Reminder for Bookstores on How to Make a Better Harry Potter Release Party

A public service coming up. For you. The public. Especially those of the "I'm staying up until midnight to get my hands on Deathly Hallows" variety.

We here at the Bain Books Blog would like to remind those who are in control of such things (bookstores, for instance), that we published a treatise-ish list of ways (12 of them in the list) on how to make a better Harry Potter Midnight Release Party, helpfully titled How to Make a Better Harry Potter Midnight Release Party / A Twelve-Step Guide (Hopefully Helpful for the Release of HP7). We believe there is still time to make necessary modifications to your party, assuming you are having one.

You are having one, aren't you?

A sample:

3. Discourage people from dressing up as dementors. And if there are going to be people dressed as dementors, encourage all dementor dressers to stay the hell away from the children (at least my children, dammit) or stay away from anybody who appears to want dementors to stay the hell away from them (even older children seemed to want a few of the dementors to get lost, but they were persistent little buggers who did not seem to respond appropriately to the patronus charm). The last thing I need is a kid who won't go to sleep until 2 because he's thinking about whether or not the coat hanging from his bedpost is actually a dementor. Furthermore, if the dementors are employed by the place wherein the party is to be held, make them cartoonish for crying out loud. Everyone else dressed up is cartoonish. Once or twice I found myself asking if I was looking at a wizard or a Smurf. But the dementors were frightening even to me. Isn't this supposed to be fun?

I'm guessing this list will either be heavily used by bookstores everywhere, or it will be entirely ignored.

Likely the latter

So be it.
