I'm buying the tickets today once I get the loan, so I'll get that info to you. Which addy is good to email to? I'll send you my arrival time, cell #, all that.
And yeah, good point about the mixture of the two houses' worst qualities. With a really bad pure Slytherin, you'd get, say... Ken Lay. (Looking at the real world, that is.) Greed and self-interest above all, and lots of people have their lives ruined for his success. A really bad pure Gryffindor, and you get... Fred Phelps. Goes after his ideals with every ounce of his being and never backs down in the face of adversity, but they're just horrible, horrible ideals.
But you need to combine the two for the real scariness to occur on big, terrifying scales.
