Harry Potter

Harry Potter isn’t just for kids. NSU students express their excitement for one the most anticipated movie and book releases of the summer. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix hits theatres today and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in the series, will be released Saturday, July 21 at 12:01 am.

“I saw The Order of the Phoenix last night at midnight and I am reserving a copy of the book so I can get one before it sales out and it will be read immediately,” senior music education major Allyson Neely.

Some students went to great lengths and distances to see the movie as soon as it came out.

“I went to Shreveport last night to see the movie,” senior biology major Alyssa Sanders said. “The Order of the Phoenix is the most action packed book so I was excited to see how they put it in the movie.”

Sanders said she is such a Harry Potter fan she dressed up as Hermione last year for Halloween.

Some fans had the book preordered to make sure they got a copy and to avoid the madness at the time of the release. Other fans, like senior journalism major Jamie Webb, will be standing in line.

“I am going to New Orleans the weekend the book comes out. One of my friends and I are going to go eat dinner and then go get in line at the bookstore and wait for the release,” Webb said.

Webb started rereading the series at the beginning of the summer so the information would be fresh in her mind while she reads the final book.

“I have the book preordered and I don’t know what to expect from it. I’m also really looking forward to the movie because I think the fifth book is the best,” senior mathematics major Paul Elliot said.

The Book Merchant will be joining in the excitement of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by hosting a release party Friday, July 20 starting at 10:30 pm. The book will go on sale at midnight. The party will have a costume contest for adults and children and door prize drawings through out the night. Books can also be preordered at the Book Merchant.

“ Our waiting list for the book started the day it was announced. The earliest special order I have is from Feb. 3,” Book Merchant owner J. Michael Kenny said.
