Jenna's former blog. It will still be here, but she will not be here.
So Friday night was fun. Carolyn and I wandered around the Village until the Potter Party started (I used my Starbucks card!). When we were waiting to go in we saw the best dressed 11 year olds in Castro Valley (as Harry and Hermione). And, surprisingly enough, we were not the oldest kids there. We got matching lightning bolt scars painted on our foreheads. Carolyn found the golden snitch. We debated Snape's loyalty to Dumbledore with a 40-something-year-old lady wearing a green cloak she had made herself. We watched little kids answer trivia questions (we didn't know the answers). Then we counted down until 12:01 and I got my book. The Village is eerily empty that late at night. We decided to go to her house and read together, as her book would arrive the next morning in the mail. We switched off reading aloud until she started snoring. We're the coolest people ever.
The next day I came home and read. Until 1:30 am, when I finished the book. With breaks for food and such. I finished the whole thing in about 24 hours. That's a new record for me, the last one took 5 days with only 200 more pages. Then I was sad, because Harry is gone for another two years or so. I guess I'll just have to wait until the fourth movie comes out.
