Whimsic Alley in California will be giving Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince away absolutely free to customers of its website and its Santa Monica, CA store. Quote:
Harry Potter fans seem to have adopted Whimsic Alley as their own. In chat rooms and news articles, fans have been referring to Whimsic Alley as "the Harry Potter store." In the three months since the store opened near Los Angeles, it has attracted visitors from all over the country, as well as Canada, France, Australia and Russia.
Quote:
Built by Hollywood visual set designer Paul Felix-Montez, it is reminiscent of a mystical London street where student and professional wizards converge to procure their magical wares. One of its shops - Phoenix Wands - offers twenty styles of handcrafted wooden wands. Other shops offer such things as wizard clothing, crystal balls, quill pens, potion bottles, caged owls and phoenixes, swords, staffs, magical candies and plush hippogriffs.

Let us think....
Coz, there are so many members and giving out HBP's to every single one would prove costly with a capital p ?

How many things worth 50 each would SS have to purchase to gift almost 14270 members with HBP's ?

She's just guessing that. I'd say there's probably a catch but from what I've read; I see none.

I wish I wasn't so cautious. If I weren't doubtful, I would have definitely gone for it! Ah well, too bad I don't live that close to take that advantage. *Check map on Mapquest*  Santa Monica is close to LA!?! Darnit, I'm soo 400 miles away from there!

I live 40 miles away from Santa Monica. I have always wanted to visit there but never knew such an alley existed. Now I will definatley have to go. When my HP loving cousin visits me for spring break, I know where to take her.
