THE LATEST Harry Potter book goes on sale later this month, and there are some very big kids who can barely contain their excitement.

Brannigans entertainment venue in the High Street, Southampton, is holding a Harry Potter promotion in conjunction with WH Smith on Friday, June 20.

Ramon Durman, Brannigans staff member, dressed up as the character Hagrid to launch the magical merriment. Partygoers will be able to win copies of the book and there will be a chance to buy it from midnight onwards.

The whole night will be themed with a Harry Potter cocktail, wizards, witches and staff in fancy dress.
