This request is here on behalf of Kristin . . .
Kristin gets the credit for getting me into Harry Potter. Coming back from my mission, I had no idea what it was. Well, she said we should go watch the 2nd movie at the theatres (The Chamber of Secrets). We went and saw it and I left utterly confused. Feel free to ask me why in person. Anyway, she thought I might do better if we rented the 1st one. Ummm, not too much better, though at that stage in our relationship I remember being p-r-e-t-t-y distracted by Kristin's presence during movies. (Remember those days, when you can't stop thinking about the person you're with?)
Make a long story short, Kristin got me the books for Kristin and I plowed through the 1st four in the series in a matter of a month.
Anyway, when the 5th one was supposed to be released, I placed an pre-order for Kay. I sent it the the wrong address (ours) and so I called and cancelled the order. Well the launch occured, we scrambled and bought a copy. A few days later, what arrives in the mail . . . our cancelled copy! Well, we got a book for free and sold it to my roommate Paul.
Now for the reason for this entry - with the release of the final book a couple weeks ago, we ordered another copy for ourselves off of Overstock again. Then we decided we'd just cruise Walmart at midnight to get a copy. I called Overstock and cancelled our order. Well yesterday our copy arrived in the mail. How's that! We've managed to get two free copies of Harry Potter books over the years.

Sorry that this entry was so long, but it'll make for a good FJ entry - Family Journal.
So who's the real winner???? - Mickie, cuz now she doesn't have to wait for Kristin to finish!
