Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Another GREAT summer movie release! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the movie that documents the 6th year at Hogwarts. Receiving an average of "GO!" on Fandango's "Oh-no" to "Must go!" scale and an 85% Rotten Tomatoes Rating, this movie is full of action, love, and scariness. As an avid Harry Potter book reader, there were a couple things that they left out, but to me that doesn't conclude a bad adaptation. A movie adaptation is based off of the writers' and director's opinions and ideas, and it cannot be EXACTLY like the book. The book gives more detail than the movie which is usually the case in these situations.

Movies across the country had Midnight Showings and Special Premieres. Fans dressed up as wizards, carried wands, painted lightning bolts, and had a great attitude towards the opening. The UA Bonita Lakes 9 Theatre in Meridian, MS, with the help of The Radio People, held a great party with fans lining up out the door! They turned to BuyCostumes.com and used our Harry Potter and DeathEater Costumes!

We want to encourage more customers to post their photos from their Harry Potter Parties to the Product Pages. It's really easy and we love seeing our costumes in ACTION!

I Need A Hero!

Crazy times we're living in, eh? Troubles on Wall Street and plenty of other places around the world, and the politicians are fighting tooth and nail to get into the Presidential seat. Where are Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Wolverine, The Fantastic Four, Hawk Girl, Raven, and The Incredibles when you need them? At BuyCostumes.com, that's where! BuyCostumes.com has the most super selection of superhero costumes in the universe! From D.C. Comics to Marvel Comics, and even Pixar, you'll find the best of the best at BuyCostumes.com! Thank goodness, because right now, we need them more than ever! So why do we love these crazy guys and gals in bodysuits, tights and capes? There are all kinds of reasons. They are mysterious, eccentric, maybe a little crazy, but definitely brave, and perhaps most importantly, they are selfless in so many ways. Oh, and usually, they have super powers... this helps a lot! Typically, they also have a weakness, and this makes them human--and loveable. Batman, is my favorite, and maybe one of the big reasons is that he actually doesn't have any super powers at all--he's just a genius, an amazing athelete and warrior... and he's pretty handsome, to boot (and Christian Bale is not bad, either). Plus his arch enemy, The Joker is probably the creepiest and scariest super villain ever, so this keeps things exciting. AND he has awesome vehicles, weapons, and tools!But then there is Spider-Man... he shoots webs and swings from them through New York City and has spider sense, and battles guys like The Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus. And he's a little nerdy apart from being a superhero, which actually makes him cool.

Superheroes... there are so many great ones to choose from and everyone has their favorites for different reasons. Who's your favorite? Whoever it is, chances are, we have him or her here at BuyCostumes.com, along with accessories, party kits, and the whole nine yards.

Maybe the biggest reason for our love of superheros is that they represent hope. They keep on fighting the good fight even in the darkest hour, and in the end, they get the bad guys!
