The Chateau Theatres Line Party invited fans of that other popular fantasy world to their December 18th party last night. These Ringers in Rochester, Minnesota got permission from the Chateau Theatre's management to pass out flyers, talk about the event they are planning, and share fannish excitement with Harry Potter fans.

Nine of the line were able to take part, some in costume and some wearing Fellowship t-shirts. While chatting with HP fans, they also created a neat collage and played with action figures and the Burger King toys from last year. We discovered the action figure Lurtz bow will shoot a little arrow for about 15 feet across the lobby. Also, the lobby is very noisy at times and one can hardly hear oneself singing "hey, ho, to the bottle I go...," helping us understand some of the logistics of running our trivia contest and costume contest on December 18th.

Line Party members passed out over 400 pocket-sized flyers to interested movie-goers -- the most common reaction was "Cool! I'll be there!"
