CT Harry Potter Parties for Muggles

For updated information on Book 7 release parties around Connecticut please click here.

It's that time again, Muggles all over Connecticut will be dressing up with wands and pointy hats, playing Wizard's chess,and staying up all night reading the latest installment of the phenomenally popular Harry Potter series. Not being one of the super lucky muggles who bagged a copy of the book before it's release in Cananda, Ireland, or New York, I'll be at Borders in West Hartford who are staying open late for the midnight release of JK Rowling's latest "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". Find out where there is a Potter Party near you!

When I got home yesterday this very cool message from the distinctive voice of Jim Dale was waiting for me on the answering machine: "Hello,your reserved Harry Potter for 40% off at Borders Express. Hello, this is Jim Dale, narrator of the Harry Potter audio books, reminding you to pick up your reserved copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at Borders Express. Your book will be available at the stroke of midnight as Friday turns into Saturday, July 16th. All reserved copies must be claimed before the close of business on Sunday, July 17th. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be available with a fabulous discount at Borders Express in hardcover and as an unabridged audio book on cassette and CD. Cheers." Nice bonus, thanks Borders!
