Harry Potter works his magic again!






People fill the bookstores and shopping centers all over the world as the release of the seventh and final installment of Harry Potter goes on sale. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is perhaps the biggest and most anticipated release since the premiere of the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

People from all walks of life crowd this local Wal*Mart in Albion, New York awaiting the 12:01 release of the book. Each person reserving their copy of the book with a colored bracelet representing one of the four "houses" from Hogwarts School.

Fans, and curious people of all ages wait their turn. Before we knew it, the books were being passed out and everyone was thumbing the pages of the book before leaving the store. Just about everyone was here, including some people who just came to watch the people wait in line. Fan or not, the books sold quickly. Everyone was excited about the event, there were even a few who dressed as characters from the book.

As the night comes to an end, we can only imagine another event like this until perhaps the final movie comes to theaters.
