Harry Potter Fans Camp Out 11-Days For New Book

Harry Potter Fans Camp Out 11-Days For New Book

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Two sisters are making sure they'll be among the first people in Alaska to buy the latest Harry Potter book when it comes out next week.

They are in the midst of an 11-day vigil at a Fairbanks bookstore.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will be the seventh and final installment in the series by author J.K. Rowling. It's due out on July 21 at midnight.

Eighteen-year-old Chloe Bostian said it's the big finale, and all the questions are going to be answered.

2. Gee, I got mine with no wait at Walgreens last time.

The bookstore was a madhouse, so I said "fuck this shit" (yes, that's a direct quote) and went home. Happened to walk by the 24 hour pharmacy and they had it, so I got it there without having to deal with any crowds.

A friend did the same thing at the 24 hour Safeway.
