While striped scarves and scars were commonplace, many fans, like Krista Kellner, arrived in full costume.
“At the last midnight premiere, I was just a generic Harry Potter wizard,” sagte Kellner, 19. “But this time, it’s an ode to Dobby,” she said, dressed as the house elf. “I wanted to come as Dobby because he is a lesser- known character, but plays a really big role.”
Kellner was joined Von her brother Tim, 21, and fellow Wheaton College students Cheyenne Denson, 18, and Bre McClurkin, 19. The group sagte they have read all the Harry Potter books, and attending the midnight release was a must-do.

Theater-goers passed the time Von playing cards and board games and rehashing moments from their Favorit Potter Bücher and movies. Neuqua Valley High School student Ally Grevenites sagte the atmosphere at a Potter release is fun and friendly.

MARNIE!
Marnie Piper
I first saw Halloweentown back in 2001 before Harry Potter hit the cinema theatres! Okay, I was very happy that Marnie is her own character and she is not the typical Mary Sue character.
Hermione Granger
Okay, I watched all of the Harry Potter series, and I have that Hermione is actually very much like Marnie, in terms of personality except that she Mehr of a book-worm. To whom I look up to, not to forget that their names rhyme!
If Harry Potter and Halloweentown were to be set in the same universe, it would be great to make a film about the characters together!
Hermione oder Marnie?
Who do Du like? If Du have anymore similarities between these 2 heroines, let me know!
HERMIONE!!
