"I've read through the entire series. It's not as developed as Harry Potter, but it probably would be if there were more books in the series," said Bush, an obviously avid Hunger Games fan.
There could be a long line at the Shannon Theatre on Thursday. It might go all the way back to the Et Cetera alley, or Common Grounds.
Those in the queue await the midnight (actually, 12:01 a.m.) and premier showing of "The Hunger Games." It could be this generation's Harry Potter. Whatever it is, the first movie in this three-book series has its share of fans. Lots of them. The film, rated PG-13, is based on Suzanne Collin's best-selling trilogy.
There's still time to sponsor one of downtown Bluffton flowerpots for this summer.
Stratton Greenhouses handle the beatification project and in cooperation with the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce invites persons to participate in seeing that the flowerpots become a reality.
