I’m actually getting ready to send this story to The Consumerist, but in case they don’t upload it, I’m putting it up here.

Three people I know (Two I know offline) have expressed so much undying love for Harry Potter that they have gone out and waited outside various bookstores until Midnight to buy the bloody book. I’m sure there’s more out there.
I honestly have no clue why people love this book series so much. If the [...]
