Curling Up with a Butterbeer

My very own copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has arrived from Amazon.com! I am not a super geek or anything, but I feel I need to read it immediately to avoid accidentally reading any spoilers on the internet. I just hope to finish it in two weeks.

Here is the box it arrived in.



Later Muggles!

PS For those who don’t know what Butterbeer is:
Butterbeer is the drink of choice for younger wizards. Though marketed to children, it contains alcohol: it appears to cause no noticeable drunkenness on a thirteen-year-old humans (though it creates the feeling of "warmth"), but is strong enough to cause drunkenness in a house-elf; presumably, in very large amounts, the same would apply to a human. J. K. Rowling said in her interview to Bon Appetit magazine that she imagines it "to taste a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch". Butterbeer can be served cold or hot but either way it has a warming effect.
