HP7, Wizard Week

As alluded to earlier, we're going all out for the release of the final Harry Potter book. Not only will we be hosting a huge party in the U District, Mill Creek, and Bellevue stores so we can sell the book at midnight (the very second it is legal to do so), we've set up activities for fans of all ages for every day of the week leading up to the midnight release (and these Wizard Week events will also be happening at our Tacoma store).

What sorts of things will we be doing? Well, we'll have cram sessions where kids can bone up on the previous six books to prepare for #7, bookmark making (all week), Potter prediction journals, a songwriting workshop, and movie nights. We're even organizing a U District protest, where we'll get kids (and adults!) to make signs and declare their position as to the status of a certain old wizard. (Dumbledore lives!) Events vary from store to store, and day to day.

Get the latest info on all the goings-on, take a look at our special Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows page.
