I'm really bummed that I can't go to the midnight release for this, they're always a lot of fun.
I got to volunteer at the book release for this so I got my copy of the final book before midnight and got a free 'Official Ministry of Magic' tshirt
/really dorky claim
But I was incredibly obsessed with these books for a few years. I think it's because I grew up with them - I started out a couple years younger than Harry Potter and ended being pretty much the same age as him so I felt like I could relate to the characters really well throughout.
