It was a magic-filled night for near 300 muggles who were the first to see the latest Harry Potter movie in Poway.
Some muggles (non-magical folk in the Potter world) started lining up at 9:30 p.m. Thursday for the midnight showing of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” at UltraStar Cinemas in the Poway Creekside center.
The movie is the first half of the seven-book series’ conclusion, which due to its length and complexity has been divided into two installments. The second will debut in July 2011.
