Grayshott Books opened at midnight on Saturday 21 July to allow Harry Potter Fans to collect their copies of the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
By the time the doors opened at a minute past midnight, the queue stretched across The Square in Grayshott. Some had even turned up in fancy dress in honour of the special occasion. Julie Stevens said "We are thrilled that so many people have turned up at midnight. It is a real party atmosphere!"
The bookshop opening had been preceded by a showing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by Movies in Grayshott at the village hall. The fancy dress theme was also in evidence at this event, which members of the audience donning wizards and witches costumes for the evening. The children's fancy dress competition was won by Matthew & Helena Marks with Vivien & Peter Harrison winning the adult categories.
