With J.K. Rowling's final Harry Potter book due to be released at midnight, those (like me) who haven't pre-ordered their copy are now strategizing where to buy it. The list price may be $34.99, but mass retailers have aggressively slashed that by as much as 50% in an effort to lure Potter fans their way. Which means those looking for a bargain are more likely to be ordering from Amazon.com (current price: $17.99) or heading to Wal-Mart ($17.97), Costco ($18.19) instead of their local bookstore.
Crafty Potter fans should check out an extensive list of links to patterns for Hogwarts scarves, Bellatrix socks, Weasley sweaters and other goodies.
