Nothing could be hotter than reading Harry Potter

Yesterday, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was officially released and the library celebrated by offering pony rides in the park, live owls, train rides (actually golf cart rides), a magic potions class, purple cotton candy, a prize for best decorated book truck, and many other illustrious events. Best of all, in my opinion, was a patron who showed up with their cat, wearing a hat(!), seated in a baby stroller, looking as cool as a cucumber amidst all the crowds. But of course all this pales in comparison to the actual excitement of the book itself, which I am now wending my way through, courtesy of Mr. Jim Dale.
