Chapter 174: Special Show
....
In England - a theatre in London.
One the day of [Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone] release.
....
As the film hit theatres all over the world - specifically the theater in London was filled with kids outnumbered the adults two-to-one.
There were maybe forty, maybe even fifty children in the seats, not counting the half-dozen still fumbling with the cup holders or spinning in the aisle until one of the assistants gave them a soft nudge to sit down.
Overall the gathering seemed half oblivious to the fact that they were minutes away from watching themselves on the big screen.
It wasn't open to the public, this was a private screening of [Harry Potter and the Successor Stone] - arranged by Red Studio just for them.
Every child cast in [Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone] was here, from the stars with dozens of lines to the nameless students who had filled the hallways of Hogwarts with enough life to make it feel like a real school.
Most were accompanied by their parents, some with siblings, all chattering in soft clusters.
Regal stood at the back of the balcony near the exit door, his expression quiet but unmistakably fond. His eyes moved over the rows - children who had worked in the sets of [Harry Potter] for more than ninety days.
Nearby, the studio staff were handing out drinks and snacks.
