The Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops in Wisconsin are also hosting midnight Harry Potter Parties. The stores in Mequon, Brookfield, Shorewood and Racine will be open at 11 p.m. with games and prizes planned. We will start selling the book at 12:01 a.m. The bookstores are open again the next morning at 6 a.m.

I work at the Mequon location and we have a special treat. Mark Metcalf (Sienfeld, Animal House) will be coming in to read the book aloud starting at midnight, and he will be back the next day at 10.

We have been joking that we are changing our name from Harry W. Schwartz Bookshop to
"Harry Potter Bookshop"!! The excitement has been amazing and from what I can tell has spanned all ages. We already have over 600 people who have reserved the book!!
