I went for the midnight party for the last HP book. I didn't like it, all the people, bright lights and esp all the waiting! I'm going early Sat. morning to pick up the two copies I reserved for our family. My oldest will probably read it almost in one sitting, she stayed up all night reading the last book. She didn't even want to but couldn't put it down! At least I'll get to start reading that copy probably late Sat. afternoon or evening! My youngest plans to spend the majority of the day Sat. reading it too! Their sister is on vacation, I hope my youngest will be done by the time she gets back because I'm sure she'll want to start it immediately! It's so exciting and funny to have to almost have a schedule for reading a new book!

OH NO!!!

My Harry Potter buddy is sick!!!! No one to go to the festivities with...(Except the million other strangers that will be lining up with me)...if any of you live in the tampa bay area and are going tonight, let me know!!!!

I have not read any of the spoilers...already cleaned the house, shopped, and put all family/friends on notice that this is a "DO NOT DISTURB" weekend...I plan to do NOTHING but read!!!!

In all seriousness, this will be the 4th time I have lined up at midnight to purchase my book...no other series has ever had this effect on me. JK Rawlings has truly given us magic!!

The earlier part of the link up there is NOT describing the one I read.
However, the summery part at the bottom of the link does describe my book.

It has some right, but some wrong too.

I got my wristband at Borders just a little while ago. This day is going SLOOOOOOWWWWW! Rather than sitting around Borders, my fiancee and I will be at the local sports bar playing Harry Potter trivia. My fiancee is not happy that he is going to have to sit with a bunch of HP fanatics, but he is not being given much of a choice.

Thanks Neko! That's what I was thinking might happen.

Sounds like this is going to be a fun day and a fun weekend for a lot of people!

I shopped for food/snacks (including all my favorites), washed all my hubby's clothes for this weekend and am shooing him out the door around 7:30 tonight - I'll be all ready for the Weekend of Harry Potter in just a few more hours!

I did the worst thing possible - I told my mom I was leaving here at 6AM to stop at WalMart to pick up the book - you see I forgot she knew hubby (lol dh) ordered it from Amazon... but with 5 of us, and at the opening price of $17 we always get 2 copies!!

I would go at midnight, but I have to drive almost 2 hours to pick dd up from her Bible Camp!(and If I get the book, I'll have to READ the book! lol) I figure I should get there around 8 am and I'll just read till they tell me to come get her!! LOL

hmmm, i am surprised to see that Wikipedia has spoiled the book. they don't spoil Big Brother or Survivor because i constantly check. so, this was really weird to read the synopsis they have up.

Just a warning, what Wikipedia says is completely true, so if you don't want to be spoiled just yet, don't go over to read what it says.

I read what it had to say about the spoilers and the fact that DeepDiscount.com sent out 1200 copies early (which is probably where the online book came from) and how a book was put on E-bay and sold for $250.
It's pretty amazing what Potter-mania can do. LOL

Thanks for mentioning that about Wikipedia Neko.

There is a lot of Potter mania about.

I have to say it is truly astonishing (the mania that is) and a great deal of fun. It's hard to imagine anything like this happening again.

Tee hee! 7 signs you're infected with Harry Potter fever. One of them is if you have an HP tat and they have pictures, LOL! You probably have to scroll way down the page to get the article (unless it's just on my computer.)

I actually got the British edition in Salzburg. No lines no hubhub, and with only one store opening 1 hour early.

There WAS a Harry Potter Filmfestival with the first four movies showing in German starting at 6 pm Friday and ending at 4:30 am Saturday, with the option to buy the book at 1:01 am . Too bad there wasn't any public transportation running at the time!

FINISHED the book and loved it. The British edition only had 607 pages and I'm wondering if it is the same as the American. They are different publishers!

Happy Reading everyone!

My but my plans changed from what I posted above! My dh ended up coming home from his tournament at 2 am - WITH the book for me! He stopped on his way home to get it and ended up with some posters and a Gryfindor bracelet/band too. So, at 7:00 am Saturday I started reading...but had to stop since dh was home and our plans changed. I wasn't home much the rest of the weekend so I didn't finish the book until 10:17 pm last night - way to late to call anyone else to see what they thought of it and to discuss! I'm very happy that I remained spoiler free (stayed off the internet completely for the weekend and Monday - and didn't watch TV at all) and found the book to be EXCELLENT!

My plans changed too and I was talked into going to Borders by my youngest who came out of her room at 11:50 pm. We got there around 12:20 am knowing we'd be at the back of the line since we hadn't gone earlier to get the wristband. (I started reading an interesting non fiction book called Blink while I was waiting.) I can't believe she talked me into it! Then, she read the epilogue on the way home (!) (she is 10), sliently, of course.

My oldest daughter finished it by 10 am and then slept until 4pm, I woke her up. I didn't want her to turn nocturnal! I stayed up all night the next night. I am too old for this! I really loved the book, couldn't put it down!

But the one thing that happened is that seeing the movie from book 5 and then reading book 7 confused me some.
