The store I'm getting the book at is located in the City Centre Mall East, and so they won't open until 10 A.M. on Saturday morning, but that's still earlier than what time most of the other stores are opening in that mall (bar the food court downstairs, McDonald's in particular).

I envy the webmasters of MuggleNet and The Leaky Cauldron, because they get to interview J.K. Rowling, with 6 winning questions from message board users on both sides having been picked (with two alternates just in case, I think) by website visitors, for the release of the book.

Do you break out is cold sweats just walking past McD's?

No, why?

I still talk to the people there that I used to work with, and still even order food and drinks from there occasionally (usually on Tuesdays, since that's the day when my favourite burger, the Big Mac, is on sale as part of the McDeal of the Day deals)

I'm still friends with them. It's just I hold a grudge against the consultant for the particular area that my locations were under. She was the one that ordered my job termination.

My copy (the adult edition - makes me feel more mature =P) is sitting right next to me... but I'm not reading it.. and for once I'm not gonna flick ahead to the end...

I accidentally stumbled across the spoilers online...and I kind of ruined the book completely for myself! I'll read it anyway, though.

Lat night I was at Barnes and Noble bookstore in the USA just for regular stuff, and there was like an 8 mile line of kids..and adults. So I asked a manager if there was a store book signing and he told me that the Harry potter book was coming out at 12:01 today, and people were getting their tivkets ahead of time.

I was in the store til about 9:00pm EST USA, and it was SO cool, all the store clerks,...and the children were dressed in costumes from the films/books..and one little girl had a humongous fake feathered mechanical owl attached to her arm.

Really clever and fun.

I went to get the charlie and the chocolate factory soundtrack, right at 12-something last night and the place was just crazy...*sigh*
kids...

Just got it today. Read the first pages and it is like a huge bar of chocolate I love to (r)eat/d it :D. Those pages are sacret for me.

I have no soul...mwahahahaha


The spoiler will be in a random post

I was well fucked off...after months of studiously avoiding spoilers and not finding out the rumoured death that people were putting such large bets on I bought my copy but first just had to have a look through the current affairs/TV magazine my parents had got that day.
What did I find? Yes! The identity of the person rumoured to die! Grrrr. Didn't really ruin the book for me though - I liked it and I was so pleased that Harry isn't as much of a whinger this time round.

Well, so far as of this post, I have read 1/3rd of the book already (207 pages), within 12 hours. Not bad.

oh god... so my friend comes over and asks me if i pre-ordered, then he makes a big deal about going to the book store to do it and i am suckeered into signing him on a list. Then we go get food and come back to wait in the stupid line to get some arm band. I had a dance performance that night, mind you. So we buzz up to my dance and then afterwards i slip into my hogwarts costume and then go bck to the bookstore where all these little kids ask me "ARE YOU A SLYTHERIN?" then my friend proclaims how hes a proud death eater cos its the civil rights movement for witching folk X_X
*dies*
then we went out to find what was open at 1 in the morning. NOTHING.

Ive finnished.

Bloody excellent. But made me sad :(

No He's just Psychotic instead. He kicks off about everything...

I spose he's been through alot, end if book 4 he's attack by voldemort, tortured abit, thinks he's gonna die, see's cedrick die. Then book five, has a cracking time at school, bullied constantly, then siruis dies... gets into more shit seeing fights and gets involved.

This time someone else dies that he likes... I think he is gonna start cracking up and going mad.

Next book is gonna be called Harry Potter, and The Psychiatric ward.

The book is great. I think it is rather sad though but no spoilers from me. I must be a book friek because I got it at 6:30 yesterday and finished it at 12:00 this morning.

My book rating

*****

Oh, this is the last book cos harry dies. oops. sorry folks.

I got it yesterday and I'm about halfway through...but I couldn't resist reading the spoilers so I completley ruined it for myself before the book even came in the mail!
