i wanted in line at my local borders.i got there the day before it came out at like 4pm.me and my friends spent the night there in a frezzing tent drinking coffee so we would be up.Around 10 the store opened but wouldnt let us in.people were getting pissed so me and my friend October went inside and asked the owner when we would be able to get the book.The owner told us that they didnt have their shipment yet.So we went outside and told our friends then the guy behind us(hot may i add)over heard us and we started talking.Around noon two hours later the boss came out and said that their shipment never came in and we could wait in line till tom when they should be in.Many people left but me and my friends and the guy behind us(named matt) stayed we started talking and i called my dad and he said that we had a strong case because they faulsly advirtise that the book would be out.So me and my friend October went inside and told the manager what he did,but instead of finding the manager we found a huge stack of the Harry Potter seventh book we were firous so we went outside told our friends and matt.Matt told the person behind us and so on.We stormed in their and all in all we ended up only paying 13.75 instead of 20.99.Around 6ish i finally had my book in my hands and went home and read the book in like a week i wanted to savor every moment.My experience was really abnormal and mean i mean like how could then store and manager hold that book from us they lost alot of businness doing that half their costumers went some where else.it was really stupid but all that mattered to me was that i got my book which i did.

On the day the seventh book came out, I had to be at a family reunion in the middle of NOWHERE. The nearest bookstore was over 30 miles away. So my uncle ordered the books through Amazon adn we were able to start reading it the night it came out. The night before it came out, we went to see the fifth movie with some home-made sciving snackboxes and chocolate frogs.

I got to the store at 1pm Friday, and was there all day. But then, when I got in line, I was 6th to get my book, because a bunch of people cut in front of me. Luckily, the line was fast, and I got my book at 12:03!

my friend and i waited for three hours to get our book. we enjoyed all the festivities, made wands, played quidditch, got sorted by the sorting hat and then counted down to midnight. there were at least 100 people ahead of us, and our local bookstore wasn't too organized. so 15 mintues after the books went on sale, my friend and i got really impatient so we walked next door to the safeway and purchased our book there.

We got to B&N around 9pm and were sittin'and readin',not approached by any employees, no announcement was made. 11pm cames around and we see a guy with a wrist band on and we ask why. We had to go get in line for a wrist band so they could keep track of people vs. books, so we get in line. Firstly let me tell you the B&N has 2 entrances and the tables were only at one(not the one who came in at) and noone told us about them. Moving on...We're in line for almost an hour(it's not 12am yet), when B&N kickes everyone out who doesn't have a wrist band. &$#!@*?{.........So we head home and hit a Walmart on the way and were in line for half an hour(don't worry I doubt they outsourced the making of the books sold in walmarts). Walmart, you dirty dirty lady you saved me this time, and I thak you.
