I think I like the books better than my kids. What I love is how much care she takes in choosing names. Sirius (the dog star), Remus (raised by wolves) Lupin (Latin for wolf). And I'm sure there are loads more, but I'm not well-read enough to get them.
Can't WAIT until tomorrow. Getting the book in the mail. (tapping fingers)

I have digital copies of the books if you want them - anyone who does not own the books. Various types - MP3, also .lit and text files. I make copies for the kids who cannot get to the library! I'll bepicking up extras tomorrow for our Child Life dept!

That's it, I'm outta here.

Ciao, folks!

I'll agree with you about Harry's attitude in the last book... I wanted to reread it but I kept remembering how frustrating Harry was! I didn't preorder the book but I'm going to go looking for it tomorrow. Think happy thoughts I find it!

SIgh.... two hours and ten minutes until It comes out. They are having a party too at the Dragonwings in town... it was from nine to midnight when they give out the books. Ooooh I so wish I could afford one! But I dont want to pay 30 bucks for it anyways, you know? Of course, I, and everyone else who doesnt have the book yet, will have to avoid chatrooms and other such things for like... two months. Lol. I know I can come on here but I wont be able to go into the neopets boards for a while.

We got our for $16, so I guess it was a good deal. I stood in line for 45 minutes. The funny part was, he was so excited to get the book and wanted to read it in the car (he is 8) but fell asleep 3 minutes after we got there!

I cant wait bto get it, ive read all the other books at least 3 times. I just read ' The Order Of The Phonix' again out of bordom. I wonder who it is that will be killed off in this book. I cant wait. IM also waiting for the 2nd book of Eragon to come out, I cant spell it very well, 'Inheratince' I think. It comes out in Aungust. THe aurthor is only around 20 and was in highschool when he wrote Eragon(or maybe just gotn out).

Oh, and I forgot to mention. Someone in front of me in line told me to get the box the books came in because they sold theirs on EBay for $50 last book release. I thought that was crazy. I went ahead and asked for one and sure enough there are all ready 2 on Ebay this morning.

I picked mine up last night, it took about an hour till my number was called, then about 5 minutes in line to buy it. Took it home, and read the first 2 chapters.

Mine was just delivered. I am going to unsubscribe from this thread because I am scared of spoilers - the book is safely locked away in the safe until my departure date, thats when I plan to read it on the plane to while away the time! What a perfect way to spend a flight!

I love Dumbledore!! The scene in the Dursley's living room is priceless.


I am trying to pace myself, but it's hard. Will read some more this afternoon.

Picked it up at midnight, finished it at 2pm. Fabulous book, can't wait for the last one. That's all I'm saying...... no spoilers here.

The mailman delivered it at 1 p.m. CET ("Harry's here!), and I finished it about 20 minutes ago. No comment until at least tomorrow. I was less surprised than I expected to be.
