Harry Is Upon Us…
Looking at the clock, I see that in just over 5 hours, I’ll be able to purchase a copy of Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince. The question gnawing at me is whether I should make a midnight run as just about all bookstores will be open to capitalize on this frenzy. I have heard that the crowds at these events are impossible. Will I be able to control myself? Common sense tells me to just wait till the morning. Besides, I don’t know of a Starbucks open at midnight.
While we were at the Mall today, we stopped by a bookstore and I got treated to some early Birthday presents. These will go perfect with my forthcoming reading marathon. Something that has been on my wishlist for a long time now presented itself. A Harry Potter Lumos Booklight. If you’re not a Harry Potter fan, you will have no clue what Lumos means. It’s a “Spell” that Wizards/Witches cast to turn their Wand into a flashlight of sorts. Check out the pix…
The Nice Embroidered Case complete with Hogwarts Seal.
The Case opens to reveal the booklight within.
Place the Lumos Booklight thus…
Makes for great reading with the lights down low!
