"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" - HP My night began with electrifying Potter shananigans! Face paint & selfies were fitting to get us in the book release spirit! We arrived on time, so the line was very short! We had the option of choosing between six designs: a golden snitch, HP lightning, the deathly hallows, platform 9 3/4, a snake, and the famous Harry Potter glasses & lighting scar! I chose the HP with purple shading, while my friend found the deathly hallows with green shading a more suitable choice... I should mention that she is a Slytherin! My friend and I had the pleasure of meeting the famous Slytherin, Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) at a meet & greet in Los Angeles a couple years back when the Deathly Hallows was released! I recommend searching the web for future meet & greets with the Potter cast! If you find the new book a glowing piece of magic, no worries... "You're just as sane as I am" -Luna Lovegood. The book is definitely quite large for the script quantity. However, with such an impressive story team, I can't even imagine how many copies will be sold in the next year! Yet another treasure to add to my Harry Potter Bookshelf! "Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress adventure" - Albus Dumbledore And a long night it was! The event began at 8pm and books were not released until the clock struck 12! Not to mention the 30 minute wait in the purchase line, which was organized very well considering the number of fans in need of their copies. I spotted my Gryffindor House in the activities area, which was set up on the second floor of the bookstore.
ANYTHING FROM THE TROLLY? The store was decked out in Harry Potter books and stationary for this special day! From books & notebooks to water bottles & candy, the store was a huge Potter nation! I couldn't resist the candy and decided to splurge on some festive candy corn and Bertie Bott's jelly Beans! Alas, earwax! A Muggle Wall was also set up for fans to write about what Harry Potter means to them. Quotes and names of favorite characters were also shared! For myself, I shared a quote from one of my favorite characters, Luna Lovegood: "Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end if not always in the way we expect".
"We're only as strong as we are united and as weak as we are divided" - Albus Dumbledore A magical delight is what I call this Harry Potter and the Cursed Child release event! A clip from the premier red carpet in London is linked below! Love always, Mia. Don't forget!: The wand chooses the wizard!
