Baby Born in Movie Theater During Harry Potter Now Has 'Cineworld' Listed as Place of Birth

A baby girl, Elsie Lamb, was born in a Cineworld movie theater in Broughton, North Wales, during a screening of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Her mother, Molly Connah, 32, was overdue and had just attended a prenatal appointment for a sweep to induce labor. Connah, recalling the moment she left the theater, said she noticed something was off while watching Hagrid and Harry buy their items for Hogwarts.

As labor became more intense, Connah felt an overwhelming need to push. With assistance from her mother and Cineworld staff along with emergency medics and her father, Elsie Lamb was born within minutes. The family was then taken to the hospital after the film ended. Cineworld rewarded the family with four free tickets for a future showing as they missed the movie's conclusion.
