HBPIMAX, Azkatraz-Style
In case you hadn't heard:
Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that it has moved back the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to Summer 2009. The sixth installment of the blockbuster Harry Potter franchise will now open day-and-date domestically and in the major international markets on July 17, 2009. The announcement was made by Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer, Warner Bros.
We have already reserved a movie theater within walking distance of the Parc55 Hotel.
The IMAX nearest the hotel will not know until early next year whether they will have the film in IMAX or on regular-sized screens, but we have reserved an entire theater for the showing at 00:00:01 on July 17, 2009! We are also working to schedule at least one additional showing over the weekend, and perhaps one on Tuesday as well, depending on attendee interest.
Tickets will be available when our registration system goes live in the beginning of next month, and we will have more info about cosplaying, music, and other movie-showing events at Azkatraz shortly.

HP Education Fanon, Inc is thrilled to announce our hotel and location information for AZKATRAZ, scheduled to take place from July 18 - 21, 2009 in San Francisco, California.
AZKATRAZ will take place at the Parc55 Hotel, located at 55 Cyril Magnin Street in downtown San Francisco, only blocks from the Moscone Center, ZEUM, Union Square and Mint Park. We have obtained a rate of $165 plus tax per night, for up to four people in a room. In other words, there's no extra-person charge for the third and fourth person in the room.
