del.icio.usThe students of Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft will be the only teens in the room at Word bookstore on July 20. While the shop is having a party to celebrate the release of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the final book in the popular series, no kiddie conjurers will be allowed.
“It’s really the adults who are reading ‘Harry Potter,’” Word owner Christine Onorati told GO Brooklyn. While kids usually swarm her store, Onorati is hoping to give the expected 100 grown-ups a place to drink from her cauldron without having to dodge mini-Voldemorts under foot.
Adult fans like Judy Nylen, 65, of Sunset Park, are glad to have the chance to mingle and enjoy themselves outside of the all-ages events at other area stores.
“Every year at Halloween I have my own ‘Harry Potter’ party for adults,” she said. “I’m just obsessed with it.”
The Word party will take place at 11 pm on July 20 at Word (126 Franklin St. at Milton Street in Greenpoint). Admission is free. For information, call (718) 383-0096.
