I'd thought i'd share my harry potter tradition which I have done since the third book with you all.

Now you may or may not know that the book actually goes on sale at midnight and shops open especially for it, now every year since PoA me and friends have lined up outside to collect it. This has lead to many adventures, for example when the 4th came out I was quite young and me and my mates got lost at 1am in town and i had to phone my mummy for help. But possible one of the best days of my life was when the 6th book came out because it's the most fun i've ever had. This is what happened

7pm - met outside waterstones with lori, will and a few others. Set up beach chairs and portable cd player
8pm - got out the face paint and witches hats
8:30pm - ordered pizza from the line to confused dominoes
9pm - pizza arrives and by this time we have wine and other goodies
10pm - start why are we waiting chant to annoyed parents.
10:30pm - tried to start an unsuccessful game of twister
10:45pm- got mooned by passer by who had a wkd tattoo on his ass
11pm - will falls asleep, cue pen moustache
11:30pm - waterstoen workers hand out colouring competition, lori gets pissed of that she's too old to enter.
midnight - get book and stay up 24 hours to read it.


Share your plans for this year, I urge you all to do the midnight grab it's so much fun.

I live in a very small town. But if we go to Brainerd, I am sure to do it.

lmfao I really want to go down at midnight this year, just for the sake of it. I always thought it was pretty sad in the past, but since this is my last chance to do it, I really hope I can. But I dunno where will be open omgno

Well, i'll probably be having a day off from work on that day so i'll most likely be by myself [but that's A O.K with me] so i'll just line up, wear the gryfindor scarf my cousin's making for me and get the book.

BUT if I stay here and don't work, i'll be with my best friend and we'll go to the bookstore that celebrates for it. last year they had house tables, Harry potter food and games.

I can't do any of those cool things Crying or Very sad In Spain they only sell the English version and I need the American. Besides, they won't open a bookstore at 12 o'clock. Anywho:

I'll order it on Amazon
Wait for it
When it arrives, I won't stop reading

I asked my mom if I could go and she said yes, but I don't know if she is only kidding or no. And I want to buy the book and get interviewed for the television and be all spazzy about HP Cassie

my favorite piece of potter trivia is that the mail services have to employ extra staff for ''potter season'' cause the books are too heavy and there's to many to deliver.
