Slytherin Dinosaur for Infinitus 2010.
I went to Infinitus 2010 completely unprepared for any nerdiness. No costume, no nothing. Thankfully I brought a bunch of vests and was able to buy lots of Slytherin things from the dealer’s room. Pokey came a lot better prepared, with her Slytherin-esque sweater and her Slytherin backpack.

I encountered the dinosaur hat at Universal Islands of Adventures, in the Jurassic Park section. Everyone thought I was joking when I put it on, but I was 100% serious. I was going to be a Slytherin Dinosaur.

So I started practicing by being a dinosaur in various parts of Universal. It helped me get into character that I was wearing my Snarry Suite bracelet. Another story altogether.

It’s important to learn the ways of being a dinosaur from dinosaurs themselves. Even if they’re currently dead.
Wearing my con badge on my neck.
Granted, they didn’t tell me which neck to wear my con badge on. Regardless, the costume itself was super easy. I just needed a dinosaur hat and a Slytherin tie, bought in the conveniently located dealer’s room.
