Last month we told you about the Barnes & Noble's special event featuring Harry Potter U.S. narrator Jim Dale at one of their New York stores to celebrate the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We now have the full details of the event
, which will include bestselling children's authors and a live webcast of the event on the B&N website.
From the release:
The five hours of live entertainment will feature appearances, discussions, and signings by favorite Disney authors including:
Barnes & Noble will kick off the celebration of the seventh and final book in the J.K. Rowling series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, at 5PM. Radio Disney will emcee the celebration and entertain guests with games, prizes, and music. The event will also be webcast live on Barnes & Noble.com (www.bn.com/midnightmagic).
We have also learned that toy store Toys "R" Us will be hosting a special event at their flagship store in Times Square, on Friday, July 20. Festivities will start at 9 p.m. and include games, quizzes and prizes.
Come dressed as your favorite Harry Potter character, or be like Dobby and wear your most miss-matched, oddest socks for opportunities to win prizes. Test your Harry Potter knowledge at N.E.W.T. levels, see magic and wizardry, and enjoy other exciting activities. Plus, guests who purchase Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will receive a commemorative glow-in-the-dark poster only available at Toys "R" Us Times Square!

That is so cool! If only they would have something in FLORIDA. I have a Toys R Us right around the block and thats pretty stupid just to have it in Times Square. But oh well, Im guessing that something even better will happen in Florida. Hopefully..

Sounds like a lot of fun. I know that many local (and smaller) events will be going on. It should be a fun time for all as the anticipation builds. Then everyone scurries home to read the book before news leaks out.

Wow sounds super fun! We have a much smaller street party planned in my city, but it should still be fun. There will be a 'Cirque de Soleil'-like group doing a wizard theme performance, and trainers with live owls, and lots of other cool things. I definitely can not wait! Yay!

I'm kinda glad I live in Poduckville during this event. It sounds like the oldest attendee will be 10 or 11. A glow in the dark poster? *rolls eyes* When will they learn that most fans are no longer in elementary school?

Too bad all the really big bashes are in New York. I have a feeling we won't have anything very big around where I live.

MollyMomma, Maybe some of us US small towners can drive to the big towns. I think I will be one of those out of luck small towners, however. Oh well, I wish the best to all those who can attend!
