College Confidential – Cornell Loves Hogwarts

Article by apost

November 14, 2010 at 6:38 pm

Harry Potter tickets went on sale yesterday for the midnight showing of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 this Thursday at Cornell.

Tickets sold out faster than Kid Cudi. Students were lined up outside
of the theatre for days. They set-up camp in tents, dressed up in their
costumes and on Sunday the regular quidditch match that usually takes
place on the Arts quad was post-poned.

Although Cornell Men’s Hockey tickets no longer have an overnight camp
out for tickets, students can get their fix again come summer for the
release of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2.
