Harry Potter Spells Success

  • Giving

Not even Lord Voldemort could have kept away the fans who turned out for the advance screening of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" on Nov. 13, 2005, on the Warner Bros. studio lot.

The 500-seat Steven J. Ross Theatre was packed with Harry Potter enthusiasts of all ages, some who even donned "magical" attire, to welcome the fourth release in the popular witchcraft series featuring the world's favorite wizard-in-training.

Guests were treated to a reception following the movie, which included a tour of the Warner Bros. Museum to examine Harry Potter costumes and a photo opportunity with the Sorting Hat.

The benefit raised more than $100,000 to help fund USC School of Social Work scholarships. Special thanks to Wendy Smith Meyer, Barry Meyer and Warner Bros. for making the event possible.
