They say tickets to 13 theaters sold out quickly went they went on sale several weeks ago. Tickets to two more theaters added this week sold out within a couple of days.

Mayfaire started seating for their midnight showings at 7 p.m. and though many fans were four and five hours early, it didn't stop their enthusiasm.

"It's the only seven books I've ever read, so I just thought I would dress up because its the last sha bang," said Leighton Upton, a Harry Potter look-a-like.

Brings back memories of the 70's, and single screen theatres. Sellout crowds were common then. Now they just put it on 5 or 6 screens. Within a week, it can exhaust 50% of its sales.
