Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Articles Page 18

More than 300 Harry Potter fans formed a massive flash mob or 'Muggle Mob' today, taking over Broadway in front of the Scholastic headquarters building in New York City, just 10 days before the highly anticipated release of the eighth Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two. The fans, all Scholastic employees and their children, flooded onto the street reading from a favorite Harry Potter book and stopping traffic in the busy SoHo area. At the culmination of the estimated two-and-a-half minute event, the fans lowered their books and raised up paddles showing the cover of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two, drawing cheers throughout the neighborhood. As the crowd dispersed, 'Muggle Mob' participants handed out their Harry Potter books from the Harry Potter series 1-7 to lucky passersby, sharing the gift of books and reading. Scholastic released photos and video footage from the flash mob which can be found: http://mediaroom.scholastic.com/press-release/flash-mob-harry-potter-fans-muggle-mob-stops-traffic-scholastic-headquarters-new-york-.
