I live in Washington state (in the US) in a small town just north of Olympia. And if you know where Olympia is or have ever heard of it, you get a gold star. Because even though it's the state capital, it's really small and basically no one's heard of it. It's sorta by Seattle.

yeah, most people do. Because Olympia's so small. It's the capital because it was founded first or something. It's about an hour and a half away from Seattle.

Hmm, you'd think more people would know it though.
How many people live there?

in Olympia? About 40,000 I think. It could be more, though. Not many people know it at all. I was visiting my best friend in Tennessee this spring, and when I told everyone there that I was from Olympia, they were just like, "where?"

Hi, I've just registered today because I've read HBP and wanted to share my impressions with someone! Why I cannot share them with my friends (also Harry Potter fans) is obvious: I live in Lausanne, a small town located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland... So my friends will have to wait for the French translation :-)
By the way, "Pattenrond" is the name given to Hermione's cat in the French translation.
