My friend Kathy's in town this weekend (see what else we did last night) and we were at the Tallahassee Barnes & Noble until 1:15 this morning getting our Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
books. This was the first time I've attended a Harry Potter bash and figured this would be the last one so may as well.Muggles, self included, were giddy with magical excitement. I just can't believe all the people who came out dressed up. It does make sense that the young adults who were kids a decade ago grew up with the story and are totally entrenched in Harry. The books, movies and merchandise have influenced a generation. Plus, it's good seeing kids getting excited over a book.
The most excited person of the evening was a little boy who purchased the first book (he also happens to be the son of a B&N employee). As soon as he made his purchase, he told his mom, "Okay, let's get outta here."
Upon getting home, I immediately read the first two chapters and fell asleep. Although a bit sleepy now, must...read...more...Harry Potter
