It’s been almost 10 years since a new Harry Potter book was released.
But a play wasn’t enough for Potter fans – they wanted a whole new book.
The “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” play – co-written by Jack Thorne and directed by John Tiffany – is just the latest installment in a fantasy series that spans the worlds of literature, movies, games and merchandise. “So we thought we could have it somewhere that would be cool and different”.
Comparatively, the final book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows“, sold 11 million copies between the USA and U.K.in 24 hours, according to BBC News. The party will feature trivia, costume contests, face-painting, wand-making and a special Muggle Wall where customers can share their favorite memories of Harry Potter. Attendees have until Friday to pre-order their copy of the book from one of Vroman’s two locations, including Hastings Ranch, as the price of admission for two. I went to the midnight release for “Deathly Hollows”.
“I remember last time a girl was so excited to get the book she was anxiously shaking”, Palacios says.
Kaycee Daniel posted the pictures on her Facebook page with the caption, “Our Harry Potter Nursery is finally complete after several months of planning!”
