At long last the book
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released. Allan had been waiting a long time, and to celebrate the event we attended the release party at our local Barnes and Noble store. We arrived about 9:30p and made our way around the various activities in the store. They had everything from wand making to trivia contests for prizes. At midnight there was a New Year's style balloon drop, and then it was off to the lines.
In order to get the book on release day we had signed up weeks ago, but we didn't realize that when you arrived you had to get your passport. We were a bit late and ended up in the last group to get the book, Group D. It was past 1:30a when we finally got home, but everyone enjoyed the experience. Click the picture to see the photos.
The only question now is how many days it will be before Allan emerges from his room!
