Rachel,
That is such a great feeling, isn't it? I was on vacation in Missouri. On Sunday
morning, I was at a new park with my grandchildren. I noticed 2 fathers on
different sides of the park with very small children(ages that need to be watched
every second). Both had their brand new Harry Potter books about half read. They
kept sneaking peeks in the book as if they were going to be able to read. Both were
in their early 30's. Potter fever everywhere. Love it!

The first people in line at my local Walmart at 12:01 Saturday morning were
a trio of young men - most likely high school football players from the looks
of them - and I must say their response to finally getting their HP7 book
warmed the cockles of my cold teacher heart. ;-) They shouted Yeh! Yeh!, pumped
their fists in the air and chest banged each other. All this for a book! Not
concert tickets, not Super Bowl or World Series tickets, but a book!
Absolutely incredible. I loved it!
