Alaska Teens Camp Out 11 Days For Harry Potter

Forget piddling around a mere few days for an iPhone. Two sisters are in the midst of an 11-day vigil for this summer's hottest, "must have" low-tech phenomenon, the latest Harry Potter novel.

Chloe and Sydney Bostian started camping out Tuesday in front of Gulliver's Books in Fairbanks, California to be among the first Alaskans to find out their hero's fate in " Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

The seventh and final installment in the series by author J.K. Rowling will be released at midnight, July 21. "It's just so addicting. You think you have it all figured out and then everything switches up on you," said Chloe, 18. "It's the big finale, and all the questions are going to be answered."

The girls are living out of their parent's camper, parked in the bookstore's parking lot. During the day their parents, who are taking turns staying with them, move it to the customer parking area, but at night it comes right up to the store entrance - the front of the line.

To help pass time, they browse the bookstore and friends bring them food so they don't have to leave the line.
