Wednesday, August 8 2007 - Posted by S_Underwood

The largest Harry Potter party in the U.S. took place near Portland's waterfront on July 20th, 2007. The twelve hour event attracted more than 6,000 enthusiastic HP fans and five Good Theater alums who donned costumes for this fund-raiser benefiting YOUTH & FAMILY OUTREACH. A replica of 'Diagon Alley' (the magical marketplace where wizards shop...) was recreated and characters from the Potter stories wandered among the 'Muggles' who were invited to venture within. Volunteering their time were actors Denise Poirier (Mrs. McGonagle), Steve Underwood (Dumbledore), Amy Roche (Umbridge), Cathy Counts (Umbridge), and Sean Demers (Snape).
