A reader's worst nightmare happened to a local woman as she was finishing her copy of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' -- a section of the final pages of the book were missing.
Melissa Antinoff from Mount Laurel, New Jersey, was all settled in, ready for bed about to finish 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', when she realized several pages were missing:
"Well, I could have cried, I got to page 706 and got to what I think is the top of 707 and the two sentences don't match so I look down and it said 739."
Frustrated to say the least, Mellisa says she thought of heading back to the bookstore, but it was almost 11 o'clock and she was sure they'd be closed.
She had to wait until the morning, and she says she actually dreamed about the book.
She compares the missing pages to the ending of the final episode of 'The Soprano's', but she says at least she knew she could get the ending to Harry Potter.
