Anniversary of Harry Potter

Exactly a year ago, 5 girls in 4 different cities, all wearing the same shirt, received the same book.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- the final book in the Harry Potter series.  Ash and I were in line for 25 hours at Barnes and Noble in the Woodlands (the biggest Potter party in the Houston area!), Ruth was in Austin, Lauren was in Abilene, and Deanna was in Golden.


What a wonderful and fun-filled Ashley and I had.  We were sleep deprived, had stood in the rain for HOURS, had been outside Barnes and Noble all night long, were surviving on caffeine, water, and fresh fruit... it was a crazy day.  We ended up on the Houston news!  I was on ABC.com... all for Harry Potter!

Some pictures to remember and commemorate that day (and a link to the ABC.com story at the end!):

minor correction: I was actually in Austin that day-- had not yet moved to LR. But MAN that was a good day! I'm so sad the joy of new HP books is over :(

I just started rereading it in honor of its anniversary. I saw a very brief teaser for movie 6 at The Dark Knight - I almost peed! Seriously, I was so excited, and all they really did was play that intro song and show the title.
