Harry Potter 7 Magic vs. Cory and Dad

Hmm, hopefully I have intrigued you enough to read a post with a title like the above one. A little back story to this post. My sister and I were dying to read Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (Book 7) and we wanted to read it on release day. I found that if you order the book at www.amazon.com then you could get release date shipping. My family was going down to my sister's house and we figured that we would both read the books once they came. Unfortunately we (my family) was trying to help her getting ready for a move into her new house. My dad and my sister's husband (Cory) wanted to keep us focused on moving and not on reading HP 7. They happened to be outside when HP 7 was delivered and proceeded to hide the book with no intention of telling me or Kristen until they had extracted proper amounts of work from us.

Anyway, I, about 30 minutes after all this went down, decided to see if there was tracking information to tell me when my book would arrive. I found tracking information, went to UPS, and discovered that UPS said my book had already been delivered. What?

So I checked all the normal places UPS would leave a delivery. It was nowhere outside, nowhere in the garage, etc, etc. Then I figured it must have been hidden. Going inside I went straight for dad's luggage. Guess what I found...two copies of HP 7---one for Kristen, one for me. Dad and Cory were particularly surprised and how quickly I had found the book, especially since they thought they were the only ones aware of its delivery.

It only goes to prove that the magic of Harry Potter and the not-so-magical package tracking trump parents and husbands any day.

    Funny story! They must have been pretty quiet about the whole thing...I wasn't aware the books had arrived...and I had not been made aware of the secrecy plot either! :)

    EVIL! I finished it that Saturday. Please give my hopeless Harry Potter geek gold star please! I was so afraid of being spoiled by someone running off on the plot that I didn't watch tv, get online, or talk to anyone on the phone until I had finished...I really don't know what I would do if I discovered such an underhanded plot in my home! Gasp.
