I would love to have any information if anyone else attended a pre-release bookstore (or other) Harry Potter party last night. This was the first time I had done so, and a lot of fun--and a lot of people. They had 500 books on hand for the expected crowd.

Here's a brief description of "my" party; I am hoping that others also went!

We had a really good party at the Univ of CT bookstore, from 10 PM to midnight. Had three live owls (my favorite was the little screech owl, an absolute doll); tarot readings--I got the 7 of cups; costume contest ( a really great Prof Trewlawny won!), and "more" as they say. Oh, cafe transformed all its regular dishes into Harry Potter polyjuice and the like. When you first came in, you reached into a pot held by a wizard to find out what house you were in. I was hoping for Gryfindor, of course, or Ravensclaw, but somehow ended up in HufflePuff! Lots of prizes and giveaways, including a "muggle trip to London", which I entered. Also magical violin music played live, a juggler, tatoos, quizes, and I am sure I am leaving a lot out!

Anyone else have an experience to share?

That sounds like it was a lot of fun Beth!

I didn't end up going to one of the midnight parties. I'm sorry now that I didn't.

I didnt go to any parties, I had to drive early the next day to pick dd up from camp - it was sad as we were signed up to go to a party!!

I hit the Walmart in SE Michigan, and it looked like they gave out numbers starting at 8pm (the table was still there at 6:30 am) and they had book marks, and 4 colors of wristbands - at 6:30 am the Gryffindor bands were all gone - LOTS of Slytherin bands tho!!
