We look back at a week of endings, specifically lengthy land acquisition negotiations and the Harry Potter movie saga.
MONDAY The “storm of the decade,” as some soothsayers have proclaimed, knocked out power for more than 71,000 in ComEd’s South Region, including Orland Park. Lightning and 80mph wind took down power lines across the Chicagoland area. For the convenience of readers, we created a page with links to all stories chronicling the village’s bid to create a walkable downtown that we will continue to update when needed. TUESDAY Orland Park village trustees unanimously approved a $7.5 million settlement with Plaza owners George Gee and Joe Mikan for the purchase of the entire Plaza property in three phases.

Fashion, dedication and childhood memories are all explored at the midnight premiere of the final Harry Potter movie.
For some, it was the end of their childhood. For others, it was a night to transform into the characters they grew to know. For all, it was a chance to be among the first to see the last installment in the Harry Potter film series. The theaters at Marcus Theater were filled with fans for the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II, which sold out well ahead of the midnight premier Friday morning. A select few watched 12 hours of the previous movies straight before the midnight premier. When the film let out just after 2 a.m. Friday, it appeared folks were just as pleased as they were saddened at the end of an era.

Fans began their goodbye to eight-part Harry Potter film series with help from Marcus Theatre and its 12-hour marathon of the previous films.
Some diehard fans began their goodbye to the famous wizard a few hours earlier than the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II—with a 12-hour tribute. The Marcus Theater sold 40 tickets of their special viewing of the previous movies run in a row leading up to the premier. Passionate fans, and those who wanted a chance to catch up on what they'd missed, were a part of those 40 who are braving the half-day of nonstop Harry Potter.
