Spoiler alert! The title of the seventh book: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” !!!
… ok, very funny, I know. We just got back from picking up our shiny new copy from WH Smith in Paris. We finally got back a little before 2:30am, which was within the time that we had guessed 3am.
As the metro was no longer running, we caught the night bus back (we were quite lucky to catch it shortly after we reached the bus stop in front of Le Louvre). On the bus there were quite a few people who had just bought the book.
We’ve decided to read two chapters at a time, handing off each time to the other, so that we can keep on the same page, so to speak, and periodically discuss developments.
… pictures to come (it’s too late now. I must resist the temptation to read the book. Must sleep…)
Update: Pictures…
(1) The throng of Harry Potter fans inside WH Smith before the book release
(2) The prepaid line in front of WH Smith stretches along the arcade parallel to Rue de Rivoli.
(3) After getting our copy at 1:30 am, hoards of people were still lined up in front of WH Smith.
