Harry's in the House

The day has come and I imagine that 2/3 of the GAB has already finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I did my part by skipping to the last few pages and reading a few paragraphs. Anita was not amused.

Let me back up. We were in McCall this weekend with the Thorsteinson, Wallace and Odberg families and Anita had a few margaritas in her. It was approaching midnight, McCall time, and I threw out that we should see if there were any Harry Potter books going on sale at 12:01. Anita was the only one who bit so the two of us loaded up in her minivan and we cruised the streets of McCall in search of Harry, much to the chagrin of the rest of the people in our party.

Well, we found Mr. Potter and the rest of Hogwarts at McCall Drug. We were second to last in a long line and finally picked up our copies (paying full list price no less, I guess this is what having a few too many does to a guy - I only had one small beverage prior and was not inebriated by any means) at 12:30 am.

We excitedly brought our books back to the Odberg cabin and that's where I thought I'd get Anita's goat by skipping to the last chapter.

I'm hoping she posts her pictures from that night in front of the Drugstore holding our copies of the book. It was a fun adventure. I sent my copy to my mom as I am still slogging through Year 5. Enjoy the book. Although I am not as much of a Pottermaniac as some of you I am still sad at the conclusion of this great series.
