Deathly Hallows - Unveiling at midnight in Waterstone, Manchester, UK Last week Warner announced that they were going to tour with an exhibition of Harry Potter sets, costumes and other stuff.

The press release notes: ‘“Harry Potter: The Exhibition” will include elaborate displays of authentic costumes, props and
artifacts from popular environments featured in the films such as those from Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry, including the Gryffindor common room and Hagrid’s hut. During its run,
the exhibit will also be updated to include artifacts from the final instalments of the Harry Potter film
series.’

Sounds like great fun.

Manchester Museum of Science and Industry have had the Star Trek and Doctor Who Exhibitions so they would be a great candidate for having the exhibition at their premises.

So come on MOSI, become a host venue contact Lisa O’Keefe at Becker Group in the USA on 866-231-8328.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows was the focus of our attention yesterday.

Because DSCN5553_editedKay entered the children for a TV competition on Granada Reports last week and our three year old, Rachel, won the prize.

And the prize was…

We took our other children to watch and they were asked to lend a hand too. The press took photos, whether we appear in papers with so many other grand openings going on is a moot point but we all enjoyed the attention.

For those of you who don’t know Amazon have set-up Harry Potter World, where they’ve got a whole of Harry Potter stuff.

Plus they’ve a nice trailer for the new film and Stephen Fry giving a teaser about his recording of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. 

They’re also showing the most Harry Potterish town in the UL and there’s a muggle counter!

I loved it, great marketing and well done Amazon.
