Harry Potter midnight opening

Fans waiting for the doors to open at Penn Centre Theater for the premier of the new Harry Potter Movie November 18th, 2010

Harry Potter And The Deadly Hallows Pt 1 started last night at Oskaloosa’s Penn Centre Theater to a nearly packed house of devoted fans. The 12:01 am show drew a line starting around 6 pm until the doors were opened at 11:00 pm.

Harry Potter came close to selling out, with only a few seats left. Only recently has the Twilight series done better by selling out completely for the midnight showing.

Theater owner Than Mott on the Harry Potter movie. “It should do well for us for the next few weeks” History should prove that correct with the series being one of the most financially successful movies in recent history.

The fans outside were excited, and told me so many times over when asked about their chance to view the new movie. A fan said he was bummed as this is part 1, and he will have to wait until next July in order for the next part to arrive.
