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.

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.
