Half-Day of Harry Potter

Fans began their goodbye to eight-part Harry Potter film series with help from Marcus Theatre and its 12-hour marathon of the previous films.

Some diehard fans began their goodbye to the famous wizard a few hours earlier than the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II—with a 12-hour tribute.

The sold 40 tickets of their special viewing of the previous movies run in a row leading up to the premier. Passionate fans, and those who wanted a chance to catch up on what they'd missed, were a part of those 40 who are braving the half-day of nonstop Harry Potter.
