Henna for Harry Potter release event in Falmouth (Cape Cod)
This is going to be sooooo much fun!!!
Main St. in Falmouth becomes Daigon Alley ALL DAY tomorrow.
Parade @ 4:30, other stuff all the way through midnight or even 1am
(and yes, I will be there largely to do henna...)
---------------
On Friday, July 20,in the hours leading up to the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,the seventh and final book of the series, Falmouth Village (from Queens Buyway to Peg Noonan Park) will become Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.
Diagon Alley is the shopping area where Harry and his friends purchase their wizarding supplies: winds, owls, books, newts, robes, potion supplies, brooms, sweet and anything else they could possible need. Hogsmeade is the only all-wizarding village in Britain and the source of many adventures for students at Hogwarts.
Many stores in Falmouth will - for the day - rename themselves as stores in Hogsmeade, such as Winky’s Kitchen, Honeydukes Sweet Shop , Tickle & Flash , Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes, The Flying Catywampous , Mr. Bobbins’ House of Jiggerypokery, The Leaky Cauldron and many, many more – each offering clues, magical merchandise, foods, and special offers.
WATCH FOR THEIR SPECIAL SIGNS. EIGHT COUSINS WILL BECOME FLOURISH AND BLOTTS!
-------------------------------
There will be a used sock drive at the Transfiguration Classroom (Artie's Cafe) to benefit SPEW. And anyone who comes in costume will get a 20% discount Friday evening at Leary Family Amusements.
_______________________________________________
About 4 p.m. Costume Parade, from Queens Buyway area to Peg Noonan Park, where the first Marauders Maps will be handed out. Photographers will be snapping costumes from 4 to 11:30, and posting the snapshots on a computer in a business window. Judges from Real Bodies and Buyway Boutique will announce winners the following day on www.eightcousins.com.
5:00 - 8:00 Quidditch on the Village Green, BYOB (Bring Your Own Broom). Still in development. 15-minute innings, each open to new players. Scored goals will add to running totals for the four Hogwarts houses, and be posted at Eight Cousins and on the www.eightcousins.com the following day.
4:30 - 11:30 Treasure Hunt, using Marauders Maps to collect clues to work out a Harry Potter puzzle and collect a prize while supplies last. Clues are at each of 40+ participating businesses.
6:00 - 9:00 O.W.L. Testing: See what kind of Hogwarts student you are, by checking your Harry Potter Trivia knowledge, at testing points in several participating businesses. You will receive a Report Card with grades, so study up!
8:00-10:00 Compete for your Hogwarts house, based on your knowledge of Harry Potter vocabulary (see the Pottersaurus!) at Eight Cousins.
9:00 - 11:30 Investigate the Horcruxes. Fifteen detailed questions about the final outcome of the story will be posted at points all through the party area. Pick up a score card and see how your predictions match those of Eight Cousins. Then see what happens in the book, and score yourself when you finish reading it. Bring your finished score card in and receive a prize – and our congratulations!
And at Midnight, the back door opens at Flourish and Blotts (Eight Cousins) revealing ....
