Harry Potter & Borders Bookshop

I like to read.  Be it magazine or books (but it has to be books that I love, topic that I like). 

Having said that, I have been reading the Harry Potter series for as long as I can remember.  I will wake up at 4am and take a cab to Borders at Wheelock Place with my children to queue for the book and we will have our well-deserved breakfast (eh-hem.... of course it's well deserved since I wake up so early, right?) at the cafe.... but IT ALL ENDS.

The Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was screened world-wide on 15 July 2011.  And after not too long, Borders will be pulling down the shutters for good.  The USA Borders will be closed.  Not the one in Singapore.  I understand the one in Singapore is under the Australia bookstore. Part of the best memory formed duly my kid's growing up years will be over too.

I am not sure if my kids enjoy the queueing at Borders with me but I really enjoy the fun (actually not much fun involved) but being physically there was really ....  amazing!!!!  

There were lots of youngster & parents in the queue, youngsters put up their best costume, staffs have games to keep people entertained etc.  No other book launch have had enjoyed this kind of status before.  Never in my life have I experienced this until Harry Potter! 

Even now, I love re-reading all the books.  I love the books!  Think they will be well loved by the grand children in future too..... Provided I leave everything to them
