years, lonely Muggles can finally get another fix of Harry Potter
and his Hogwarts wizard school cohorts. The latest fantasy tome
by JK Rowling, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"
(Scholastic, $17.99), with illustrations by Mary GrandPre, will
go on sale at midnight on Friday, June 20.
Barnes & Noble [106 Court St. at State Street in Downtown
Brooklyn, (718) 246-4996] will have a midnight Magic party, beginning
at 11 pm, with entertainment courtesy of Justin the Magician.
