At 3 p.m. “Reggie Raptor”, a talking dinosaur, will arrive at Sugar Island for a story hour, reading excerpts from Rowling’s “Tales of Beedle the Bard”, a Potter-related book.
MUGGLES, squibs, witches and wizards are all invited to Waterstones in Barnstaple this Saturday for a Harry Potter party in honour of the midnight release of JK Rowling’s latest book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – Parts I and II. “It’s the next piece of the Harry Potter canon that we love”. The script finds Potter working as an Auror (similar to a detective working in the Wizarding World) and also a father of three children.
It was always hard being Harry Potter – and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic and a husband and father of three school-age children.
“My kids are not as insane for him as I am, but the younger one is really into Harry, too”, Guthrie said.
Toby will go to bed early on Saturday and set his alarm for just before midnight so that he is rested and ready when the book becomes available!
“Harry Potter fans are very excited”.
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” is the most pre-ordered book through Barnes and Noble and Amazon since the last Harry Potter book was released, according to The Washington Post.
From quidditch demonstrations to a wand-making workshop and Triwizard Tournament, Canada is set to be put under Harry Potter’s spell again. Fans are encouraged to show up in full costume for a contest and the event will include “Harry Potter” trivia, face-painting and photo booths.
For those who aren’t allowed to stay up ’til midnight, Harry Potter-themed activities and book sales will resume at 9 a.m. Sunday at all Barnes & Noble locations. “This is a little tentative, because none of us knows for sure what the play will be like, but this is our plan at this point”.
In New York City, the Strand Book Store is expecting upwards of 400 people on Saturday night, spokeswoman Whitney Hu said.
