The Seventh Page: [V i d e o]

I haven't celebrated Halloween since I was a little girl. [She frowns faintly.] That isn't entirely correct. Hogwarts did hold a Halloween feast, but no one dressed up like they do in the Muggle world.

[As she speaks, she rifles through a box. Someone has been "shopping".]

All things considered I would like to celebrate it properly again. [Smiling, Hermione shifts the camera and reveals a Medieval dress.] This is only the dress, of course. I've bought accessories to accompany it and I will be using some Magic to complete the effect.

[Opps. She's babbling. Again.]

If you're wondering... I've decided to dress like Shakespeare's Hermione from A Winter's Tale.

What do you think?

Shakespeare is a famous playwright in my world. He lived over three hundred and fifty years ago, but his plays are still enjoyed.

[weaponry]

Wow! What a legacy! Why do people still read his plays? Are they really that good?

[bibliophile_annex]

His plays are extremely varied and they're full of wit and imagination that most playwrights lack. Shakespeare wrote tragedies, comedies, romances and even historical dramas. And, as if that wasn't enough, he also wrote poetry - sonnets in particular.

[Sorry, she's a fan.]

He is also known for concocting words when there were no words available to express his idea.

[weaponry]

Whoa! He sounds like he could do it all. How funny are his comedies? [ ....She won't voice her fondness for romances. ] If I read his plays, will I gain an understanding of your world's history? [ ...Ahaha... She's very ignorant on other wordly matters. ]

You mean he just made words up? [ WHAT IS THIS SORCERY.... ]

[bibliophile_annex]

I find them fairly amusing. But you have to remember his time period. Some of the jokes are confusing because of how he phrases them.

[She has to think about that one.] I think you would get an understanding of what is considered "genius" in my world. And if you read the histories, there are factual parts.

Exactly.
