Unlike the previous two years, this time I went to Borders in Champaign for the Harry Potter book release book party. While I was not as rabid about this as most of the ~1,000 people that attended the event, I did manage to get one of the first copies (#15 in line; Dad actually stood in for me), and got a lot of good pictures in the meantime. And Beth, poor Beth, she had to run the line to buy the book...

I liked the book, though.
