You sure about that? That's what we said about the last one... and, well, it did not finish by Halloween.

Harry's Gryffindor class had like 10 students in it. All five boys in his class - including himself - were housed in his dormitory room. So probably 40 per class - times 7 grade levels.

Now Rowling at one point mentioned about 1,000 students attend Hogwarts - but reading the books again the numbers don't match up and it's not like "Oh there are hundreds of characters there she hasn't mentioned" - the entire sorting ceremony for Harry's year took like two pages and covered all 35-40 kids.

So, I need some opinions. Tomorrow, for my school, is meme day. Where we dress up as memes. Should I go as Filthy Frank with a clock yelling "It's time to stop," or should I go as Anakin Skywalker saying plenty of different things such as but not limited to: "I hate you" "I hate sand" "I killed them all" and "How can you be on the council but not be a master?"

Also, a follow-up. If I go as Filthy Frank should I go out during my school's walk-out, be a dick, and yell "it's time to stop!"?

Old man bought 10-100mbps 4G cellular broadband, which is fine during the day, but in the evening infra apparently can't handle the traffic and this house doesn't get even the promised minimum. Slightly infuriating.

Yeah, I've been rereading them - currently halfway through Prisoner of Azkaban - and hating the movies slightly more and more for their inaccuracies.
