* PoA Line-Parties in the U.S! - line-parties for the opening show of PoA

Summary:
With the fanbase for HP growing, fans from all over the US are hosting line-parties in major US cities for the opening show of PoA on June 4th! It's time to get your ticket, dress-up (only if you want to!), and join the party!

Article:


It's Time For A Party!

The Witching Hour, the people who brought the Nimbus 2003 HP convention to the US and who are bringing The Witching Hour (an academic HP symposium/convention) to Salem, Massachusetts on October 2005, are also hosting PoA line-parties in many major US cities for the opening show on June 4th!

What is a Line-Party?

A line-party is "groups of friends and strangers who share a fascination with Harry Potter and wish to get together in the line for the movie" as told by TWH website.

This will allow fans to wait in line hopefully together and open new opportunities for friendships and conversations and a whole lot of fun! :flowersmile:

The party generally begins a few hours before the showing and sometimes ends with another get-together later, but it really depends on which line-party you happen to be attending and what the host's plans are.

To find one near you, please visit:

PoA Line-Party Info

If you wish to join a line-party, all you need to do is email the host or hostess who's hosting the line-party you wish to attend and they will keep you updated.

In fact...

I'M throwing a party!

Oh yes, I am. :sorcerer:

I'm the host/hostess for the San Francisco-based line-party you see listed on the site.

The party will be held at The Metreon in downtown San Francisco. More information on the location can be found here:

The Metreon

Because the theater has not yet released the showing times, I can not say exactly when the party will begin (or end) as of yet, but I will be sure to update as soon as I know.

If you're in the area and you'd like to join my Line-Party, here's some information:

1) Advanced ticket purchase HIGHLY recommended if not required.

Because of the popularity of the show, tickets will be sold out if you try and buy them at the theater the day of the show.

If you happen to not be able to attend, you are more than welcome to join the party anyway since it's dedicated to all the HP fans out there! :sorcerer:

2) Email me at the address you see on the webpage.

PLEASE do not PM me!

3) SF is full of things to do, so if you're from out of town and want to visit around, I highly recommend doing so and in fact might organize an informal tour around the city the day after the showing for those who wish to stick around.

4) Costumes very much encouraged!

I myself will be decked out as Draco Malfoy, so... :sorcerer:

5) Bring your HP fangirl or fanboy in you and a good attitude!

There will be a lot of people there, so it's expected that there will be bits of chaos and duels and general HP mayhem going on.

So that's it!

I hope you find a line-party near you if you're interested and I hope you have a blast!

I will update this as more pertinent information becomes available.

The people who are hosting the line-parties I speak of are from a US-based organization, of course, but perhaps the UK has something similar? :sorcerer:

I'm sure the fanbase in the UK is just as enthusiastic or maybe even more so than here in the US so I wouldn't be surprised if they have such events floating about.

I heard of Accio 2005 and it sounds wonderful and so I find myself in your position -- living in the US and wanting to go to the con in the UK!

I plan on making it to The Witching Hour symposium/convention myself in the US October 2005.

It would be neat if there were such parties all around the world. :sorcerer:

Except the only problem is, I don't know what the other countries' policies are on such gatherings... ;;; I know that some probably would not even allow such a thing to happen to begin with. :/

I've been on that site many many times, but what exactly did they... copy?

The idea for Line-Parties? ;;; I've hosted and particpated in line parties for various other shows like The Matrix, LOTR, and Star Wars. :flowersmile:

The Witching Hour? It's a symposium, which I know there have been some LOTR-based cons in the US before, so that isn't new. But then again, the US has cons for almost anything and everything.

So I'm confused. ;;;

At this moment, unfortunately no. The list doesn't list a Line-Party that is already in effect for Puerto Rico.

The Line-Parties are hosted by people who live in certain areas (like me, I'm in the San Francisco Area) so there is no telling where a Line-Party might be held. So if someone from Puerto Rico wanted to start one, they could.

These particular line-parties have an affiliation with The Witching Hour, so the circumstance is slightly different for our parties. But there have been plenty of informal line-parties created by fans. All you need is to get some friends together and go see the movie on its opening night and have fun!

:flowersmile:

Actually, I heard that there's a London-based Line-Party being held as well as one for the Netherlands and for Melbourne, Australia, so apparently, there are international TWH hosted Line-Parties being held! :sorcerer:

As for you hosting a Line-Party yourself, you might be surprised how many people would be interested.

I suppose the main thing is this: If you wanted to host a Line-Party through TWH, you could (you would need to contact them first) and there are other international TWH-based Line-Parties being held as well!

That is really cool, me and my friends have spoken about going fancy dress but I have never heard of a line party before, I don't think there will be any by me but London always has something going on, I imagine it will be in Leicester Square if they do. Its a very good idea and for kids it would be magical for them, and adults too. :flowersmile:
