Introduction

As I'm sure you know, the next (and last) installment in the Harry Potter series comes out this Saturday. To celebrate, the Haverford Bookstore is throwing a midnight release party on Friday night. I'll be there, taking pictures and posting updates from the release of the most anticipated book since the King James Bible (I'm pretty sure there were some wild midnight parties back in 1611, although I doubt the costumes were as good).

So for the next few days, in this space you'll find many things: rampant speculations about the plot (but absolutely NO SPOILERS), updates on the preparations for the party, how other Haverford students are preparing for the book, and after the fact, pictures and interviews from the party itself along with some spoiler-free impressions of the book.
