Harry Potter Fans: Consult This Movie Goer's Guide Before You Leave
A lot of movie theaters are already sold out, but we've found a few remaining tickets.
It has finally arrived. The most successful movie franchise that spanned over a decade and created hit movie after hit movie: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows Part 2 will reach its conclusion July 15. I have scouted the nearby theaters and based on the number of already sold out performance can easily predict the huge success of this movie. Be advised finding tickets is going to require a little ingenuity.

They indicated that they were not doing anything special to commemorate the event. I was very surprised that they have nothing planned as I have enjoyed so many of the extras. I saw Sex and the City 2 and they had a table from Boston Store selling Sarah Jessica Parker’s new scent. I did end up buying a bottle of the new scent because they had some incentive thing going. They could have made a funky menu for their Bistro theaters they did with Eat, Pray Love by bringing specific food into the evening as she traveled from Country to Country. However “no” Harry Potter will show like a normal movie.

I was shocked to see that only one theater was doing anything at all to kick-start the festivities. I would have thought maybe they could bring in some specialty candy or something unique to the event because the Harry Potter series is a huge success. Maybe I’ll make specialty candy and have a little celebration before the event.
