Consumers seeking the most patriotic way to spend the Fourth of July holiday used to have two choices: Hit the grill, or hit the fireworks show. Now, there's a third option: Hit the stores - for bargains and freebies.
In a tough economy, a widening circle of familiar brands, from Boston Market to Payless Shoes to Sherwin-Williams, are offering steep discounts - or even freebies - built around the July Fourth holiday. Some marketers are targeting veterans and military. Others are reaching out to lure in the die-hard value-seekers. But almost all are pushing enticing deals to drive business on a day when millions of Americans have traditionally made plans to gather outdoors and party, not stay indoors and shop.
"Consumers have shown that no day of the year is out-of-bounds for shopping if the right incentive is offered," says Steven Addis, a brand consultant.
But brand guru Peter Madden warns that July Fourth shoppers are single-focused: "It's about how cheaply can I get something."
Bang-up promos for the Fourth:
â?¢ Free eats. Active duty military - and vets - with proof of service, get free meals (up to $15 value) on July 4 at 170 participating Iron Skillet and Country Pride home-style restaurants, whose core customers are truck drivers. Last year's promo served more than 15,000 servicemen and women, says John Ponczoch, senior vice president of food service operations at Travel Centers of America.
â?¢ Cheap eats. Boston Market offers four different Family Meal options - meals that feed three to six people - at 50% off on July 4, with a coupon. When it ran the promotion last July 4, sales zoomed 34% vs. July 4 the previous year, says Sara Bittorf, chief brand officer.
â?¢ Cheap drinks. Jamba Juice has a buy-one-get-one-free smoothie promo through July 7 that requires a coupon from Jamba.com, says chief brand officer Julie Washington.
â?¢ Paint deals. Through July 8, Sherwin-Williams paint stores are offering 30% off most paint and stains - with some locations open July 4.
â?¢ Shoe bargains. Payless ShoeSource has an offer to buy one pair, get the second pair 50% off - with coupon.
â?¢ Free advice. Some 25 grill masters who work in LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants, will provide grilling tips to the grilling-challenged, July 3-6, during peak grilling hours (2 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST) to folks phoning 1-855-LH-GRILL. Or, post a question on LongHorn's Facebook page and grill masters will answer in real time.
â?¢ Free furniture. Some folks in Rhode Island and Massachusetts who bought furniture this past spring at the Cardi's Furniture chain will be hoping for heat wave on July 4. When they purchased the furniture, the chain had a "98 degrees and it's free" promo that promised if the local temp hit 98 on the July Fourth holiday, the purchase is free.
As usual, the house wins. July Fourth forecast for the area: high 80s.

Garcia hopes to deliver latest gem against Rockies
Colorado looks to break out against red-hot Cardinals pitchers
After his fellow starters kept the Rockies' bats nearly silent for the first two games of the weekend series at Busch Stadium, it's Jaime Garcia's turn on the hill to try and keep that momentum going.
The Rockies will counter with left-hander Jorge De La Rosa in the series finale as the Rockies try to snap their longest losing streak of the season at four games.
The Cardinals claimed their third consecutive victory Saturday as Adam Wainwright picked up where Shelby Miller left off Friday night, taking a no-hit bid into the eighth inning before settling for a two-hitter. In the process, the Cardinals tied a Major League record for most consecutive batters retired by one team against another club with 40, matching the Rangers vs. the Tigers in 1996, according to Elias.
What might have gotten lost in the shuffle of those two dominating pitching performances is that the Rockies have also pitched well this weekend, with Saturday's 3-0 loss marking the fifth straight game and seventh of their last nine in which they allowed three runs or fewer.
De La Rosa is coming off an impressive six innings against the Yankees in his last start. He allowed just three hits while registering his third scoreless start.
"Jorge gave up three singles -- that's a big-time performance," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It's nice to see one of our starters go out there and pitch like he did."
Apparently, Weiss and the Rockies will need another performance of that caliber to keep up with the Cardinals.
In his last outing against the Brewers at Miller Park, Garcia allowed one run on eight hits and a walk while striking out three batters.
"It was a really good one against a tough lineup, a tough team, a tough place to pitch at," he said. "I was able to keep the ball down and take us deep in the game."
Rockies: Wilin, meet Jorge
For the first time this season, De La Rosa will be looking at Wilin Rosario's signs behind home plate. In his previous outings, the Rockies had paired veteran Yorvit Torrealba with De La Rosa, but it's Rosario's turn.
The second-year catcher has been struggling of late, going 3-for-28 (.107) since May 1. Weiss is confident that he'll pull out of the slump and contribute on both sides of the game.
"He's going to be a guy that hits for power, hits for average and be an offensive force in this league for a long time," Weiss said. "He brings a lot of positive energy every day. He's got a great attitude, a great mentality for this game.
Cardinals: Adams back in action
In his first start since returning from the disabled list, Matt Adams went 1-for-4 with an RBI single, showing that his continued exercises and a rehabilitation stint in the Minors appear to be doing the trick to get him healthy after a right oblique strain.
Adams, who had 11 hits in his first 19 at-bats this season, went 3-for-12 with two RBIs in a three-game rehab stint with the Cardinals' Double-A affiliate in Springfield, Mo.
"He was in a nice spot when he got hurt," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "He was swinging the bat well. It's a challenge for him, but I want to get him back in there as much as I can."
Worth noting
• Following Sunday's game, the Cardinals will continue their nine-game homestand by welcoming the Mets to town for a four-game set starting Monday, while the Rockies will travel to Chicago for a three-game set starting Monday against the Cubs. The Cardinals and Rockies won't meet again until Sept. 16-19 in Denver.

Michael, could you elaborate on how/why you get to visit Chernobyl? How "hot" is the area; will you need to wear protective gear, etc.?
interesting read:
it's an area mostly untouched by humans for 24 years. should be interesting
Wow, this is random. My first thought was, "Wait, WHAT?". My second thought was the same... My third thought was that I live A LOT closer, yet I have never had any desire to visit that ghastly place.
It's a serious question. AFAIK you can go into most areas of the exclusion zone for brief periods without protective gear but you probably want to have someone in the group monitoring radiation levels.
If you want to poke around near the reactor I imagine you would want some serious protective gear for even a short visit, but the abandoned cities are probably safer, as long as you don't stay there for long.
Food and water are probably a concern as well. I imagine everything needs to be trucked in...
"Didn't you work in a nuclear plant before?
- Yeah, in Chernobyl."
The photos are interesting, but the story behind them is a hoax:

Codeweavers didn't write the file type association code, I did.

Also instructing your Windows application not the generate associations works too.
I for one love the fact that some Windows file types which Linux doesn't easily open itself (eg. HLP, CHM) open just fine when you have Wine installed.
If you have constructive suggestions about how the integration could be done better, or real problems that could be fixed, I am waiting to hear them.

Twins, O's meet up in opener at Camden Yards
O's Davis comes in as one of league's top hitters with three homers
Nobody in Tampa Bay had much luck stopping Orioles first baseman Chris Davis. Can the Twins slow him down when Baltimore heads back home?
Davis will enter Friday's series opener against Minnesota coming off on an incredible series at the plate against the Rays. He went 7-for-11 with six extra-base hits, 11 RBIs and a homer in each of the three games -- the first Orioles player to homer in the first three games of the season since Frank Robinson in 1966. It came as the Orioles won two out of three at Tropicana Field.
Right-hander Jake Arrieta will start Baltimore's home opener for the third straight year, while Twins right-hander Liam Hendriks will get the first crack at the red-hot Davis and the rest of Baltimore's lineup on Friday afternoon at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
"I feel comfortable in the box. We've had a few runners on when I'm up at the plate, which is always fun 'cause if you get a hit, those guys are going to score," Davis said Thursday. "When you feel good at the plate, when things are going right for you, you're going to get those hits. I'm just trying to keep it rolling.
"It's awesome, but at the same time, it's about winning baseball games. I've just been trying to keep it simple, do my job. We have a lot of guys in this lineup that can do a lot of things with the bat, and we've proven that over the last three days."
Davis became the first player since at least 1916 to drive in three or more runs in his first three games of the year. The last player to record 11 RBIs through three games was Philadelphia's Dolph Camilli, who recorded 12 over three games in 1935, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Davis was crushing everything the Rays threw his way this week.
To stop him, Hendriks will have to keep up what his fellow rotation mates started in their series victory over the Tigers. Minnesota made it a point of emphasis this offseason to improve its starting pitching, and Vance Worley, Kevin Correia and Mike Pelfrey delievered with a combined 2.45 ERA over 18 1/3 innings, though they combined for only six strikeouts.
Hendriks hasn't experienced much success at the Major League level despite his impressive Minor League numbers, as he posted a 5.59 ERA in 16 starts with the Twins last year. he has only one Major League victory.
And his first test of 2013 won't be an easy one. The Orioles swept the Twins to open last season and went on to win 93 games, stunning the American League and reaching the postseason.
"We take credit for them getting off to a good start. We gave them confidence," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said laughing. "We saw them a bunch in Spring Training, and they have a good baseball team. But you never know what will happen out of Spring Training. They got off on a good run and had good vibes going. They played with a lot of enthusiasm, and what has to happen is a few players have to have to big years and young players have to step up -- and that happened.
"They have that under their belt, and they're confident. We saw that again in Spring Training. They're a confident group, and they can do some things. So it'll be entertaining going in there and playing them. They're a good baseball team."
Twins: Willingham leads homer charge again
• Josh Willingham hit the Twins' first home run of the season for the second straight year on Thursday. He opened 2012 with a home run on April 6 at Baltimore. Thursday's longball was the 23rd of his career in 77 games at Target Field, putting him second behind Jim Thome, who hit 24.
• Justin Morneau has reached base seven times in 13 plate appearances this season, posting a .538 on-base percentage through three games.
• The Twins haven't won a road opener since beating the White Sox on April 10, 2009 at U.S. Cellular Field. They opened last year in Baltimore and lost, 4-2.
Orioles: Festivities planned for home opener
• The Orioles will open their home park at noon Friday to give fans plenty of time to arrive and enjoy the events leading up to the club's 2013 debut at home. Fans will receive a schedule/car magnet at the gate, see roving musical groups at Eutaw Street and the main concourses and watch "The BUCKle Up Birds: An Underdog Story" on the center field video board beginning around 1:10 p.m.
Pregame ceremonies will start at 2:30 p.m., hosted by MASN's Jim Hunter. Orioles players and coaches will be introduced before the game, with the players running through the center field gate on an orange carpet and lining up on the field. One fan will be chosen as the club's "10th man" for the 20th straight season, and he or she will be introduced as part of the Orioles' starting lineup.
J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters will be presented with their 2012 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards before Friday's game as well.
• Second baseman Brian Roberts left Thursday's game in the top of the ninth with a right hamstring injury and will undergo an MRI on Friday. Roberts said he "felt something kind of pop in the back of my knee," but didn't know exactly what happened.
Worth noting
• Only three players in Major League history have homered in four straight games to start the season: San Francisco's Willie Mays in 1971, St. Louis' Mark McGwire in 1998 and Texas' Nelson Cruz in 2011. Davis has a chance to join that elite group Friday.
• Twins center fielder Aaron Hicks recorded his first career hit and RBI on Thursday, driving in two runs on an eighth-inning single to right field off reliever Brayan Villareal.

The KTM Enduro Factory Team picked up a string of podiums at Round 7 & 8 of the World Championship at Heinola in Finland for an overall solid result and good championship points, but it was also a tough weekend for Antoine Meo where a crash on Saturday resulted in hospitalization.
Red Bull athlete Antoine Meo started the weekend riding with an injured thumb that required painkillers then in the third Enduro test in Saturday's Round 7. On his KTM 350 EXC-F he crashed into a tree and was taken to hospital with broken ribs and a fractured hand. Doctors opted to keep him hospitalized overnight. Unable to pick up points this weekend in the competitive E2 class, Meo drops from class leader down to third place after Round 8.
Team boss Fabio Farioli again visited Meo in hospital after Sunday's round, saying the rider, who is in intensive care was in a stable condition. He confirmed that all being well be would be moved into a normal ward after another 24 hours. "Antoine has broken ribs, four fractures to the right hand and bruising on his back. But he is recuperating. His main problem is that he cannot race", he said. He confirmed that Meo would return to France where a hand specialist would carry out the surgery.
Riding at home and with good crowd support, it was Finland's Eero Remes who was the major challenger for points leader Christophe Nambotin. The French rider had a series of crashes in the final test on Saturday that cost him to top step to the home favorite. But by Sunday's Round 8 Nambotin had the measure of Remes and with six test wins, wrapped up his weekend with a 2-1 result. E1 factory teammate Cristobal Guerrero was in solid form to finish with two times third place podiums for the team. Nambotin, the current E3 World Champion leaves Finland with a commanding lead of 36-points in E1. Guerrero is second with 118 but Remes has closed to within a point of the Spaniard. Both KTM riders compete on the KTM 250 EXC-F.
With the team's sole rider in E2 out of commission, the weekend's action focused on three E2 riders. Pela Renet of France picked up two wins and now leads the championship by 28 points, Johnny Aubert scored a 3-2 and is in second place with 118 points and Alex Salvini picked up a 2-3 result. Antoine Meo is third in the points with 114 and Salvini is fourth with 98.
It was a very positive weekend for the factory team's two riders in the big bike E3 category with Australian rookie Matthew Phillips picking up wins on both days and Red Bull athlete Ivan Cervantes scoring two second place podiums to retain the points lead by a margin of 12. Cervantes solid result was impressive given that he had leg surgery after Round 6 in Greece, and according to team boss Farioli was riding in a lot of pain. Phillips and Cervantes compete on the KTM 300 EXC.
Farioli: "Today we had some very good fights between Phillips and Cervantes but Phillips was faster. Also Nambotin was much faster today than on Saturday and was a good match for Remes on home ground. At the end of the day both Phillips and Nambotin backed off in their respective classes and controlled the race."

SEATTLE (AP) - A bankruptcy judge has approved the sale of beleaguered coffee company Tully's to a group led by Patrick Dempsey.
The actor dubbed "McDreamy" in the "Grey's Anatomy" hospital TV drama had claimed victory last week after an auction.
But a company that teamed up with Starbucks Corp. to bid for the Tully's chain filed an objection Wednesday. AgriNurture Inc. said it was still willing to proceed with its combined bid with Starbucks of about $10.6 million.
The bid from Dempsey's company, Global Baristas LLC, was for $9.2 million.
At a hearing Friday afternoon, Judge Karen Overstreet said the auction was fair.
Tully's has 47 shops in Washington and California with more than 500 employees. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October.

If given the opportunity would Bradley Cooper hook up with Lindsay Lohan?
I thought he already had.
Isn't he on the list? At this point a guy has to be pretty desperate to want her and her beat up bruised body and sagging tits and cigarette breath.
Deep Thoughts….. By Enty.
Wife beater, mother lover, closet homosexual – I'm quite sure he'd add junkie hook up to that list without a second thought. If only so that Enty could write a few more blinds about him.
I think he would. He seems to want to do anything-man, woman, animal, vegetable, etc.
Bisexual doesn't mean desperate. I'm sure even he has certain standards.
Well she prob wld do anyone, but he is too narsassistic. It may harm his rep to boldly go where everyone has gone before. Yeah, he'd turn her down and then tweet about it. Ass balloon.
It'd harm his penis too.
no he would have to have sex with her
What an odd question, lol. Who turned in this question, I wonder?
This is one for the ages Enty…must consult the seers,mystics,shamans and clairvoyants I have in my inner circle and get back to you……
They said no freaking way.
Totally, completely, OT: Tara Reid doing AMA today on Reddit at 3:30
I think I just threw-up a little in my mouth.
Maybe in her prime.
Probably already has.
Thank you fill in the blank equation! I've got a Scrubs question for her.
Maybe if she grew a dick.
I think he already has.
Him and half the world done hit that.
Two of enty most hated celebs. That such a random question but yes, he seem to bang anything with a pulse,
Only if he had spare coke and a penchant for punching chicks in the ribs while ejaculating in their colons.
No. Michael Lohan can't wipe his own ass let alone perform a hair transplant procedure, so there's nothing in it for BPoop
@Triciss@Rose L@ Lady HCount!
Good ones. Lolz!!
What I was thinking about Enty posing this question is… He heard some tea and he's questioning the likelihood of it, therefore he's turned to the masters of assessing celebrity behaviors.
Would he? Only if he thought no one would find out. So No, not now.
That depends, is Lindsay Lohan a man, baby?
Judging from the size of her bruises in photos lately, he already has.
No. If Leo and Franco wouldn't go there, Bradley wouldn't either.
Geez, with all those cool questions people were offering up the other day, wtf kind of dumbass question is this?
Bradley bats for the other team, so highly unlikely.
He did the Ho bag. That's what turned him

These comments are cracking me up!!!
No. Mr. Cooper is a pussy gourmand. Lohan would be like going from Kobe steak to a McDonald's cheeseburger.
Lilo grosses me out but am i the only one wondering what the fuss is about? I mean, people actually pay to ride her..
Bad analogy Ramon. Even if yer eating fillet mignon every night, sometimes a greazy and sleazy burger is a nice guilty treat.

The Antidote to Common Poisons (or Antidote for Common Poisons) is a potion which counteracts ordinary poisons, such as creature bites and stings.[1] Its ingredients include Bezoars, Standard Ingredient, ground unicorn horn and mistletoe berries. The recipe for this potion can be found in Magical Drafts and Potions.[2]
[show]Brewing instructions
- Add 1 Bezoar to the mortar
- Crush into a very fine powder using the pestle
- Add 4 measures of the crushed Bezoar to your cauldron
- Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to your cauldron
- Heat to a medium temperature for 5 seconds
- Wave your wand
- Leave to brew and return in 40 minutes with Pewter Cauldron, 34 minutes with Brass cauldron and 30 minutes with copper cauldron.
- Add 1 pinch of Unicorn Horns to your cauldron
- Stir 2 times, clockwise
- Add 2 Mistletoe Berries to your cauldron
- Stir 2 times, anti-clockwise
- Wave the wand to complete the potion
The Half-Blood Prince used a slightly different potion formula, that included Honeywater, mint sprigs, stewed Mandrake, and essence of Lavender.[3]
Behind the scenes
- In the PS2 version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this antidote was created by mixing together Moondew, Puffapod Spores and Flobberworm Mucus. In the GBC version, the potion was brewed by mixing Aconite and Boomslang skin together.

1 Question from the Community
The Grohe 19 220 trim will only run the shower head or hand shower individually, not together. You will need to choose an option with at least 4 ports to run both at once.
Can this valve supply water to both showers at the same time?

Gangliosidosis (GM2) type 1, also known as Tay-Sachs disease, is a rare inherited disorder that causes progressive destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Tay-Sachs is caused by the absence of a vital enzyme called hexosaminidase-A (Hex-A). Without Hex-A, a fatty substance, or lipid, called GM2 ganglioside accumulates abnormally in cells, especially in the nerve cells of the brain. This ongoing accumulation causes progressive damage to the cells.[1]

Totally in for one! I have never owned a Harry Potter shirt before, but since this one represents all four houses in an adorable way, I HAD to. :0) Sadly I did lose interest in the movies, but at one time, I was a huge fan of the wonderful books. Great design! :D
I don't get the shirt....probably because my brain is very happily Potter-free.
I always thought the house symbol for Hufflepuff was a fat kid.
I recently bought Epic Battle and my awesome sister-in-law just bought this shirt for me!! Can't wait to wear it!
I would have bought this right away if it weren't the Olive green shirt color. I didnt realize at first it was related to Harry Potter, but I thought I'd buy because of cute animals.
Do I spy a whiff of Dark Arts magic coming from the Slytherin's wand? This scene may become considerably less cute in about 10 seconds. :^) (Congrats stardamsel!)
Did somebody play a prank by turning Gryffindor's eyes to wood? I suspect Slytherin, that mischievous look isn't trustworthy.
Jellyn wrote:Cute. And if that had been an eagle, I think I would've bought it.
Ditto. Ravenclaw's mascot is an eagle, like Gryffindor's mascot is a lion. It's not that hard to look up. Ah, well.
OniNoMaggie wrote:*sigh* I am geeky enough that I feel the need to point out that the House symbol-animal for Ravenclaw is, oddly enough, an Eagle, not a Raven. I'm sorry.
I'm calling you out on your geekiness. Ravens have black legs/feet, so it can't be a raven! But I agree - it really doesn't look like an eagle either. Update: crap, I guess stardamsel already pointed that out.
When I first saw this shirt, my mind jumped to the Kung Fu Panda gang as kids.
pathoughton wrote:that chick should join the army cause she has some cannons....heyoooo
They are indeed some big'guns.
tyrrlin wrote:Ditto. Ravenclaw's mascot is an eagle, like Gryffindor's mascot is a lion. It's not that hard to look up. Ah, well.
But it IS an eagle! Sigh...
novastarj wrote:But it IS an eagle! Sigh...
Agreed. Ravens are normally drawn with way bigger beaks.
Stardamsel, this is absolutely adorable. I never scrambled to buy a woot t-shirt so fast in my life. XD <3
This is so cute! Also, I don't really understand how people are having difficulty with this. Ravens have black beaks and feet. Clearly this is not a raven. For people being critical so quickly, they don't have their facts straight.
LittleFoxx wrote:I love this shirt, even though I have never read the books(no time) I really liked the movies. This will be my first "shirt"woot ever. Plenty of woots in the last 3 yrs but first shirt yay! Anyways I just wanted to know how the womens sized shirts fit? Are they like "baby T" style or just like an everyday t-shirt? This would kinda make a difference in what size I want to order.
The womens are closer to the "tiny" fit at old navy! Hope that helps! ;0)
as much as I love this shirt, could I get away with wearing it as a guy?
roshinobi wrote:The other three are focused on the mug, but Hufflepuff doesn't care.
So true... Hufflepuff Badger don't give a crap. (woot won't let me say bad words)
I love the idea of this shirt. I'm just not a fan of the art on this one. It looks... just not as great as I'd want it to be.
Buying! I never thought the Ravenclaw in this design was a raven. He looks just like the little chicken hawk in those told Foghorn Leghorn cartoons. :P And hawk is clearly closer to eagle than raven!
aprilraines wrote:Glad to see the scarf colours match the book, *not* the movie.
This shirt reminds me of the shame of realizing that I would immediately be sorted into the Hufflepuff house if Harry Potter was real. I'm just not brave enough, evil enough, or intellectual pursuing enough to be in the other houses. Ugh, I'm such a Hufflepuff nerf herder.
One for my wife and one for my Mom, just as it was with Epic Battle - I saw all the movies with my wife, but otherwise I don't do Hairy Pothead.
Yippee! Oh how I love you Harry Potter and all my fellow fans! I can't wait to wear you to work at the bookstore and see how many folks comment on your wonderfulness! :D
xeverytime wrote:When I first saw this shirt, my mind jumped to the Kung Fu Panda gang as kids.
You're not the only one!
The following is a very in-depth Sorting Hat quiz. Sorting Hat Quiz It's pretty accurate (I mean in terms of what characteristics belong to which houses). I'm basically right between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw

And what about as a teenage guy? Does that make it more or less acceptable?
headfone wrote:And what about as a teenage guy? Does that make it more or less acceptable?
I wouldn't wear it because I'm not as much of a Potterite as my wife, but I wear cutesy Woot Shirts all the time. As a male teen - I teach 9th grade - you might be in for some verbal abuse, but who cares?! Where do you live? I teach in SoCal and I'm pretty sure most of the nerdy guys on my campus could get away with it with minimal verbal abuse - usually from folks who will go on to live inconsequential lives of quiet desperation. Buy it if you like it and wear it with Potterite pride
Okay - who can tell me how I can order both M and S. I ordered 2 size M and wanted to add one size S. Can't even add a second order! It says "you have already ordered this!"
Timara wrote:Okay - who can tell me how I can order both M and S. I ordered 2 size M and wanted to add one size S. Can't even add a second order! It says "you have already ordered this!"
You can order up to 3 the first day on your first order - now you'll have to wait and get the other one for 15$ after midnight Central tonight.

Never mind
such a great shirt...totally awesome spin on some of the boring t-shirts i've see for HP!!!
Don't think so. I've made that mistake at least once - gotta get your ducks in a row before you do the order on the day the shirt first appears.
I am probably THE latest person to the party, but - it has beer. Enuff said. [stop you HP geeks, I know what it is but for me it's BEER, OKAY!?!?] Beer. Yes.

What's the drinking age at Hogwarts?
At first glance, I thought these were characters from Disney's Robin Hood back in the day..but, then I noticed the wands and the familiar colors and realized it was a Harry Potter reference.
I am buying this for my 17 year old daughter who loves HP and Star Kid. She will be excited.
Yay got my shirt ^^ Thanks for letting me know, I'm glad they are a baby-t style =D Do the kids sizes run on the smaller side too? I got my son one, he's 5 so I ordered a k6? At least if it's too big he can grow into it ^.~" Sorry for all the questions, might be easier if I just measure lol
