I had a blast photographing the Harry Potter Midnight Magic Party at the Barnes & Noble in Nashua, New Hampshire! I can’t believe how many people were there. They had activities for everyone from face painting to potion making to character look alike contests and everyone was having so much fun. They also had actors playing the characters from the books and they were absolutely amazing….kids were running around getting their autographs and the store did an amazing job with the logistical aspects, everything ran like clockwork. Around 10 pm they closed the store to everyone except the first 250 people in line and then we waited until the stroke of midnight. I wish I could have gotten a picture of everyone in the parking lot (which was closed to cars), but it was too dark, obviously its midnight! There were at least 1,500 people out there!!
Gilderoy Lockhart…if I remember correctly Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall are behind his cape. 
T-shirts commemorating Harry Potter! Everyone was sad that this is the last book.
Gilderoy Lockhart covering up Harry Potter’s face. Lockhart was true to form and trying to get all the attention:)
