From left, Sarah Hallikas, Danielle Strachan, Angela Huntley, Derek Thompson, and Scott Wachter were among the first to pick up copies of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” by J.K. Rowling at the midnight launch at Betty’s early Saturday morning. More than 150 people turned up for the highly anticipated book release, but Betty’s is not allowed to say how many copies were sold. The book is the sixth in the Harry Potter series.
