Harry Potter on the High SeasJune 26, 2007In the children's section of our store this morning, I overheard a seafaring father talking with his worried, wizard-loving daughter about how they'll get their hands on a hot-off-the-presses copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. "We'll come into some port on July 21st," he reassured her. "I will MAKE SURE we come into some MAJOR port on July 21st!" I love the image of ships all over the world sailing into port and dropping anchor on the same day for the same bookish purpose, their resident kids scurrying up the gangplank and rushing to the nearest bookstore.

In response to: Harry Potter on the High Seas Chas commented: Actually, you go down a gangway to the dock, and up the gangway to the ship. Still a great image!

In response to: Harry Potter on the High Seas Michele Avanti - author GreeHee The Jour commented: What a fabulous image - so other worldly. A magical trek from the high seas to a the land of imagination - bookstore magic!

In response to: Harry Potter on the High Seas ShelfTalker commented: Chas, Thanks for the (rather obvious) correction on that one. Clearly I have spent far too little time "simply messing about in boats" (at least in ones large enough to require a gangway)!

In response to: Harry Potter on the High Seas Deborah Deatrick commented: We'll be in a tiny town in southern France on July 21 - no boats and the post is still on strike, so no mail. My 9 year old son is fuming! Any ideas?

In response to: Harry Potter on the High Seas ShelfTalker commented: Deborah, Ouch. That's tough. My best suggestion is for you to befriend someone with an international calling plan, unlimited spending money, unlimited free time, and a talent for reading aloud!
