New York City just got their copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

I just got an update from Hermoine about the launch event that they are attending:

Sorting hat cermony
- Hermoine and Dobby were put into Hufflepuff
- Mark Evans into Ravenclaw

There is a Berty Bots eating contest, but only open to those under age of 10. "They're really being mean about it. Why don't they have more groups?"

They're having a blast. Now they wish they'd brought their webcam so they could be broadcasting. They'll call again in a couple hours.
