I guess it’s that time of year again. Harry Potter will be 33 years old on July 27. I only just caught on to the fact that people are holding birthday parties for the boy wizard--in bookstores!

It reminded me of the years we waited expectantly for the next Harry Potter book to be published and took the kids into actual bookstores in the middle of the night so they could buy each new volume as soon as possible. Then it was heads-down reading until it was finished.

Too bad there isn’t anything quite like it anymore.
