July 21st 2007

Here is what July 21st 2007 looked like at 7:00 am. We were one of the hundreds (thousands?) of people at the bookshops for the launch of the last Harry Potter book. I loved the way so many dressed up for the occasion....especially the adults. There were a few Harrys, some Hermiones, a couple Rons, a few handmade Nimbus 2000s, a Snape, a Viktor Krum and lots of really clever looking Muggles.

There is no way Christopher will be reading this last book until he's much older though. We have read up to book 4 together and then stopped as it was starting to get a bit old for him. I, on the other hand, could not put the books down and have read them all. Christopher loved being able to dress up in his Gryffindor robe and have people call him Harry for the day. The balloon he's holding says "#1 Harry Fan".
