07/22/07 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last Harry Potter book, is released!

I couldn't believe it! We showed up 6 hours early and there's still a line	Unreal	Oh well, time to get in line
The line goes along the outside of the building	Yep, I went to Barnes & Noble	Barnes & Noble employees kept the line under control
Team Potter?	Getting closer..	A helicopter was taking pictures of the line
A Barnes and Noble employee	A cosplayer talks to someone in a car	Another cosplayer waits in line
A little cosplayer heads to the store!	Staples wasn't happy about how we were blocking the door	The book wasn't actually 784 pages long
The gave me this pamphlet on the way in	The back..	That's a lot of pages
Whooo	People waiting around the store	Some people caught up on their reading at the last minute
Meghan, Becky, and Friend sat around	This is their "natural" pose	"Are those the books?" "I can't confirm or deny that"
I got a spiffy hat	Cosplayer with flash	Cosplayer with no flash
The final line	Everyone gathered around the cash register	Meghan and Becky look at something
Becky looking around	Hi Becky	That guy's got his copies
People getting books	Everyone was excited	This employee was directing people with military precision
This way please	Come on come on	This woman held people back until hat man said it was ok
An Azkaban prisoner!	Meghan looks crazy	What a ripoff of Where's Waldo!
This guy had a wizard hat	Employees bagging books	The infamous boxes
Almost my turn!	This guy sold me my book	There it is!
My copy	More boxes, audio books, and normal books	Stacks of books
This guy takes out more books	Bagging my book	There was a big line outside
You should've pre-registered!	I had my book out in the parking lot by 12:14	I was ready to read by 12:40
I put on a pot of coffee, it was going to be a long night!
