Harry Potter and the Too Many Pints

So I spent one night in London after Warsaw before Thailand. And that happened to be the day the last Harry Potter book hit the stands! I wasn't there to pick up the book at midnight, but I prepurchased my book at Waterstone's and went to pick it up. My friend Chris and I went pub-crawling since it was raining and had a Harry Potter reading contest. It was unfair because he had a 15-page headstart, but I managed to catch up by sending him to get another round of pints.



Coolest thing was...there's a part in the book where Harry Potter, Hermione, and Ron go to Tottenham Court Road, and when we got to that part, we were on Tottenham Court Road, too! I think I saw them, but maybe that was the beers...


I SEE YOU!

EVERYONE in London was reading Harry Potter. At Sainsbury's, on the Tube, at Heathrow Airport, at the cash machines, Starbucks, etc. It's a much bigger deal there than at home.

I kind of cheated though, because I read the last chapter before I started the book because I wanted to make sure Harry Potter doesn't die. I wouldn't want to read it if he did. Haha...see, I just killed it for you. I'm so evil. Yes, and I try to kick pigeons.

Anyhow, note to Chris: "We'll always have Tottenham Court Road."
