HP 5 is here!

by on Jun.22, 2003, under Uncategorized

Although we didn’t stay up until midnight yesterday and don wizard outfits to head to the book store, Nikki and I did pick up a copy of the latest Harry Potter book early on Saturday morning (having reserved it a few weeks ago at our local Borders where, allegedly, they had taken 1000 orders). During the long, dark, sleepless times of Cameron’s colic 3 and a half years ago, the first Harry Potter book provided some escape for us. During the 30 scream-free minutes while Cameron nursed late in the evening, we would read aloud from the book.
After the colic ended, we continued the tradition, reading one chapter each evening. As late starters, we got through the first 3 books pretty quickly but had to wait for number 4 (which arrived by special delivery from Amazon on the morning of its publication) and number 5.
Last night saw the start of another 38 nights of Potter. Things look good with dementors appearing in chapter one. More news in a month or so once we are finished…..
