  "I always fill my room at school with art, photos, and little items I collect.

Welcome to the Harry Potter theme dinner held at DHall on Thursday, Nov. 16.

The Blue side played host to Ravenclaw (obviously) and Slytherin, while the Red side became Hufflepuff and Gryffindor (also, obivous). We couldn't geek out enough to this amazing theme dinner, and only wish we felt less like a Weasley when we wanted to buy more Honeydukes sweets... READ MORE
