It should be pretty fun. People will be going in costume to my local midnight opening.

The radio station I work with is going to do a live broadcast from it as well.

The Hughes bookshop in St. Stephens Green have a really cool competition where the winner will be dressed up as Harry Potter, and then will get a spin on a specially comissioned Luas decked out as the Hogwarts Express

I liked it for the last book when Waterstones in nassau street changed its name to ''Flourish and Blotts'' and a bank in town changed its name to ''Gringotts''.

such things are cool.

they get dressed up as the Quaffle and get beaten by the bludgers.

God, that's a scary amount of HP knowledge for someone who really isn't a huge fan.

Yeah, for the last 2 books. It was just nice to see a place making the effort when they didn't have to.. I mean, they're going to sell thousands of copies anyway but it's nice to see them having a bit of fun with it.

No, I'm boring and have reserved mine, however I might queue up for the seventh book. I decided it would be rude to queue up for this one after what happened last time
