Today, July 21 is the much awaited release of the 7th installment of Harry Potter. We, here in the Philippines were the first ones to grab the copy of the book because we are 16 hours ahead of other countries. But as of the moment only a handsful were reading it. Tonight there will be a Triwizard Tournament party at Fully Booked, Bonifacio Global City were Potterheads will gather to party and celebrate and then read the whole book. I am quite excited on what will happen to Harry in this last installment, although I already have inkling on what is going to happen. Happy reading Harry Potter fans!

A slight correction there....Harry potter was released July 21 00:01GMT. So regardless of what time zone you are in, the book was released around the world at the same time. I believe that Philippines is +8.00 GMT, so that means it was released 8am philippine time, and i doubt most bookstores where open by that time. Anyway, have fun at the party!.
