Even fashionable Soho was not immune from Harry Potter mania! The day of the final book release, Scholastic hosted an event for wizards and magic on an entire block of Mercer Street. I couldn’t resist walking through to see all the fans who came out for an sneak preview of some of the book, only hours before it was available for purchase. Personally, I have greatly enjoyed the creativity and cleverness shown in the movies, but I have yet to read any of the books. According to all these people, I’m missing out!

The block of Mercer, between Prince and Spring, was renamed “Harry Potter Place” in honor of the new and final book release.
