How We Met Harry
The Philosopher’s Stone was published in Canada in 2000. The evening before it was released, we were in a Chapters bookstore in a nearby city. We had never heard of Harry Potter. Derek, N (who was 6), and I (wearing B) happened to walk by a table which appeared to hold secret books hidden under a large table cloth. A news reporter and photographer were hanging around and quickly approached us to borrow N for a picture. They explained a bit about the book, and for some reason, I consented. N pretended to peek under the table cloth while the photographer took the picture. N was wearing a Tilley hat. 
The photo made the front page of the city newspaper - in color. It was a couple more years before N actually read the book. We were soon addicted to the books and the movies, even to the point of waiting in the midnight line for the last two books and the last movie.
