I admit it. Ever since reading the first one, we’ve preordered the others and stood in line with a bunch of kids a third of our age to get it. And while some of the movies have been better than others, we usually stand in line at the Uptown for the opening night festivities at each release. So you can imagine my excitement when I found out that AFI is running a Harry Potter Marathon all next week. All this, leading up to the big release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at midnight on Friday, July 20. I might even take Friday off just to sit in the big theater at AFI and watch all 4 movies back-to-back.

Diagon Alley

If you don’t know it already, that evening will also see Ellsworth Drive turned into Diagon Alley, complete with the school supply and book store Flourish & Blotts (Borders), Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor (Ben & Jerry’s), and my personal favorite, The Leaky Cauldron (McGinty’s).

My question is this: what would be wizarding-speak for an Irish Car Bomb?
