Party with Potter, sleep on sheets painted with Daniel Radcliffe’s face, don round glasses for a Harry look-alike contest — there’s magic all around as the last spell is cast
In the year 2001, 11-year-old Aanchal Guha threw a huge tantrum and dragged her parents to PVR Anupam, Saket, one of the only two multiplexes in the city at the time. The first Harry Potter film had just hit the theatres in India, and Guha lost herself in the world of magic. Now, 10 years and seven Potter films later, she is still living the magic. On Friday, she will skip office to catch the “first day, first show” of the last Potter film — Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
In Patparganj, 33-year-old Chhaya Kapoor is throwing a Potter-theme party on Saturday for her eight-year-old son — though it is she who may be a bigger fan of the boy wizard. “I’m making a wand and costume for my son and his friends,” she says excitedly. “All the snacks will have funny names such as jelly slugs,” she adds. Across Delhi, even as huge crowds of Potter fans count the hours (and minutes) before the final film opens, it is also time to get under the skin of Pottermania.
