| | |  Scholastic to hold "Harry Potter Place" party for DH
In a press release with Scholastic, they've announced that they are going to be hosting a "Harry Potter Place" party at their store in Manhattan. It will be open from 5 P.M. to 11 P.M. where they'll unveil the first U.S. edition of the book that's been signed by J.K. Rowling.
Tons of fun events will be happening ... in fact, it's a bit shocking, everything that they will be having:
Quote:
The magical world of "Harry Potter Place" will feature a giant Muggle Board where Harry Potter fans can share personal messages about the Harry Potter books. Muggles will also be mesmerized by the 20-foot high moving Whomping Willow, and entertained with activities and entertainment including: face-painting, wand-making, fire-eaters, magicians, jugglers and stilt- walkers. Harry Potter fans of all ages will also be able to have their photos taken with the cover art from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in the special Deathly Hallows Gallery. As the excitement builds, the Countdown Clock will track the hours, minutes and seconds until the 12:01 a.m. release.
Quote:
The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Knight Bus, a replica of the "violently purple" triple-decker bus from the Harry Potter books, will end its seven-week national tour at "Harry Potter Place" in time for the launch of the 7th and final book. The bus will arrive at the 8 a.m. press conference and will remain parked in front of Scholastic at 557 Broadway from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Fans can line up to board the bus and create a 20-second video expressing their thoughts about the Harry Potter books. Each participant will receive a unique password to view their video at Harry Potter books, games, and activities for Muggles | Scholastic.
Also, something unexpected: Scholastic will be uniting the essay winners from the past book launches of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2000), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2003) and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (2005). They will be a part of the press conference and the midnight launch of Deathly Hallows.
All of this will take place on July 20th, the day before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released.
Thanks to SSer EmmaRiddle for letting us know!  | |

Oh my God... I wish I could go there ><
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

Sounds awesome! If I were to see the first DH signed by Jo, I think I would go berserk and try to steal it.  | |
