Fictional Character Day, coming up on Thursday, February 5th as part of spirit week, is the perfect time to unleash your inner book nerd! How many times have you fantasized longingly of stepping into the shoes of Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, Sherlock Holmes, Tris, or a myriad of other amazing literary characters? Well, now you can finally break out that deerstalker, polish off your wand, or pretend to be caught up in an epic love triangle without everyone questioning your sanity!
Need inspiration? Read It Forward has compiled a Top 10 Literary Halloween Costumes list that is perfect for this occasion (with the exception of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho...no weapons in school, thank you very much). In fact, if someone goes for #8 and dresses as a giant wire-and-mesh ham a la Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, I'm pretty sure my life's work will be complete!
Did I mention there will be prizes? If your fictional character is also a literary character, stop by the Media Center and enter to win the Best Literary Character Costume Contest! Our esteemed English Department plus Ms. Doutsas (the perks of being an almost-librarian - boundless!) will judge contestants based on accuracy and creativity to crown the ultimate literary doppelganger and two runners up, who will win Barnes & Noble gift cards! So...start planning those costumes!
