After seeing and reviewing the movie, however, my attention returned in full to Deathly Hallows, now only a few days away. We were not making the trip to Canada this year, so for the first time in seven years, I would be home in Colorado for the release of the new Harry Potter book. I initially planned to attend the midnight launch party at my local Barnes & Noble, but one day, my Dad came home from our grocery store with a better idea. It turned out that since King Soopers was open 24 hours a day, they too would be releasing the book at midnight. Figuring that most people do not buy books at the same place they buy their eggs, we were sure the crowd would be miniscule. So on the eve of July 21st, 2007, we headed over to King Soopers, waited in a short, twenty-person line, and were home with the final book by 12:30 AM.
