Imagine having to do this when you’re already late for the leprechaun convention.

The LepreCon?

Anyone who read the Artemis Fowl books would know it's LEPRecon, for Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance unit. I recall a bit in one of the books where the fairy Holly, a lead character and an officer in LEPRecon, is glad that her standard uniform no longer includes those ridiculous big buckles and funny hats.

Wonder if it'll ever get a movie

It did. Unfortunately it wasn't faithful to the original novel. Relied on a Macguffin to resolve the plot. Sad.

Unfortunately, they never are. I think it would make a stellar animated series in the right hands. I really enjoyed the books when I was a kid

The trifecta of childhood book movies that do not exist.

Eragon. Artemis Fowl. Alex Rider.
