Pop Up Screens to Host Outdoor “Deathly Hallows – Part 2” Screening in London

Now, this sounds like a fun event for Harry Potter fans!

We’ve just received word that Pop Up Screens, an organization that hosts outdoor film screenings in London parks, will be screening Deathly Hallows – Part 2 at Coram’s Fields, Holborn, on August 18. Tickets are £10 and can be purchased here.

It really sounds like an awesome evening! There will be a fully stocked bar as well as popcorn and snacks available. Pop Up Screens’ founder, David Leydon, certainly makes it sound idyllic:

If you’ve never been to an outdoor cinema, you should; it’s a must try. I know it sounds like a bit of a sales pitch, but it really is the best way to watch a movie, as you’re in a park with your friends and hundreds of other people [who] love that movie as much as you do. And that real love for the movie creates a special atmosphere you won’t find at any multiplex.

Does anyone think they’ll make it to this event? Be sure to let us know what you think of it! You can check out other films Pop Up Screens will be featuring this summer in the press release below.

Pop Up Screens – The pioneers of alfresco cinema are back… and this time with burgers!

Picture the scene… sunny summer evening, cold beer in one hand, tasty burger in the other, your favorite classic movie on a big screen, surrounded by friends. Sounds like the stuff dreams are made of doesn’t it?

The pioneers of outdoor cinema, Pop Up Screens are back this summer to turn your movie dreams into reality, beaming all your favorite films directly into your local London parks. There’s something for everyone. If you’re after romance there’s The Notebook or Romeo and Juliette, if you fancy escaping with some fantasy you could try the Labyrinth, feeling up for some action go for Blade or if you’re just looking for a laugh The Hangover or Anchorman are the ones for you.

Throughout the summer, the supersize screen will visit some of the capital's best-loved parks, including Morden, Fulham, Blackheath, Hammersmith, Holborn and Greenwich, with screenings kicking off around 8.30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.popupscreens.co.uk for £10, or a weekender pass to see all three films at any one location will set you back £24, with a bumper Season Ticket available for only £75- that’s all 33 films for a little over £2 a movie.

As well as satisfying any cravings for cult classics, this year Pop Up Screens will also be serving up bespoke Pop Up Burgers. The full details are currently under wraps, but we can guarantee they’ll be tasty and include a pun or two!

It goes without saying there’ll also be a fully stocked bar and it just wouldn’t be cinema without popcorn (http://www.drumandkernelpopcorn.co.uk/) and sweets.

I've been making magic at MuggleNet since 2012, when I first joined the staff as a News intern. I've never wavered from the declaration in my childhood journal, circa October 2000: "I LOVE Harry Potter! If I clean my room, my mom says she'll make me a dinner a wizard would love!" Proud Gryffindor; don't hate.
