Harvard Square became Hogwart's Square on the eve of the release of the seventh and final Harry Potter book.

Bookstores nervously prepared their inventory while J.K.Rowling's fans celebrated by taking over the entire square.

Old, young, families, and students wore costumes, listened to the bands "Draco and the Malfoys" and "Harry and the Potters", and lined up early simply for the camaraderie of it all. Closed streets. News vans.

Many happy people.
