alt_cedricHello Hogwarts!
As a special treat for tomorrow’s feast in celebration of our Lord Protector’s birthday, we have produced magical masquerade masks. They have been glamoured to look like your house mascots. However, you may notice that a few are different. These have been specially glamoured as examples of what can be done with these wonderful novelties.
I would like to thank Pansy Parkinson, Lee Jordan, Fred & George Weasley and Harry Marvolo for all of their hard work and creativity in designing and testing the masks. We also had help from Tyche Jenkins, Draco Malfoy and Daphne Greengrass in the final push to finish them all this weekend. Professor Sinistra provided the workshop that we used over these last two weeks to design and create them.
Professor Vector has asked for voluntary donations to the Feast and Festivities Fund to defray the cost of materials which the school provided. There will be a suitably horrifically enchanted box at the Feast for these donations.
Now let us all have a spooky Halloween while we celebrate our glorious Lord Protector’s birthday.
If you wish to try your wand at changing the glamour on your mask, here is the formula to follow. First we do not recommend this for those under fifth year, unless you are experienced at making moving glamours. Hold the mask firmly arms length from you face, staring at the eyes and incant exturgen personen. While incanting start with your wand parallel to both the floor and the mask, bring the wand straight down as if wiping a blackboard and finish with a widdershins Elbert's flick.
Then cast your favourite glamour on the mask. We recommend one from the Stanislov or La Fey schools. However, we found the Italian school too temperamental. While maintaining the glamour, soak the mask in a fixative potion. Commercially available potions such as Forsby's Fixative and Eglantine Engelbert's Elixir of Elegance do the job. Pence's Permanent Portraiture and Lasting Landscapes might work for very special masks but are not recommended for general use. The entire line of Black Al's Artistic don't work due to specializing in certain artistic styles. We tinkered with our potion to make it work better on multiple masks.
