Harry Potter Mania -- D.C. & Northern Virginia Top the Country!

Harry Potter mania is officially here with the book being released across the country tonight at midnight! Have you reserved your copy?

Today's Washington Business Journal reports that Falls Church, Virginia leads the nation in pre-orders for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Harrows" according to Amazon.com.

Fairfax, Virginia, and Vienna, Virginia, two close-in suburbs of Washington D.C. were also in the top 5. The Journal reported that on a per capita basis, Washington D.C. led all 50 states!

I guess traffic won't be so bad this weekend because everyone will be at the pool or on the couch reading Harry Potter.

According to the article, Amazon dubbed Falls Church, "the Harry-est Town in America" and donated a $5,000 gift certificate to a Library Foundation in Falls Church.

Hope you have a magical weekend selling real estate!

My girlfriend had Barnes & Noble redirect her order to Reston because she's up there for a little while - thus further increasing the DC area ratio!. And she plans to spend this whole weekend reading. I guess I'll have to read the version I downloaded a few days ago (oops, did I say that?)

How's the book so far? I'll be picking up my copy sometime this weekend -- too nice to stay inside reading though -- maybe by the pool or on the balcony.

She's on page 48 and says it's going well so far.

At the Barnes and Noble near my office, there was a line of people all the way around the building waiting for the midnight party celebrating the release of the book. I wasn't all that surprised by the line but at the fact that it was that big at 7pm!!

I finished the book on Thursday night after staying up pretty late every night of the week compelled to read more of the page turner. I great end to the Potter series. Now I need to see the current movie and look forward to the rest.
