Here are the list of events. First, you could get a cup of "Smokin' Cocoa" which is basically a copy of hot chocolate with some mint additions. Then there is a coloring section, a "StoryBall" station where you create your own Harry potter adventure. Which basically boils down to sitting down in a group, passing a stuffed owl around, and whoever has the owl adds their element to the growing plot that the entire circle is creating. This results in a rather weak and quite gruesome stories that the seven year olds manage to concoct. You could also have your face painted, decorate a cookie? What? Yeah so this is what was going on up until 11, I spent the first half of the three hours, reading the Injustice comics. I finished volumes 1 and 2 of Year 2, then the first volume of Year 3. Then I just walked out, and went to Target to pick up graph paper for school. To kill some more time I ate at Cold Stone, having a "Love It" of their Rainbow Cookie Batter, a part of their "Handmade Batter Creations."

But I decided to return to B&N after finishing, where they were beginning the costume contest. I decided not to enter, since I didn't want my face to be videotaped. Then they announced the winners of their two contests. First for the Harry Potter cover prints, which I did not win, then for a Time Turner necklace, which I also did not win. But 11:30 managed to come around, and we began to assemble into our groups, where we would wait to purchase our books. The line was efficient, even if it stretched from the cash register all the way to the Kids section, crossing more than the distance of walking straight from the door to the Children's section. But I got my book, and my goodness, it's good! Review coming up shortly, if you want a tease for what score I will give it, let me just say skiff the 9.2 off, it's higher than that.
But there were plenty of goodies to get your hands on. First there were Cursed Child bookmarks, Harry Potter posters, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tattoos. We also got two coupons to use that night, which I used on a Comic-Con exclusive Next Scamander Funko Pop, and 20% off the book.
