“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” scheduled to be released to the American public at midnight Friday morning, will be screened seven times in Harvard Square on Thursday evening as a result of an arrangement between AMC Theatres, Warner Bros., and a division of Harvard Human Resources called Outings and Innings.
Devorah S. Sperling, manager of Outings and Innings, has been organizing the Harry Potter pre-screenings since the release of the first movie “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” in 2001. This week’s screening will be the biggest one yet: Harvard booked four of the five auditoriums in the AMC Loews Harvard Square 5 theater on Church Street for a total of seven screenings in 2-D and 3-D.
The tickets went on sale on June 3 for $12 for the 2-D screenings and $15 for the 3-D screenings, but they didn’t last long. By June 9, all 1,658 tickets were sold out, Sperling said.
