Pottering About

Yes... I am a huge Harry Potter fan. As is my sister. We have spent many hours theorizing and re-reading the books to try and figure out the ending. So last Friday night, I was there at the midnight release of Book 7.
I did not wear a costume myself (as I had just flown back from LA that evening and drove straight from the airport to Barnes and Noble).
There were witches...



... a Dumbledore...



... and a Rita Skeeter...


... what was quite hilarious and usually in character as she moved around and directed us into our lines. She was an employee as well.

It was so wonderful to see an entire room of excited, smiling people when they announced at midnight that it was time to start selling. The age range of people was amazing- from the very young to the very old and from all walks of life! Now I just have to make sure I get some sleep at night rather than staying up the entire night reading....

i can't believe it has come to an end. what an exciting time we live in to have the books be a literary hit with adults and kids and the author to still be alive.
