Follow-Up on the Party at Waterstones Piccadilly

by Emerson Spartz · June 21, 2003

There are simply no words to describe how amazing it was last night in London at Waterstones bookshop on Piccadilly. The atmosphere was full of energy and excitement, and we got loads of pictures and videos, which we’ll be uploading as soon as we get the chance. Jamie was taping, Morgoth was taking pictures, and I was… there.

I’m not sure exactly how many people were there, but the line stretched farther than the eye could see. We have footage of what I believe is the first-ever Harry Potter wave, started (and encouraged) by yours truly and filmed, of course, by Jamie and Matt. So when we upload it, you’ll get to see me jumping and running around like a maniac encouraging everybody to do it.

Here is an article on the BBC website about the party at Waterstones.

Shout-out to everyone who was brave enough to stop by and chat with us!
