A pair of Luna's radish earrings for my favorite people

Luna's Harry Potter

Not that Luna! Unfortunately our beloved Dean and Britta didn't make radish earrings popular... but (for those who aren't in the know) Harry Potter did though!

Happy Harry Potter Day 2009!
And although I'm not one of those that is wishing she was in line with a golden ticket right now, all of my favorite people do have the Harry Potter buggis mambranous (is that how he would say it?)... so I'm transitive-property uber-excited for them.

Are you headed to the movies today? Tell us all about it!
