Sorry, I think I sent this originally just to Megan.

My 12-year-old son and I can't wait for Order of the Phoenix to be released
-- we've preordered two copies so we won't fight over who gets to read it first :) Many of his school friends are also anxious to get their hands on the latest book , so at least among the sixth graders, Harry is as popular as ever.

There are currently 311 holds for the book on our (Appleton, Wisconsin) library catalog, despite a message that warns patrons that no copies are currently available. I don't know how many of these holds are for children or teens or grown-ups, but I'd say Pottermania is still going strong.
