite characters..the trio of course. The twins, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Professor McGonigle, Sirius Black, Bellatrix Lestrange, Nearly Headless Nick, Moaning Myrtle, Tonks, Dobby, Mad Eye Moody, & Luna Lovegood.

I'd love a crafted bookmark!

I'm not picky either :) I love everything about the world of Harry Potter, but here are some faves to help you out. My favorite houses are Ravenclaw & Gryffindor. My favorite characters are the trio, the twins, Sirius Black, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Moaning Myrtle, Dobby and Dumbledore. My fave book is OOTP and my fave movie is 7 part 1.

Here's mine!! Sorry for the delay. =)

I am not picky, I love all things Harry Potter, but here are a few specifics to get you going. =) My house: Ravenclaw! I would definitely have a pet rat and Herbology & Care of Magical Creatures would be my favorite classes. ;) My favorite book always has been the Prisoner of Azkaban. Sirius Black is my favorite marauder. I also love Mad-Eye Moody, Dumbledore, and Snape, of course. I could go on and list every character... I love them all. ;) I LOVE the last film (parts 1&2 together). I love magical beasts (THESTRALS & DRAGONS!!)
