Being the only person to show up in costume for the Harry Potter lookalike contest at Kroger meant that my copy of the book was basically free.
I was expecting a bigger mob, but after giving out malted milk balls -- I mean, chocolate frogs -- and pepper imps (red hots), the staff said the people who showed up to buy "Deathly Hallows" would account for only about a tenth of their stock. I wonder if the stragglers (who I theorize are leaving Barnes and Noble empty-handed) have arrived yet, like a plague of locusts...
Well, I'm off to browse the last few pages of the book, then to bed. I don't mind spoilers, myself, but please put them under a cut tag, or risk my ire. My snarky response, anyway.
