A Harry Potter event? What year is this?

Normal (cough boring cough) Muggles may think that tonight’s to-do at Wordsmiths Books indicates a refusal to accept that the Harry Potter saga is over.

But true fans will greet tonight’s “Wizard Night” with a geekish glee that will resonate throughout the Wizarding World.

Is it an anniversary? No. Just an excuse to pull out that old costume, paste on a lightning bolt scar and party like it’s 2007.

Wordsmiths, which is on the square in Decatur, will kick off Wizard Night with a screening of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the first movie, at 5:30 p.m. Then at 8 p.m., the Potter-themed rock group Accio Bodyguard performs.

So if you’re still wanting to debate whether Snape got the death scene he derserved, but everyone else you know has moved on to talking about “Iron Man,” you know where you need to be tonight.
