HELP I AM GOING TO BE IN NEW YORK WHEN HARRY POTTER IS RELEASED
 

What should I do? Where Should I Buy it? Good release parties?

I may be wrong, but I believe there are at least a few bookstores in New York.

Barnes & Noble will have some events. Follow this link:

Harry Potter's being released? who knew? how much time did he get? what'd he do?

that should knock the wind out of Paris' sails!

check out Books of Wonder 18 W. 18th Street - they usually have a big deal party at midnight - last time we went w/ then 10 year old son and two friends - there many kids but even more 20 something adults, dressed up in Potter character costumes . . . quite odd really.

The cover illustrator was there that night, signing copies and reading to the kids . . . most who just wanted to go home and sleep.

The Union Square Barnes and Noble will also probably have afew events.

Funny...I had thought about posting how we're going to be in southern Maine when it is released, where to buy it, etc. (Amazingly, it does not appear that every town in southern Maine has its own Walmart.) Of course, if we buy our son the book during vacation, we will lose him until he finishes the book, so I'm hoping that he'll forget about it until our return.

FORGET that book 7 is coming out, ohhhhhhhhhh I don't think so. The hype to both the book and movie coming out are going to get huge, everywhere. In the last 2 days I have seen the trailer twice, and 3 Harry Potter related news stories.

There are parties at most book stores in the city. I'll be at the Barnes and Noble book store long before midnithg, on Broadway in the low 80's.

I have no specific details but why not look into which book store plans on staying open at midnight for the official release?

I'd think one of the large Barnes and Noble stores in Midtown or the UWS will have an "event" to attract media attention. (Toys R Us did this with the last Xbox release.)

Do your parents know you are in New York?

Hoops - you picked the best possible place to be - Scholastic (Harry Potter publisher) has a few things planned at their store in Manhattan:

The larger Barnes and Nobles (near Lincoln Center, Union Square, B'way & 82nd) are usually open until midnight every day anyway. I would check their websites -but assume all will have some sort of event.

Preorder the book for p/u at a NYC store.
My daughter just found out she gets to go to a prescreening of the new movie this Thursday.
She is thrilled!

Hey why don't we meet up and stand in line together, be alot more fun, anyone else up for our own little Fodors HP Party?
