I'm sure you'll like the book more.

HLS is Her Lovely Self. That is, my girlfriend.

I hope I like the book, too.

Like, oh, my, GOSH, 23 hours until I can get my hands onto the new Harry Potter book, I am like, sooooo, excited.

But seriously I am. Too bad I have to work 9-2 Saturday morning...should I read it from 12am to 9am b/w when I get the book and when I work?
I have a major decision coming up: get sleep or try to finish the book.

Supposedly the book was released on the internet illegally so if you really want to make sure you don't hear the ending, wear earphones when you get it so some douchebag doesn't enlighten you.

Some people just can't wait. It appears that some Muggles couldn't wait until just after midnight Friday to get their copies of the hyper-anticipated "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purported to be the last in J.K. Rowling's series of books about the boy wizard and his magical adventures.

The Internet is abloom with spoilers (some featuring what appear to be photographed pages from the book that look pretty authentic) so folks can learn what happens at the end. Publishing execs are neither confirming nor denying, and it appears that some of the alleged spoilers are at odds.

The publishing and legal worlds need to figure out what this means with regard to copyright infringement. And if readers truly don't want to know what happens, they can stay away from the Internet until they can lock themselves in a room with the book.

Sadly, it appears that others who obviously need to get a life are planning to shout out which character lived and which died to innocent children waiting in line for pre-ordered books. One pathetic party pooper offered tips on how to pass out fliers to kids in line, revealing key plot elements.

Whatever.

All we can say is that if you think you know what happens, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! This is the climactic moment Potter fans have been waiting for since the first book was published in 1997. They deserve the chance to see magic reveal itself through the printed word one last time.

My nine year old niece ( I think she's nine....was it nine or ten last birthday?....not important) is off to the Border's Bookstore tonight where she will be enrolled into Hogwarts academy.....it's a brilliant booklaunch idea. In order to pass the entrance exam she has to have read all the Potter books to date. They start at 9:30 and go on to midnight. Then they go home to bed and back in again at 10am Saturday morning, for a full day of Hogwarts activities.

waaah!

I want to go to Hogwart's Academy!

so, who's buying the book?

I was thinking of getting up at 6 am and sneaking into Walmart.

I admit, the Harry Potter thing has passed me by somewha. I have seen one of the films and thought it was okay. I have asked my neice if I can borrow her books (mainly, because I think she finds the idea of being included in the family swap-shop approach to reading, quite exciting).

I read the first and the third, and I'm done with him. They are decent books, but not in my top 100.

Not really connected, but I just learned Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) was in a British play, Equus, where he had a nude scene. Is that legal in the UK?

My opinion, is it's just WEIRD to see Harry Potter's junk. I grew up with that kid, man (meaning we are of relative age).

Yes.

well, I got the book this morning. Went to Wal Mart at 6 am--not an unusual occurrence for me in the summer anyway.

I'm the sort of evil person who will usually peek at a book's ending. Not gonna with this one.

I beat you by 8 hours.

so are you done with it yet? I've already cried 3 times, and I'm only 1/5 of the way through.

No spoilers!

No, I haven't started it yet. Maybe sometime this week.

Mine was delivered in Leicester approx 7 hours after I left
Fingers crossed they posted it for me today, so I'll have it to read next week
