I worked at a summer camp when one of them was released. We had to arrange a late night outing so some of the students could go queue up for their copies. And then a spoiler ban got handed out that had quite serious consequences if anyone was deliberately spoiling the ending
I went to midnight release of book 7 at our nearby Barnes and noble. The potbelly sandwich shop next door was making special “butter beer” shakes and there was someone in front of the store doing a sorting hat and giving out little tattoos for the house you got.
The shopping center was closed off to traffic. There were no cars to worry about just fans dressed as wizards and witches running around in excitement. Like Halloween but the reward at the end of the night wasn’t candy but a cozy book filled with the answers to burning questions to dumbledore and the rest of the wizarding world.

We'll never get Borders back either.
