JK Rowling confirms the day of release for the last Harry Potter

So there we go...I know Amazon uk was already offering to reserve the book before the release date had been confirmed, so you can bet your life the offer will now be popping up all over the place

Anyone excited about this at all?

My theory by A. Elk, brackets, Miss, brackets. This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and it belongs to me, and I own it, and what it is, too.

Absolutely!! Thanks for the update, sweetie! :)

Doesn't the Order of the Phoenix movie come out in July as well? 17th or something...

Man...the final chapter. :(  Both exciting and sad.

We have booked our tickets to see Equus already; having read the play several times it's something I've always wanted to see...especially with Richard Griffiths in it as well.  As for the "lengthy" sex scene...pffffft.  There could be a slight chance of exaggeration there...

 
Poor Daniel Radcliffe, though.  He will curse the day he decided to play Harry Potter, as he was always certain to be typecast forever more.  These people complaining that he shouldn't appear naked should remember he's an actor; and to make out to your children that his being naked is a bad thing isn't going to help...they should be more worried about the horse-maiming than the nekkidness!

OH MY GOOOOOODDD!!!!!!

So I have a thing for boyish young lads. Those pictures of Daniel are

Am I the only one who think so????

Ditte 

I am so glad you said that.  I was looking at those pics (and others) and I was incredibly taken by Mr. Radcliffe.  Then I said "That's Harry Potter, shame on you" then I confided in my friend that he was hot and she said "I am so glad you said it first".

I am taking my daughter and her friend to the movie the 13th to see the Weasley Twins who will be appearing at a local theater.  Then on the 20th, a nearby town is having a party in all of the downtown area.  We will be going to that and hopefully making it until midnight so we can get the book and go home and read, read, read...

 I am excited!  I didn't care too much for 1/2 blood prince, but I need to know where the kids will end up.  I feel like they're good friends!

I am excited as heck to read it, but sad at the same time, ya know? 'Cause then it's all over.  I wonder if I'll cry.

Probably.

Most likely...

Yes.

Reminds me of something the Doctor said in an earlier episode this season of Doctor Who *WAIT til you read book 7...ohhh, I cried."

Hee.

Order of the Phoenix looks amazing...will be going the week after the release with my faithful Potter buddy, Laura.  She refuses to go opening weekend. LOL

We've booked for a 11.15pm viewing of the new film this Friday.  As for the book, we'll be going to the midnight opening of one of our local bookshops to pick up a couple of copies. 

I wish we had been able to get to the Natural History Museum in London, as JK Rowling will be there doing a reading from the book at midnight, and then signing copies....alas, you have to be invited specially to go and there will only be about 100 people there.  BAH!!!  :)

Gonna go see it next Tuesday! WOO!

Wowie...book is only WEEKS away!!!

Just curious how all of you Harry Potter fans are going to handle the book release this time.  Will you buy the book at midnight and read straight through?  I'm guessing that by the time most normal people wake up the next morning, the news will be filled with how Harry lived/died/turned into BOB/whatever...  Would this make you less likely to buy the book the next day?

I had this problem when  Twin Peaks episode 14 first aired.  I had a game that night and carpooled with a teammate and his girlfriend, after setting the VCR.  On the ride home, the radio DJ revealed the killer--no warning or anything.  Oh well.

I 'm working an overtime day tomorrow.  It was originally scheduled for next week.  When I realized that day was the day after the midnight launch, I switched with a friend.  From the time I get my hands on that book to the time I close the cover again, nothing is going to bring me into human company, let alone the intertubes.

That god damn trailer's more popular than Uncle's Day in a whorehouse!

This is my major malfunction, as they say in the movies.  I have this OCD thing where I always turn to the back of a book and read the last sentence.  I can't afford to do it this time.  All I know is the last word of the book was going to be "scar" for a long while, but when JK Rowling was interviewed on TV the other week she said she has changed that now.   I just know I would end up blowing the whole 608 pages for the sake of peeking...

I always read the last paragraph of a book too!  Why IS that.  My guess, though, is it won't ruin anything.  Just something like "and they smiled and said I know"...

I ordered my copy from Amazon and my daughter and her friend will get theirs from the bookstore at midnight.  I know they won't sleep until it's read.  They're so cute!

It turns out we are going to be going out of town this weekend--leaving Friday morning--so I will not be able to get my reserved copy until Sunday night at the earliest, and that's if we get back in time...or---gasp!--MONDAY!! By that point I will steal someone's Firebolt to shave some time and get that book, home, curled up on the bed, glasses perched firmly on the nose, pot o' tea on the bedside table and read until the end.

It is times like this where it would rock in insane amounts to be the owner of a TARDIS.  

I saw Order of the Phoenix last night.  Fan-tas-tic.
