In celebration of the release of the highly anticipated eighth Harry Potter™ story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two: Special Rehearsal Edition Script, the Marshall University Bookstore will be hosting a Harry Potter release event beginning at 11 p.m. Saturday, July 30, through to 12:30 a.m. Sunday, July 31, in the Memorial Student Center.
The event will have a Harry Potter theme, featuring a variety of activities, including a Harry Potter costume contest, a Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans™ contest, a photo booth and more. This latest Harry Potter story will go on sale at midnight during the event, according to Mike Campbell, manager of the MU bookstore.
“It’s been nine years since fans have seen a Harry Potter story grace the shelves of our bookstore and we couldn’t be more excited to provide a midnight release party for our community,” Campbell said. “We encourage everyone to pre-order the book from our store to ensure they get their copy that evening.”
Campbell said the event is free and open to Harry Potter fans of all ages. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two: Special Rehearsal Edition Script, originally priced at $29.99, is available for pre-order for only $20.99 at the bookstore’s Huntington campus location.
Marshall University Bookstore is located at 5th Avenue and 1 John Marshall Drive inside the Memorial Student Center on the Huntington campus.
