Harry Potter and Storm Troopers?

The first of the evenings shots, of three Border's employees dressed up for the occasion.


Not everyone bothered to dress up, and this crowd several hours early eagerly waits for midnight.


One of many of the costumed fans.




With hours to kill, a wizard and an owl can be seen reading against a shelf inside


Adults in line show as much eagerness for the new book as kids.








Storm troopers and young wizard... Storm troopers are obviously Slytherins as seen both by their stickers and their following dark lords in black who's names start with V. (Lord Voldemort and Darth Vader)


Children in costume.

The line for the new Harry Potter went around the corner at the Borders in Palo Alto, Ca.


Although it's hard to see, that's an employee holding a copy of the book and the crowd cheering.


And behind me you can see more of the crowd.

Sorry for the delay in posts. Between a bunch of short trips and an intensive spanish course recently, everything else has been on the back burner.
