All the pillars on the St Patrick subway platform have been wrapped in Harry Potter pics or brick laminate in honour of last night's Canadian premiere of the new HP film just down the street. Lots of people were having their pics taken next to giant images of the wizard so the ad campaign seems to be a success!
Taking part in Signs, Signs. For more signs click here.
I have never read the books, but I did watch one movie a few years ago. I guess the kids like it.
ReplyDeletedid you have to shoo people away? I never got into the books past the first one, so I think I'll give this ending a miss.
ReplyDeleteI see Harry is northbound and Voldemort I'm guessing is southbound?
ReplyDeleteHappy you were able to snap this with no one around! It's all over the radio and TV here. So, looks like it's going to be another mega-success. Have a nice evening RedPat.
ReplyDeleteGreat Signs, Signs post... timely!
I guess the excitement has begun! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the first two books, but the others are excellent!
ReplyDeleteWith the filmes I had the opposite feeling, the first and second are my favourites!
It's cool to see these signs on the subway platform (to Hogwarts?)! ;-)
there was a Manila premiere, too, last night, i think.:p will be watching this for sure with my cousins.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan but with the release coming this week the excitement is out there.
ReplyDeleteOne advantage to living in a small town - no Harry Potter ads!!
ReplyDeleteThough it does make a nice photo topic Red.
you are so current!
ReplyDelete(and another view of a subway station!)
How festive....I bet New York was all dolled up for the occasion, too. I still cannot believe the actors are in their 20’s. How time flies. Genie
ReplyDeleteCool shot, and the fact that it's taken at the subway, even better!
ReplyDeleteThere is lots of events celebrating this latest.
ReplyDeleteApparently it's all the buzz in Australia as well. My partner and 4 of her friends have pre-booked tickets for a viewing in Melbourne this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a pretty appealing kind of publicity. I don't detect the same high level of mania around the newest Potter movie, but it will make staggering amounts of money regardless. What a franchise!
ReplyDeleteI like this better than billboards.
ReplyDeleteVery cool shot! I'm a big HP fan and can't wait to see this last installment. Apparently my forty-year-od son and I will always be kids at heart...LOL!
ReplyDeleteNow that spiffs up a Metro for sure! :)

It certainly is a big deal all over the world, I couldn't bring myself to read the books , but have enjoyed the movies with my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI know people - kids and adults alike - who were HP crazy, but I am not one of them. Neither read a book nor saw a movie. Still, it's impossible for any aware person not to know the general story and the characters. It's been decades since I was in a TO subway... looks well kept, even if I am not a big fan of big billboards either. And no, I'm not a grump! :-D Good post for Signs!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, another Harry Potter post like mine! I love it!
ReplyDeleteha, bigger is better, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI like how these columns are sloped. They are huge though. Is this station miles underground?
I expect the rest of the summer to be a lot of Potter-ville.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't seen the second-to-last movie. Need to rent it fast!
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter fever seems to be everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThe top shot is brilliant.
