At the June 24 event, Barnes &
Noble stores across the country will set up a coloring station where participants will have the opportunity to color
various Harry Potter - themed materials including the 4
House Crests (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin) and a special Owl Post Postcard exclusive to Barnes &
Noble that they can send to friends to invite them to the Countdown to Midnight Party.
As with the music industry, what I suspect will end up happening is a consolidation of the
various houses into a few major players (with, most likely, Amazon, Barnes and
Noble, and Apple among them).
