Hi All,

Can I slightly abuse this list for a moment and equate London with the
whole of England or the UK? Thanks.

Where have we all preordered HBP? I've plumped for Waterstones in
Cambridge, but if there are any other HPfGU folk in the area it might be
fun to meet up on the night.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.

I haven't been able to find anywhere willing to start taking orders in the Watford area.  Borders said that they probably will be open late for the book but that no decision has been made yet, hence, won't take orders.  I probably should go the other way and check in Harrow.
 
I'd love to meet up with others as well in the Greater London area.  Cambridge is just a bit too far.  LOL

Waterstones in New Cross. Waterstones is doing a deal
of 50 in vouchers for every HBP pre-ordered. I chose
the adult cover edition.

I have pre-ordered from Amazon, but am considering visiting Borders at
Lakeside as they are due to be open at midnight. Last time there was quite a
crowd there by all accounts

Waterstones at Piccadilly/Hampstead.  If the Hampstead one is open at
midnight, then I will go there, but if not the Piccadilly branch is my next
nearest one...

Anyone know how/when you can find out?

Why bother preordering?  I will go to the bookshop in Godalming either 
for a midnight opening, or on the Saturday morning, depending on the 
kids.  London's a bit far for this purpose.

Subject: HBP preview for fans??
Message-ID: <d7otpk+1001q@...>

Apparently HP fans in New York or somewhere have arranged a special preview of the GoF 
film at an IMAX just for the fans including a party and whatnot. I wondered if anyone from 
this list has BFI connections/feels up to trying to sort something similar at the London IMAX. 
The film premier is 18th November. I know that the London IMAX does a lot of its 
programming just a few weeks in advance, so there probably is time to slot in something. If 
no one else feels up to it, but if there is interest in attending such a thing from this list, I 
could have a go at arranging it on behalf of HPFGU-London if that is ok. It would sound 
better coming from an 'organisation'.

Hi Laura,

This sounds like a great idea and I guess November isn't too far away in
terms of planning something.  Let's check it out!

My brother is a lecturer in media and film studies and has written stuff for
the BFI - a tenuous connection, I know, but he may know something about how
and when they do their programming.  I think he is on holiday at the moment
though, so if you don't mind contacting the BFI on behalf of this group, at
least we'll know if it's a possibility.

I'm assuming we would need to hire the venue for a special viewing, in which
case, we would need to gather far more people than the 4-10 who would
normally attend HPfGU London meetings to make it work (there are places we
could promote the event though).  The London IMAX seats 477 people and it
does do corporate hirings, but I reckon it would be very expensive,
especially if we had to cover a minimum number of heads.  I'm also unsure
how easily they could get hold of the film on request ahead of the official
launch.

In the past, The Barbican Cinema has shown preview screenings of HP films,
so that's a less risky option we could explore, for a smaller group.  We
could also look at hiring a smaller cinema (again, subect to availability of
the film).  My brother is on the board of the Rio Cinema, so may know how we
might go about that.

Anyway, thanks for raising this, Laura, and offering to check it out.

Neil

Message-ID: <d8hpq5+urdb@...>

Accio 2005 would like to remind you that if you prefer to take part 
in late night bar discussions without that irritating worry 
of 'where was my hotel again?' - the deadline for registering for 
the full weekend, with an on-campus room, is fast approaching. After 
30th June we'll have to ask people to find their own accommodation.

So if you don't want to be looking for a taxi cab when everyone else 
is just telling the painting the password, book now.

Accio 2005 is an unofficial friendly event, bringing together 
academics and adult Harry Potter fans to discuss all aspects of J. 
K. Rowling's Harry Potter books. Planned events include a Grand Jury 
style trial of Snape, workshops, presentations, panels, speeches, 
games, a feast, and the aforesaid informal discussions into the wee 
hours. Remember, this will be your first opportunity to discuss 
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince with fellow fans and 
interested professionals.

Accio 2005, the first Harry Potter conference in the UK, will take 
place at the University of Reading over the weekend of 29 - 31 July, 
2005. For more information, please see our website at 
http://www.accio.org.uk./

Message-ID: <d8v5lq+gb60@...>

Hi There,
         I live in a small town called Faringdon on the 
Oxon/Wiltshire border. I've just had the programme through for our 
local arts festival, www.faringdonartsfestival.org, if you are 
interested.

There is included in the literature section:

Saturday 9th July, 11am, Faringdon United Church
The Big Read: Harry Potter
We invite everyone who's read the Harry Potter books, young or not 
so young, to come along and discuss them, and speculate wildly about 
what's in the new volume! Perhaps this will be the foundation of a 
new regular book group in Faringdon? That's up to you.

It's free and timetabled to last an hour, AN HOUR! Have they NO idea 
what we obsessives are like when we get going?!

Is anyone else in this general area and interested in going? I'm 
rapidly becoming known locally for my HP obsession, (the bawling at 
Hermione in the local supermarket gives me away every time:))

Sam

Hello All,

A request has arrived here at Hexquarters from Vicky Allan 
(a reporter with the Scottish newspaper Sunday Herald) 
who is seeking to speak to adult HP fans in Scotland. As 
she already has the female perspectives well covered, 
Vicky is looking for male points of view at this time.
 
Please contact Vicky directly via phone at 0131 620 2806 
or via email at vickallan @... (without that extra

Hello,
Awhile back I said I was going to contact someone I

IMAX. I've not had a response after awhile now, so I
am guessing I won't get one. I won't have a chance to
contact either the IMAX or the distributors, so if
anyone else wants to chase this up, feel free!
