We Waited in the Rain. It was WORTH IT.

Last night was a big night, what with the new Harry Potter book coming out. Ciaran and I caught the double feature at the Hollywood Theatre (we saw Hot Fuzz and Factory Girl) and then swung by KidsBooks around midnight to line up. It was raining but a huge crowd showed up anyway. People kept driving by and yelling “WHOOOO! HARRY POTTER! YEAH!!!!” out their car windows. At one point a woman on a bike whizzed by cheering while wearing a CAPE with Harry Potter on the back of it. I turned to Ciaran and said, “Let’s remember, this is a book about a teenage wizard.”

Since Vancouver was one of the last cities in the world to release the book, I’ve been avoiding the internet for fear that everyone is talking about the ending. I don’t want to know. However I felt I needed to share some photos with you, my Piece friends, so I’m on just for a second. That’s how much I like you.

Ciaran can't contain his adoration and excitement for Potter!
