Missing out on some of the magic
I was most disappointed to not find any mention of the Harry Potter release celebration held by the Tattered Cover on Colfax in the July 21 paper.
The story (“Night of magic,” July 21) instead featured a rather too detailed account of a Boulder family’s evening and photos only from the Boulder Bookstore and the Highlands Ranch Tattered Cover.
It is too bad the media in this city still fears Colfax after dark; they missed out on quite a party, a collaborative effort between Tattered Cover and Twist & Shout, where a great time was honestly had by all.
The Rocky also missed out on some very promising interviews: half of the East High School Class of 2007 seemed to be gathered on Colfax that night.
Being a member of that class, I can say that my peers and I grew up with Harry Potter. We were the first era of children to discover and enjoy the books. Most of us picked up our first copy of Harry’s adventures when we were 9 or 10 years old, and we have been hooked ever since. Some of us read them in school, others on our own — racing through them as quickly as possible to be the first to find out how the story would end.
It would be nice if the Rocky would consider representing more perspectives, particularly those coming from the heart of Denver rather than the suburban regions.
