Harry Potter Mania has hit Hays in full force.

Fans of the Harry Potter series began camping outside of the Showplex Cinemas early Thursday afternoon in anticipation of the franchise’s final installment, which premiers at midnight in both 2-D and 3-D.

Harry Potter fans Brett Chrisler, Alex Becker, Laura Brown, Bailee Chrisler, Dylan Lang, and Colby Schippers bought their tickets and brought a tent, chairs, cooler, and cooling pool as they camped out all day in the relentless heat in order to get the best seats in the house once the doors open.
