Hi, Yesterday was a fun day. One of my daughters dressed up as Bellatrix LeStrange, and won best costume at the store she went to. She got a gift certificate for the store, and it looks like she'll be on TV. She said she enjoyed playing Bellatrix, getting into the role of a villainess. She's so sweet normally, it was fun to watch her pretending. _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carrie Karnos Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2007 1:09 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; Christopher Nicholson Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: I have Harry Potter 7 Christopher is 22 and has described hiimself as a geek (as am I) so the two of us had a great time validating the book in the wee hours of the morning. My friend Joan (another big HP fan) and I went to 3 release parties during the evening. The first was at a local bookstore where there were about 500 people. The Stanford Band played for a half hour for everyone. They're always fun to watch. That bookstore had hats, wands, scarves, brooms, pendants, action figures, quill pens, and other Potter stuff for sale. We also went to a Borders bookstore, and then to a children's bookstore, Linden Tree Books, where Christopher got the Bookshare copy. They sold HP7 to him at a discount, which was very nice of them! The city where Linden Tree Books is (Los Altos) blocked off their main street, put up a large screen, and showed HP and the Sorcerer's Stone from 9:15 to 11:55. 200 people watched the movie, walked to the bookstore, picked up their copies, and headed home. I bought some Bertie Bott's Beans earlier in the day, with 20 different flavors (like soap, dirt, bacon, earthworm, vomit, etc). They REALLY do taste like their flavors. Anyway, it was a wonderfully fun day! Hope everyone has downloaded their copies and is now busily reading away.

It is fantastic that he was interested in helping. Have a good sleep!!! You deserve it!!!!!

I started out being very persnickety but after a couple of hours, I was so tired and out of it that I zoomed through the rest of the book pretty fast. I'll go back and fix the errors later. Sorry!
