Release Party!
Friday, July 20
Party 10 pm-midnight
The Faculty of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
requests your presence at Bookworks
as we celebrate the beginning of Harry Potter's final year at Hogwarts.
As to what is to come this year in the Wizarding world not even Professor Trelawny will venture a prediction, but we are certain that for this one evening the whole world shall celebrate! This fantastical event at Bookworks bookstore will no doubt be the highlight of the year for both the Wizarding and Muggle communities in Albuquerque. Bookworks has activities planned to satisfy every witch, wizard, and muggle, young and old. Parents, do not fear, Aurors have been stationed at every entrance to be sure the event is not hexed by He-who-must-not-be-named and his bands of Death Eaters. Below is a special message from the staff at Bookworks about this magical night. You shall see us again on the night of 20 July, when we trust you shall be prepared for an evening like none you have ever experienced.
With each book you buy at Bookworks, you will not only guarantee yourself a book the second it's released, but you will also get a Wizard Passport! Your passport number is your number in line at 12:01 am to pick up the book! The passport also includes:
**entries in raffles for amazing prizes, including at least $100 in Flying Star gift certificates, one of 20 life size Harry Potter cutouts, and other limited edition Harry merchandise!
**TONS of valuable coupons for area businesses
**activities in Bookworks' own Diagon Alley, such as a visit to Ollivander's for the perfect wand for each little witch and wizard, a Divination Session with Professor Trelawny, and a chance to look like Harry Potter, with lightning bolt face painting!
Also, look for many other activities, like being sorted by the Sorting Hat and competing, seeing live owls, a costume contest, Broomless Quidditch, a raffle for a Nimbus 2000 (enter now!), a trivia contest, and MORE! Plus, 93.3 KOB FM will be at the event! Flying Star even has a special Harry Potter menu, that night only!
Teachers and Parents: Do you have some magical talents to share (or just enjoy Harry Potter)? Are you interested in volunteering a couple hours of your time at the Harry Potter party of the century? Please call Maggie at 344-8139! Thanks!
If music is your magical talent, be sure to enter our WIZ ROCK competition.
Wizard Rock: Music about the Harry Potter series, by fans of Harry Potter.
Your mission: To be the winner of the Bookworks Battle of the Wiz Rock Bands!
The rules: You must be between the ages of 1 and 101, and have an existing or new band that can crank out a Wiz Rock hit!
To enter: Bring in or send a tape or CD of your wiz rockin' to Bookworks, 4022 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107, by Friday, the 13th of July. Enclose along with it a copy of your Wiz Rock lyrics, the names and ages of your band members, and a photo, if you'd like. Entries will be judged on inventiveness, lyrics, and the band's sound! The winning band or bands will appear LIVE at our Harry Potter party on Friday night, July 20. ALL bands who enter will be mentioned on our website and at the party!
