Borders is celebrating the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" with free "Grand Hallows Ball" events the evening of Friday, July 20. Beginning at 9:30 pm, the "Grand Hallows Ball" will transport guests from their ordinary muggle world into an evening of enchanting music, imaginative costumers, fun activities, and fabulous prizes. Harry Potter fans will leave the Ball with original and unique souvenirs commemorating this special evening.

Our store will introduce a headmistress or headmaster of ceremonies to host the evening's schedule of events and encourage guests to participate in - among other activities - The Potter Spelling Bee, the Great Snape Debate, and the crowning of a king and queen of the Ball. In addition, a wide range of prizes will be given out throughout the evening, including a signed limited edition poster of the book's cover art. Join is for an evening of festivities before the book goes on sale at 12:01am! Join us!
