The magic of Harry Potter hits Leesburg
|
The streets of Leesburg were alive the night of June 14 with the magic of Harry Potter fans eagerly awaiting the final segment of the Potter films to be released. At the Tally Ho Theater in Historic Downtown Leesburg, more than 175 tickets were sold out by Tuesday, June 12 for the double feature of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and II. Fans were dressed up and even Hagrid made an appearance. Tally Ho offered prizes to movie-goers including official movie posters, box sets of the released DVD’s and free small bag of popcorn for anyone who dressed up for the premiere. Rachel East, 22, of Leesburg waited in line for over two hours to be the first one in line to see the premiere. “I started reading them when I was eleven, so twelve years of reading something it’s worth it,” East said.
