Message-ID: <avcevh+ah6n@...>

Hi everyone,

I will be in New York for a meeting on Monday 3rd March and have a 
couple of reasons for posting here:

(1) I plan to tag on some leave days, so would love to meet up with a 
HP crowd, if anyone's up for it.  It would probably be the 4th-5th, 
but could be the weekend before (the Fri/Sat).

(2) I have to host a dinner for about 16 people on the Sunday evening 
(2nd).  I'm looking for an upmarket, interesting restaurant not far 
from the Hotel Giraffe in Park Avenue South.  Ideally, I'd like to 
book something that's tried and tested by NY-ers, so any ideas would 
be welcome.  The only slight qualification is that I'm vegetarian, 
but that's not usually a problem for most places.

I look forward to catching up with those of you I met on my last 
visit, and meeting a few new people.

Neil

Union Square Caf?. But you probably need to call asap to make the
reservation. It's a wonderful restaurant and always highly rated on the
Zagat surveys. I personally love Steak Frittes, but given the vegetarian
thing, I wouldn't recommend it - not sure they have anything but steak
and really great belgian-style fries.

I'd love to come. And it's my birthday right around then, so would be 
nice to meet some Potterites for the occasion...:D

Oh, Neil, Park Avenue Bistro (French) and Les Halles (French, under 
same management) just across the street...both MOST excellent (28th 
Street and Park Ave South). Union Square Cafe, fabulous. Same 
management: Gramercy Tavern, elegant and really upscale, but I prefer 
the food at the USC, truthfully.

I'm 99% sure I could get together on the Fri. night or Sat. 
afternoon, since I have to be in NYC for a memorial service the 
morning of the 1st.  Would that work for other folks?  Neil, is the 
weekend before still a possibility for you?

weekend is good.  being the working stiff I am, and as

weekends are my new favorite times of the week these
days.

So who has a bright idea on how our merry troupe

At the moment, it looks like I'll arrive on the Saturday, but it's likely to
be late afternoon at the earliest.  I will be staying over on the 4th and
5th and probably travelling back on the 6th.

I suppose I might be able to make a Saturday meeting if the plane is in
early enough, but would prefer to do something on the following Tuesday (the
4th) based on the current flight plans.  It's a bit difficult to say until
the flights are actually booked.

If there is any way you can meet up on Saturday, I'm there, anywhere 
(and that DEFINITELY goes for Amy too).  During the week, though, no 
can do.  

As for restaurants, there's a tasty vegetarian place called Zen 
Palate, but I forget exactly where it is.  There may be on on the 
Upper West Side and one in Union Square, maybe?  Sambuca on West 72nd 
is also tasty and a family style Italian restaurant - mmmmm!  I, too

Absolutely not!  Some people know each other from a
long time on the list, some have administered this or
other web sites together, some have met, but many of
us don't know many others.  We just know we all love
HP.  I would like to meet all of you!

Message-ID: <b13cm8+9b51@...>

Hi everyone,

Although the flights haven't been booked as yet, they are in the 
pipeline.  I'm now aiming to travel out to JFK on Friday 28th, so I 
can make an afternoon and/or evening gathering on the Saturday.  

I'm looking forward to meeting and/or catching up with everyone.  Oh, 
and if anyone wants anything bringing over, let me know.

Re. the restaurant search for my Board dinner, we decided to make a 
tentative booking of the private dining room at the Gramercy Tavern.  
It's not the cheapest joint I've ever encountered, and sets a minimum 
charge that would make any decent person choke, but it seems to fit 
the bill.  We did try the Grand Union Caf?, but they wouldn't take a 
booking for more than six people and were pretty snooty about it.  

Thanks again for the suggestions!

Neil

I'm there! I can even meet you, Amy, wherever the Yacht Club is.  As 
for everyone else, Heidi's suggestion is an excellent one, as DTUT has 
damned good treats.  I am happy to coordinate a get-together place.  
Do people want to meet for dinner?  Drinks (yes!)?  Snacks?  Just let 
me know, and I'll find a place, time, whatever.  I'm happy to show off 
my city at any time.  Neil gets priority on location suggestions, as 
he will have traveled the farthest to get here.

I'm there! I can even meet you, Amy, wherever the Yacht Club is.  As 
for everyone else, Heidi's suggestion is an excellent one, as DTUT has 
damned good treats.  I am happy to coordinate a get-together place.  
Do people want to meet for dinner?  Drinks (yes!)?  Snacks?  Just let 
me know, and I'll find a place, time, whatever.  I'm happy to show off 
my city at any time.  Neil gets priority on location suggestions, as 
he will have traveled the farthest to get here.

I think this is for March the 1st, a Saturday, sometime after 2pm?

And I think unless I have to meet up with people for group projects or 
something for school, I would so be there ^_^ need more details - who is 
planning this? Who is coming? etc. etc. etc.

~Sabs, who only met some fandom people around when CoS came out and met them 
through LiveJournal community which if this is set, I would ask them about it 
too ^_^

I think the yatch club is in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. I could be wrong 
though. This is my area. However, there might be different yatch clubs.

Sorry, didn't mean to mislead.  I have to be there to
conduct a memorial service in the morning.  So it
would actually be a very inappropriate place for us to
meet (it's fine for me to go on to spend the day with
friends in NY, but it would be a bit tactless for me
to sit down in the bar and do it right after the
service, n'est-ce pas?).  I was just trying to
indicate geography.

I don't care where in the city we meet--let's make it
convenient for Neil and the rest of us will take
whatever transportation to get there.

Sarah replied with a proposed plan, but then realised I'd booked 
somewhere.

Sarah, hold that thought!  The reason I made a tentative booking is 
that if the numbers dropped below 12, the minimum charge at the 
Gramercy Tavern would start to look rather prohibitive and we'd have 
to move to Plan B.  It's heading that way now, with several Directors 
not able to attend for one reason or another.

I would still be interested in hearing suggestions on restaurants 
near the hotel, especially venues that don't impose unreasonable 
restrictions on numbers, menu choices and so on.  

Sorry to bore everyone with this instead of helping decide where *we* 
should all be meeting.  

By all means email me off list!

Thanks.

Neil (flights are booked now and have the tickets!)

Oh, yes ... please come!

Due to the miracle of the time turner, I think the flight gets in 
quite early on Friday afternoon, shortly after I left, so I will be

Message-ID: <b2cpoh+ul68@...>

Hello, everyone!  I haven't posted here before, but I sometimes post
on OT-Chatter, and I *used* to be quite active on the main list.  (And
I predict I will be active there again, starting around late June.) 

I don't live near New York (I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan), but I
sometimes go to Connecticut to visit family. I'm looking into whether
I can fit in a visit to coincide with the upcoming meet. 

So far, it looks like the plan is for a get-together March 1st, in the
afternoon or evening -- does that sounds right?  I'm wondering if
anyone feels like also doing some shopping, museums, sightseeing, or
whatever on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I don't get much chance to
visit NYC, and I'd love an opportunity to spend more time with anyone
going to the meet.  

If anyone is interested, please respond here, or send an email to
judy@ judyshapiro.com [omit the space] (Yes, I know it's a silly email
address, but at least it's easy for me to remember.)

Message-ID: <b2iho3+f5t9@...>

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Amazingly enough, my various relatives all agreed that the weekend of
March 1st would be an ideal time for me to visit.  I found a cheap
airfare, and I can even fly into NYC and then switch airports and
leave from Connecticut at no extra cost. This is too easy! There has
to be a catch somewhere.

Anyway, I have purchased my plane ticket and am very much looking
forward to meeting all of you!  (Except that I'm looking forward to
seeing Neil *again*, rather than to meeting him for the first time.)

So, now I need to figure out where I should stay in New York (I am
arriving the afternoon of Friday, Feb 28), and when I'll leave New
York for Connecticut.  Any ideas on how late we'll be meeting on
Saturday?  If the gathering goes past 7 or 8 p.m., I might be better
off staying in New York on Saturday night, rather than asking my
relatives to come to New Haven late at night to get me. 

It sounds like Amy and Joywitch are also coming from out of town --
Amy and Joywitch, do you plan to stay in NYC Saturday night, or do we
need to wrap things up early enough that you can get back to Vermont
and DC?

Hi everyone,

Obviously, I'm raising my hand for Saturday, and I'm fairly sure of the
following people, from recent emails:

Joy (for the afternoon)
Jenny
Sabs
Jim
Amy (for the afternoon)
Judy

Who else?  Lou, Tzvi, Marina and Sarah and Abbie also, I think, but perhaps
they could all confirm?

I'm thinking it would be good to meet for lunch or coffee early on Saturday
afternoon, as some people can't be around for the evening, then see some
sights, and then meet for a drink and perhaps a meal in the evening (NY
pizza?  It has to be done), for those who can make the evening.  If everyone
is busy in the evening, no problem.

I'm going to be staying at this lavish joint: http://www.hotelgiraffe.com/
so anyone can reach me there.  I'm taking my mobile with me, so if I can get
it working (it is a triband), the number is 07957 423 185.  I can also get
in touch with Jenny by phone, which will be handy if I can't get near the
internet after I arrive.

The last time I came to NYC, we met at Grand Central Station, so we could do
that again (if we can agree a specific area), and perhaps say 1pm?  I feel a
bit daft suggesting venues to native NYers, so I won't even try that, but I
think we need to have a 3pm meeting place as well, for anyone who can't be
there for 1pm.  Mind you, Amy suggested 2ish, so perhaps we shouls agree a
time that everyone can make.  Heidi proposed "dtut's on about 84th and
2nd" - should we give that a shot?

I've met some people before: Jim, Joy, Judy and Lou, at least, and I've seen
photos of Amy and Jenny (and they, likewise, of me).  I think there are some
pictures in the folders of this list, in fact, but I'll post another one of
me, if there isn't.  I guess some of you haven't met any of us before, so
we'll need to have some of us identifiable in a public place, if not waving
copies of HP books.

By the way, after a lot of hassle with the Gramercy Tavern over my Board
meeting dinner, I booked a table at Eleven Madison Park.  If it's a dive or
a ripoff, please don't tell me. :-)

Looking forward to it!

I really have no problem with saturday. Are there any definite plans besides 
meeting in Grand Central. As well, I'm sure a few of you all know what the 
people behind the E-mail look like. We need signs (::amusing grin::) in my 
opinion. I can't make it 100% yet, cause I have to know time and plans 
besides meeting in Grand Central. I have my weekly lunch at 1pm, finish 
around 3, so most probably 4pm would be the best, or I could meet you all 
some place.

Gah - I hate when AOL cuts me off mid-posting.  Now I have to start 
all over again.  Here goes - I think Grand Central Station is an easy 
place to meet and find others.  If we all stand around the information 
booth which is right in the middle of the main concourse, we should 
find one another without too much difficulty.  If someone dares me, I 
might even wear a "Hi, my name is Jenny from Ravenclaw!" sticker or 
even make a pretty sign.  :-)

I also think DTUT is a great place to go, but not necessarily for 
lunch.  Neil suggested having a later place to meet up for latecomers, 
and DTUT would be a good place for that.  The treats are yummy and we 
can even make s'mores (mmmmmmmm), as I told Neil already.

How do people feel about having lunch in the area of DTUT?  I know the 
Upper East Side better than any other part of the city and could 
easily find a good place to eat.  We could go to a yummy pizza place 
for Neil (Totonno's or Uno's) or get great macaroni and cheese at The 
Comfort Diner.  If anyone wants anything else - burritos?  Thai? - we 
can find it within blocks of DTUT.

If anyone has travel worries, feel free to email me and I am sure I 
can point you in the right direction, as can Joywitch, who has spent 
many an hour on the NYC city subways (that's what she told me, 
anyway).

How does that sound?

Message-ID: <b3baal+rlql@...>

Ok, I am very excited about meeting you folks!  (And seeing Neil
again!)

I'm not a New Yorker, so I just have some general observations about
where we should meet.  Jenny, you can tell me how well this fits in
with the places your were thinking about.

If we can find someplace not too noisy, that would be great; it'll
make it much easier to have conversations.  I really want to avoid
tobacco smoke, but my impression is that NYC has gotten quite strict
about limiting smoking.  So, I'm guessing (hoping?) that avoiding
smoke won't be a problem. Do we have any smokers in the group that
will need a place that also has a smoking section, so they can take
cigarette breaks?

Grand Central sounds like a good place to meet.  How far is it,
though, from the Upper East side, DTUT, etc?  If possible, I'd like
not to do too much walking. If we decide to go via subway/bus/cabs
from Grand Central to wherever, then the distance shouldn't be a
problem. 

I think it's a great idea to have two meeting places, one for people
who can get there early, another for people who can't make it until
later.  I was thinking

How many people are interested in doing something in the evening?  I'm
trying to decide if I should stay over in NYC Saturday night. If I
don't stay over, I'll need to be back at Grand Central around 7pm or
so, to get a train to my sister's place in Connecticut.   

Is anyone up for doing some sightseeing on Friday afternoon?  I
should be in NYC early Friday afternoon, and I'd love to have a New
York native show me around. Also, is anyone interested in getting
together for dinner or coffee on Friday evening? It would be really
nice to get to spend more time with you folks!

I've been lurking for a month or so but kept forgetting to post. 
Sabrina's mentioned the meetup a few times.  Not being one to turn down 
the opportunity to meet HP geeks, I'd love to come.  I live in the city 
and don't really have any plans for next Saturday, so I'm up for 
anything.  (I guess it's worth mentioning that I'm just barely not 21 - 
my birthday is March 4th - so I may or may not be able to join in on any 
getting of drinks.)

Just uploaded a picture to the photos section.  (And yes, that *is* a

Hey everyone -

I know some of you are not of legal drinking age, but don't worry 
about that.  DTUT is a cafe type place, not a bar.  I think they do 
sell alcohol, but that doesn't mean you have to be 21 to go in.  Judy, 
there is no smoking in NYC restaurants and on the Upper East Side, it 
is enforced (I hate cigarette smoke as well).

I'll post the time and place (1pm, Grand Central Station) again later 
in the week, but please post the kind of food you'd prefer or what you 
know you hate (I HATE fish, for example).  Then I can get an idea and 
maybe make a reservation somewhere.  Also, please post if you are 
definitely planning to be there.  That way, we'll all know who and how 
many to expect.

Neil especially, what would *you* like to eat on Saturday here in NYC, 
the true Center of the Universe?

I want strawberries dipped in chocolate and marshmellows toasted over a
pu-pu-platter's flame, and I want to enjoy them in a place where you can
rent a laptop for about $20/hr and send high speed posts to HPfGU-OTC so
everyone can be jealous.
Then I want to cross the street to that southwestern restaurant where
they have great margaritas and excellent salsa and good mashed potatoes
and then go back across the street for a rice crispie treat and a fruit
bar.

But I can't, so I hope y'all will...

Well, I definitely plan to be there!  I even have a hotel now; I just
got the Radisson Lexington via Priceline for $89 (including Priceline
fee) plus tax for the previous night (Friday, 2/28.) Priceline rates
this a 3-star hotel, it is close to Grand Central, and the price
sounds good for NYC, so I'm happy. 

Meeting 1pm at Grand Central sounds fine; I should be back there
around 7pm to get my train to Connecticut. We should probably narrow
down the place to meet, though. Hmmm, I don't suppose Grand Central
has a Platform 9-3/4, does it?  

Jenny, I also hate fish. And, I'm a vegetarian, but so is Neil, so
that doesn't really add a new requirement. Any place that has non-fish
vegetarian food should work for me, too. (Some of you may know that I
used to be pretty strict about what I would and wouldn't do on
Saturdays, since it's the Jewish Sabbath.  However, I'm trying to
loosen up on that, so it shouldn't be a problem.) 

Anyone have suggestions for what I should see in NYC on Friday
afternoon and evening?  (Saturday morning won't be a problem; I will
have just enough time to get up, get ready, and check out of my hotel
by 1pm!)

Judy is right about me being a vegetarian. Just to be clear - I don't eat
meat or fish, but do eat dairy produce and eggs.

I find that pretty much anywhere caters for vegetarians these days, although
a steakhouse or seafood restaurant probably wouldn't be the best option! :-)

Combo reply! This is me up late - tis the college schedule it is - 
can't sleep early - need to adjust soon probably :p

Yes, I still plan on coming - unless something comes up *knocks on

something I'd eat wherever we may go ^_^

Abbie -- Am taking the Path train in from Hoboken to 33rd St - so 
maybe? Will email you later at a more resonable time when my brain is 
more coherrent ^_^

Judy -- oooo, Friday? *looks around* Eh, I don't know if I'm free or 
not *last class ends around noonish for that day, maybe other things* 
otherwise I'd take you up on browsing around NYC - haven't done that 
in ages - LOL - not that I know my way around NYC that well anyway 
even if I should since am a native :p :D Umm, maybe visit a museum? 
*brain not functioning at this late hour so don't mind me*

Lastly, have uploaded two pics to the photos section - just because 
the first one is a side view but better quality color taken by Lauren 
and her digital camera *be sure to bring it, Lauren!* and the other 
is so you at least you see part of the front of my face - don't mind 
the stuffed animals ^_^


Looking forward to seeing you lot,

Wow!  Other people who actually use Penn Station.  how
exciting.

I would suggest those of us coming into Penn, then, 
all meet at the subway for the 1-3-9 trains -- it's
off the LIRR concourse, near the 34th street LIRR
exit.  That way we're in the right direction to either
walk, or to hop the subway, depending on numbers and
energy levels.  
I'll be at the entrance to the subway at -- how does
12.30 sound?  I'll post a picture, and I'll have a
Golden Snitch with me, in case anyone's confused.  =)

Drop me a line on or off list, so i have a rough head
count (i wouldn't want to leave and miss someone!) 
See everyone Sat! 

Abbie, who should be working, but is sitting in a very
empty library with nothing to do

You bet.  And you haven't even met my new camera yet - I'm telling
you, it's insaaaaaaaane. :)

I'm still coming.  I'll just be walking down Lex, so it's kinda silly
for me to try meeting people other places.  I'll be wearing either a
Gryffindor or Ravenclaw scarf with a long black coat and a red bag.

As for food - I'm a veggie too.  Lacto-ovo, like Neil, and I'm not a
particularly picky eater.

My food preferences:  veggie.  Lacto-ovo fine.  Fish
wonderful, but I will refrain in order to spare
Jenny's nose.

I doubt I will be uptown in time to meet you all at
Grand Central--I might still be on City Island as late
as 1.  Having a couple of times/places, and having
Neil's cellphone turned on, helps a lot--that way I
should be able to find you.

Bouncing up and down in my seat,

Would I be able to join in on the festivities this late?

I would love to meet you guys. I can offer help with the subway... I 
suggest getting a "funpass" instead of the regular metrocard. 
With the funpass you can ride the subway all day for only $4.00. 
(including the bus.)

Lauren, I think we may have already met at the "Free Dobby" 
fiasco. Does morning rush hour in our Ravenclaw/Gryffindor 
clothes getting funny looks sound familiar? 

-Adrienne, hoping that she isnt too late!

I'm just wondering what DTUT is and why we want to meet there.  I 
don't really care, but something a little more centrally located 
might be easier for everyone.  I don't really have any suggestions, 
though, so just ignore me if you want to.

One thing that I think we should think about, though, is that group 
is getting a little large, and maybe we should limit it to HPfGU 
members.  I say this only because it sounds like people are talking 
about inviting friends to meet up with the group.  What do other 
people think?

DTUT is "Downtown Uptown" *had searched on google* and I thought that was a 
place to head to later *I'm assuming here* hence why I had posted to ask in 
regards to where we'd be heading after meeting at Grand Central at 1pm... um, 
anyone else - confirm/deny? 

And I've lost count as to who is coming - all that I know is that I'm meeting 
Kim and Abbie a half hour before reaching Grand Central to meet up with 
Jenny, Neil and others (I think?)

I would never ignore a curmudgeon.  Not you, anyway.  

No one ever said we should meet at DTUT; it was a suggestion from 
Heidi as a fun place to sit, have coffee, dessert and talk.  I *did* 
ask if anyone had any food preferences for lunch, but no one really 
got back to me with anything specific.  Neil mentioned getting some 
good New York pizza, though, and I thought of Totonno's (2nd Ave, 81st 
Street).  I know there are other good pizza places in the city but I 
can't think of one off the top of my head.  Totonno's is quite tasty, 
though.

We don't have to go to the Upper East Side or to DTUT, but I feel like 
if no one says "let's go here", we will never come up with a plan.  I 
suggested the Upper East Side because 1) the restaurants there are 
numerous, 2) a DTUT happens to be there and 3) it is very easy to get 
the UES from Grand Central Station.  DTUT might be a nice place to go 
after we eat lunch and are waiting for latecomers, like Amy Z, who I'd 
wait around for for hours.

I agree with Joy that the group is getting quite large at this point.  
I am about to make a list of all the people who said they'd be coming 
so I can call restaurants for a reservation or whatever.  One thing I 
will say straight out here: please don't be late!  If this is going to 
be such a large group gathering, it is pretty unmannerly to show up 45 
minutes later than the meeting time suggested (1pm, Grand Central 
Station Info Booth).  Please, be timely!

So... if anyone comes up with a really super idea for a place to eat, 
post it here.  If not, can we make Neil our British visitor happy and 
get pizza?  Totonno's also has salads and pasta dishes as well.

I'd also like some good pizza.  Also, it's supposed to snow this 
weekend here in DC, and NY often has the same weather, so we might 
want to stay very close to the subway.  I'll ask around for good 
pizza -- it's been my experience that no one in NY can agree on what 
the best pizza in town is.  --JMC

Two people who haven't confirmed but who posted something earlier, I think,
are Jim and Sarah.  I guess if they don't say they are definitely coming, we
should assumr they aren't

I'm fine with any place you all decide for lunch.

Pizza sounds good, especially if it's New York style pizza, which
pretty much doesn't exist here in the Midwest. 

Is there a particular place in Grand Central where we could meet?  I'm
not familiar with Grand Central, but I'm assuming it's big and it may
be hard to find each other if we don't narrow the location down some.

I think Jenny suggested the main concourse near the

last time I was over, and it was fairly easy to find.

Perhaps someone knows another landmark in the station,
near the Info booth, just to help pin it down?

You can't miss it.  It's in the middle of the GCS
concourse, a round (or maybe it's octagonal or such)
information booth with a small clock on top.  If by
chance you can't find it, just tell a native that
you're supposed to meet someone under the clock at the
information desk, and after lifting your wallet, he'll
tell you exactly where it is.  It's where everyone
meets.

So she did!  I someone how managed to miss that.  This sounds fine.

I'm leaving for NYC tomorrow morning, and I'm not certain that I'll
have web access tonight. So, if there's a change in plans, will
someone please call me on my cell phone?  The number is 734-834-2400.

Hello all -

I made reservations for 12 people at Totonno's at 2pm Saturday (and 
again, Totonno's is on 2nd Avenue between 80th and 81st Streets).  I 
said 2pm because I wanted to allow time for all of us to meet up and 
get the subway uptown. It's a five block walk (which is not much for 
us New Yorkers) if we catch the 6 to 77th.  

If anyone else comes up with a super-duper can't-turn-it-down plan, 
speak now or meet us on Saturday!

OK, but if it's snowing, I'm planting myself in the pizza place 
closest to the subway and waiting until you guys send a dogsled for 
me.  Actually, if it keeps snowing the way it is right now, I may not 
make it up to NY tomorrow.  But, assuming Amtrak is running, I will 
be in NY as of tomorrow afternoon.  I may not have email access, 
depending on where I stay, but a couple of you have my cell phone #, 
so you can call me in case of whatever. Also, I got an email from Jim 
today and he is planning on coming, too, although both he and one of 
his daughters is sick so he may not be able to make it. -- Joywitch

No major snow expected here but a few flurries later in the day.  DC

I want to thank all of the HHFGU-New Yorkers for a great time on
Saturday the 1st, especially for the kindness and patience you all
showed my daughters.  They had a great time they'll remember for a
long while, and I couldn't have come without all of you indulging me.

I had a great time too - the pasta at Toronno's is very good, and
soemday I hope to con someone into splitting one of those cheese-free
pizzas with me. DT-UT was great, especially when it comes to making
s'mores over a mysterious looking Potions-like fire.

Best of all was the company, even though because of an ear infection I
felt like I was deaf as a post.  I think you're all great, and I fell
sure I'll come to every meeting I can.

I've posted photos up in the Photos section, and I'll have more, so
enjoy and thanks again,

I thought the s'mores at DTUTs were fun, but I daren't have eaten 
more than one for fear of going crazy on the sugar and knocking over 
the goblet of fire.  It's just as well that Jim's daughters were 
there to cremate the marshmallows with such expertise.

I managed to leave New York in the midst of a snowstorm, but made it

Subject: The end for Harry Potter?
Message-ID: <b86ukr+edf6@...>

>From the Manchester Evening Standard (online edition), 17th April 2003

"Sources close to the author (JKR) say that the latest instalment in 
the Harry Potter series was such an ordeal for the author that it 
almost didn't make it the publishers at all.  The standard set by the 
previous books, both in quality of writing and book sales have 
brought such high expectations for the next instalment that she 
almost folded under the pressure.  There have even been mutterings 
that the book that follows Order of the Phoenix will be the last.  

There is nothing in the present day world of children's literature 
that comes close to the Harry Potter series, though many have tried.  
There have been numerous tales of witches and wizards in recent 
times, but all have fallen by the wayside.  The Artemis Fowl series 
by Eoin Colfer and His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman have 
shown some success, as has the Julie Trent series by Laura Emmet.  
Emmet's books have reported exceptionally fast initial sales, and the 
reviews have been encouraging.  Even if all the sales from these 
three authors (Colfer, Pullman and Emmet) are put together, they 
still fall well short of the sales for even one of the Potter books.  
If Harry Potter is coming to an end then there will be an enormous 
void left which will not easily be filled."

Subject: Anyone going to the Science of Harry Potter Panel Discussion?
Message-ID: <b9goj1+k77e@...>

Hi everyone! I'm new to the list :) My name is Shar (short for 
Sharlene) and I'm 21 years old. I live in Brooklyn and I am a part of 
the regular HPFGU list, but I got the link to this one from another 
group I'm a part of (NYC Roswell Fans). Anyway, this is a bit last 
minute, but I figure if you're in the city or can get there by 3:30, 
see if you can make it! It should be fun. I'll be there with a friend 
of mine.

--------------------

Here's all the information that you'll need to get a ticket and find 
the venue, including trains to get there (if you don't know).

Panel Discussion: The Science of Harry Potter
Description: Join award-winning Harry Potter animator (and creator of 
Dobby) David Andrews and The Science of Harry Potter author Roger 
Highfield for a look at how science, technology and standard muggle 
physics becomes practical movie magic onscreen.
Length: 90 min. 
Price: $20.00
Location: The Tribeca Performing Arts Center @ 199 Chambers Street 
(between Greenwich St & the West Side Highway)

You can buy your at The Box Office, which is located at 387 
Greenwich Street (between N. Moore Street & Beach Street). You may 
also be able to get them at the door, but check online first and when 
you order a ticket, see if it says DOOR. If it does, I believe you'll 
be able to pay for a ticket at the door.

I would go to Mapquest and put in the location of the venue and then 
add the box office location to it, so you can see both on the little 
map, print it out and have that for reference if you don't know the 
area too well.

The closest train to both locations is the 2. For the venue though, 
you can take the 1,2,3 or 9 to Chambers Street. Only the 2 to 
Franklin Street goes closest to the Box Office. You can also take the 
N or R to City Hall and walk up, as well as the 4,5,6,J,M or Z to the 
Brooklyn Bridge stop and walk some more :D The A & C go to Chambers 
Street (& Church Street), the E goes to the World Trade Center.

I'll probably buy my ticket online, as it'll save the hassle of 
having to go to the box office. I also figured we'd just meet up at 
the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, maybe grab a cheapie bite to eat 
afterwards for whoever's hungry after that.

Aw man I wish I would have seen this yesterday I would have gone.  I work right around there!  Then again I get out of work at 5pm, so I probably wouldn't have been able to make it.  :(  

Please tell us how it went!

Hiya :)

Welp, Friday has come and gone. It's hard to remember everything that 
was talked about because there were so many interesting things.

The author of "The Science of HP", Roger Highfield was there, as well 
as the animator, David Andrews, who created Dobby for the movie. It 
was pretty cool. 

The whole thing was about how some of the ideas in HP are derived or 
can be explained by our muggle science & technology. They showed that 
levitation is actually possible. That was really cool to know! They 
showed a person levitating some little metal thing between their 
fingers and then showed a slide that has a frog levitating. Mr. 
Highfield had said "For all your Potter-Maniacs out there, that 
unforunately was not Neville's toad." Hehe. And that there is a 
Japanese scientist who has created an invisibility cloak (I already 
knew this though). It's a prototype, but you can see right through 
the guy wearing the cloak. 

When David Andrews came up for his little presentation, we got to see 
how he created Dobby and how they put that into the film. We got to 
see the voice actor for Dobby, Toby Jones, doing the recording for 
the movie. That was hysterical. And we also go to see footage of Dan 
acting with the orange ball he kept mentioning in interviews. The 
whole thing was really fantastic.

That's about it! :) Maybe there'll be another gathering soon that I 
can attend, since it seems I just missed the last one! Is anyone here 
from Brooklyn?

Well it was in a slide, but with the little metal thing levitating 
between the person's fingers, is called diamagnetically stabilized 
levitation. You can find more info about it here: 
http://www.hfml.kun.nl/fingertip.html

There was also a gadget mentioned called a Levitron 
(http://www.geocities.com/dsligar.geo/levitron.html) that levitates 
because its spinning.

And here's a link to the frog levitating and how its done:

I will be in the U.K. on the actual release date.  But I was 
wondering if people are planning a get-together for after they've 
read the book.

I noticed there isn't any real activity at the HPfGU "meetup"  and if 
people have any kind of regular meets in NYC.  I know a couple of 
people who would be interested, but haven't seen anything formal 
organised by anyone else.

Well my cousin planned out June 20th for us.  Being that my other cousin's (his brother) birthday is on June 20th and it's the opening of Hulk: The Movie, we're going to see the Hulk at around 9 something, either around 66th St. or 84th St. and go to either Streets BN afterwards to grab our copies.  This is all in the city.

Hey, everyone.

aww - too bad, Kim, that you're out of town.  Come in
spirit?

I'm actually lucky, I'll be at the Dixie Chicks
concert that night (I'm taking my sisters as their
birthday presents...how nice (and broke!) am I?), so
I'll have plenty to distract me, though I think I'll
be bouncing out of my seat the whole time.  
Following that, I was hoping to meet up with a few
people at the Scholastic store -- I'll be wearing my
Pride of Portree sweatshirt, and most likely be
accompanied by other oddly costumed people.  =)  Feel
free to join us.  The more the merrier!

Abbie, who is afraid that the 21st will never come,
and plans to spend the 22nd with her nose in a book.

I just found out about Toys-R-US's special event for Harry Potter. I 
have to call in the morning to find out all the details. Such as 
what time to line up and stuff like that. But I did get some info 
off their website. After I do the meet up organized by Leaky 
Cauldron and other HP fan sites. I'm probably gonna head over there. 
Here is the info they have listed on their website.

"Attention all Muggles! Join us for an exciting midnight madness 
event celebrating the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the 
Phoenix. Dress as your favorite Harry Potter character, win prizes, 
test your knowledge and be among the first to buy the fifth 
installment of the Harry Potter series. GRAMMY? award-winning 
narrator Jim Dale will be on-hand to read excerpts from the new 
book. Guests who purchase the new book will receive a limited-
edition commemorative poster signed by Harry Potter illustrator Mary 
GrandPr?. Join us on Friday, June 20 as we count down to the 
midnight opening!" 

Once I get the rest of the info I'll be sure to post it for 
everyone. And Heidi if you're reading this I will make sure to email 
all the info to MUARI when I get it. 

P.S. And yes The Leaky Cauldron is the best HP news site around.

I heard about the Toys-R-Us Special Event. It should be cool because 
they're going to do a countdown like at New Years..LOL. But, I can 
only imagine the gigantic crowd that'll be there in addition to all 
the tourists that are at Times Square at that time, so I'm going to 
head there after I go to another event.

The one I'm going to first is the Books of Wonder event. If you go 
to: http://www.booksofwonder.net/nyc/events.jsp?
eisid=1055188166484&segment_id=nyc&segment_seq=186605&event=12, you 
can find out more info on that event. 

Wherever anyone goes though, it's sure to be a really fun night :)

Hi all...I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a Harry Potter fan 
group in the New York area that might be meeting in the next couple 
of weeks.  I'm a researcher for NBC nightly news, and we were hoping 
to find a fan club in the new york area who might be willing to be 
part of a story were doing on the new Harry Potter book!   

Please let me know if you have any leads,

Hi, Mike -

This list is a part of Harry Potter for Grownups, which is about as 
big as a fan club can get.  If you are looking to speak to adult fans, 
you have found the right place.  The NY list of HPFGU has had a few 
meetups, but we do not meet regularly.  I know that people here are 
trying to organize plans for the OoP release, but I think people will 
be meeting all over the city.

I'm happy to discuss HPFGU more with you individually, as I've been a 
member for about 2 1/2 years.  My email address is meboriqua at ..., 
if you have any more specific questions.  Are you really from NBC, 
btw?

You could also try http://orderphoenix.meetup.com/ 
Both are being organized by a few Harry Potter websites. Not many 
people have signed up for the read in, but close to 60 have signed 
up for the meet up which will take place at 6 pm on June 20th.

Actually - this is a fan group in it's own way - or rather a group of fans? 
*I guess it depends on your definition of a fan group :)*

We've had a HPFGU-NY meet up back in March *can't recall at the moment the 
exact date but it was fun* in the NYC area...

Am sure if you give some dates or want a meet up of some sort - a bunch of us 
here are from the NYC area and would probably be happy for a meet up sometime 
depending on the specifics ^_^ or you can give the link Melissa linked to a 
try - though I don't think many had signed up for it as of yet *I did though, 
but still don't know what I'm doing that Saturday* as well as what Shinesse 
suggested


Good luck with it,
~Sabs

There's also a New York-based HP group on the LiveJournal weblogging
community: http://www.livejournal.com/community/hp_newyork.  It's
admittedly been fairly quiet recently, but it has a fairly broad core of
older fans that I'm sure would be happy to help you out.

Otherwise, I'm inclined to agree with Sabs about just arranging
something.  Since there are so many fans going to so many different
bookstores next Friday night, there isn't really any one preplanned core
of people in the city.

Where is everyone going to be for the big release this coming week?  
Although I've pre-ordered the book from Barnes & Nobles, I'm thinking 
of checking out the local store on Friday night to see the 
festivities.

How about everyone else?

Me:
Well I'll be going to a meet up set up by muari.org around 6 then 
I'll probably be going to Times Square for the party at Toys R Us. I 
know it will probably be very crazy but I'm really excited. I didn't 
go to any parties for GoF so I want to go to something big.

Would anyone like to get together to discuss the book?  I've been 
lucky enough to finish and would love to have a good old chin-wag 
about it with anyone in NYC.

We could combine it with seeing the fireworks on 7/4, or maybe 
sometime this coming weekend...  On 7/4 I'm going out to Roosevelt 
Island to see the fireworks and that is a perfect place to relax for 
a few hours before the show and talk.

When and where?  Anyone game?

I think a HP get together to pick apart the book is a great idea... the only 
problem with a firework show is there usually so crowded its hard to find 
people.  And there in the dark, which makes consulting a book sorta hard.  There's 
always flashlights tho.

If you've never done the Roosevelt Island thing, it's great.  You have to
get advance tickets (this can be done on line) and we can set a meeting spot
on the island.  It's best to pick up the tickets around 6pm, and then you
head down to the reserved spot at the end of Roosevelt Island.  It's in the
middle of the river and affords a great view of the fireworks.

Since the fireworks themselves don't start till about 9:30pm and it's light
until about 8:45, there'd be plenty of time to talk and light to reference
the book before the fireworks start.  To be sure that late comers can find
us, someone would bring a ballon of a particular color or something like
that.

So far I've only heard from three people about a potential meet up this
weekend to discuss the book.  It looks like Sunday at either 2 or 6 pm is
the best for these people.

Anyone else want to join us?....

I won't be doing a separate one this weekend.
