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!

NYC rocks! But I don't think I can go to them at all, while I stay in Brooklyn bored out of my mind, and Manhattan has all of these big celebrations...

This sounds like such a good thing for kids. I am sure they will have a good time. That is the best thing about the Harry Potter books, it seems like they do so many activities for kids, and it really encourages them to read.

Ahh, I'll be in New York (could be very good) for the 21st on July! Hmm, but chances are there will be no one who will want to take me to New York City at midnight, and that's terrible. My parents won't even be there! I wish I could go - I've never been to anything where people celebrate the release of Harry Potter before, and because my parents won't be there with me in New York, chances are I'll never get to. =(

ugh. I was in NYC like three months ago for vacation! I told my parents to wait, but no, they wanted to go earlier. Well, if you live there, take lots of pictures for the unlucky people at HPANA :(
