Eleven-year-old John Vlkovic sits quietly on a wooden chair at Hicklebee's Children's Books. But he doesn't blend in. His unruly black hair is combed every which way, mostly straight up; his black bottle-cap glasses are Scotch-taped together and a lightning bolt scar splits his forehead. He's a dead ringer for Harry Potter, the 11-year-old protagonist of Scottish author J.K. Rowling's novels. He and other young wizards-in-training promise to be out in full force on Oct. 28. That's the day J.K. (or Joanne) Rowling rides into Willow Glen to sign her celebrated Harry Potter books for 1,000 fans, some bewitched enough by the phenomenon to spend the night in front of Hicklebee's the night of Sept. 7--the day before tickets to the event went on sale (all 1,000 Rowling tickets disappeared within a half hour).
