Went into my local Walmart at 4pm on the 21st and they had plenty left right by the book section. I needed to buy some other stuff anyway. No problems.
My biggest peeve was that none of the Slytherins stepped up to fight Voldemort. C’mon, they’re not ALL supposed to be bad.

“My biggest peeve was that none of the Slytherins stepped up to fight Voldemort. Cmon, theyre not ALL supposed to be bad.”
On page 747 we read, “...and Phineas Nigellus called, in his high reedy voice, ‘And let it be noted that Slytherin House played its part! Let our contribution not be forgotten!’”
But I’ll be doggone if I know what he’s talking about!
