An estimated 200 adults and children turned out at Hearthside Books' 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning opening to pick up their copy of ``Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,'' the fourth book in the popular series. ``This is a first,'' said Hearthside owner Susan Hickey.

I know the wait is over because the newspaper, a publication previously known for breaking the Watergate scandal and bringing down a president, tells me this. The Washington Post was updating me daily with a specially designed logo for what it called the Potter Watch.

Matt and Michelle Shepardson, 8 and 10, are two of the most diehard Harry Potter fans at Mendenhall River Elementary School. Their mother, Widya, a Harry Potter fan herself, likes to show up early. So there they were, camped out at the back door to Hearthside Books' Nugget Mall location at 10:30 p.m. Friday night with school friend Veronica Buness, 8. They were the first in line to pick up a copy of the 896-page "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at Hearthside's Harry Potter Magical Midnight Party. And they could hardly wait.
