The final Harry Potter instalment
So just after I finished all of my exams on thusday the 19.07.07 (and passed in all of them by the way… thank you very much) Cindy and I took an early flight on the 20.07.07 to London where we spend the day sightseeing and then at about 6 pm we began quing at the Waterstones near Picadilly Circus.

It was amazing soooo many people where there I think someone said in the end shortly before midnight about 6000 poeple where quing but I can´t be sure.
When it was midnight Waterstones opened but we still had to wait about an hour to get into the shop although it was a really big one and the only book sold, was obviolsy the final potter instalment.
So we had to wait for about an hour… the worst thing was that the people who had already bought the book left the store at the backside and so had to walk through the quie while holding theri books… I swear it was soo much temptation to just snatch one from them and to run away.
Once Cindy and I had bought our copys we left and hurried back to our hostle (which was just a 5 minutes walk) we imidiatly headed to the common room, because we obivously couldn´t read in our bedroom that we shared with 6 other people and going to bed at about 1:30 am was NOT AN OPTION..
It was the funniest thing, we walked into the common roome and sitting there where already like 6 people reading Harry Potter , they told us they had started camping infront of the store on Wensdey and since they where such a large group they had split they time half of theme always sleeping in the hostel half of them in a dent in front of the store. they where from denmark if I remember correctly but I am not sure since we met so many poeple from different countrys like from Japan, Switzerland, France …. who had all come jsut to buy and read the Harry Potter book in England and to be able to buy it at midnight.
All in all it was amazing and totally worth the stress and the sleepless night.
The book of course is amazing, but I expected nothing less … well read for yourselfe if you haven´t already.
