Thousands of people all over the world waited patiently at midnight on Friday for the final Harry Potter installment. J.K. Rowling and her publishers know the secret of marketing hype by hinting that Harry will die. Media coverage of the crowded bookstores, Harry look-alikes, and hyperactive muggles will fill the airwaves for days before and after. Do you think that the hype was worthy of the book's release? How much of the media coverage do you think is staged, or at least constructed, by the publishers? Did you get excited about the book's release? Do you usually try to be the first one to read the latest Harry Potter book or see the latest Harry Potter movie? Is there anything you would wait in line overnight to be the first one to get it?
