So long Harry!
Sara and I have both avidly followed the Harry Potter saga and so at midnight on Friday, along with our friends Emma and Will, we went along to the bookshop in Dulwich Village to buy our copy of the final book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
We arrived at 11.30 but the queue already very loooooongggg....the shop opened up at midnight (prompting cheers from some people in the queue) but we didn't get into the shop until nearly 1am with so many people ahead of us. Despite the long-ish wait, it was actually good fun. Lots of kids were dressed up as wizards and witches and we had to cover our ears as people would lean out of passing cars and shout out the ending! But we eventually bought our copies and Emma read the first page out loud to us as we drove back home.
Sara finished reading the book on Saturday evening and approves ;-) I'm still in the early chapters so don't tell me what happens!
By the way, Will's wife Clare went to the Natural History Museum in the early hours to get her copy and meet JK Rowling herself. Cool, huh? But that's another story...
