It's a big day in the book world, or more precisely, it will be a big night. Tomorrow will be the day of land-office business in bookstores. Here at the library it's an orderly process. Reserves have been placed over the last weeks, and the lucky first recipients of the newest Harry Potter book will no doubt be here bright and early tomorrow, library cards in hand, to pick up their books and audios.
So how to while away the remaining hours? Here's a quick Harry-related tour around the Web:
J.K. Rowling's official site has become her main means of communication with her fans, much to the chagrin of the press. It's an amazing site, full of flash and sparkle. For best results, have your sound turned on, and please let me know if you can figure out how to make the phone stop ringing.
Scholastic is Harry's U.S. publisher. Their Potter site offers, information, games, and discussion. Bloomsbury is the British publisher. Take a look at their site and see how different the British editions of the books look.
MuggleNet is loaded with trivia, including film flubs and other minutiae.
The Harry Potter Lexicon bills itself as a reference guide to all things Potter.
