Harry PotterThe days are counting down, people are setting up their counters till July 21st. George Bush is asking that we set our flags at half mass, Fidel is canceling all Golf playing excursions for that day, and every living being that reads Harry Potter is severing their connections to that outside world for just one day.
What will you be doing? Reading? Sleeping from having to stay up so long to receive your copy?
Also, theories? Is Harry really a horcrux? Is McGonagall really Voldemort's most loyal servant? Is Snape really evil or good?

Midnight party and giant reading party with some of my Drama troupe.

My friend Megan is hosting what she calls, "Potterpolooza" and it's going to be the biggest Potter party this area has ever known. Well, that we've ever known. It's going to be before the movie though, as she couldn't handle a party on the night of the book's release, though I know her and two other friends are going with me to get our copies.

I'm getting the book preordered (hey why not? cheaper then getting it after it comes out) and I'm not partying until AFTER I read the book. That way I know what happened, and I can celebrate the whole series.

I think it's actually cheaper if you wait to get it. Heh, but who can honestly wait that long?! Not I, I don't have the power to do so.

Willpower is overrated. If you give into things early, you don't have to deal with the guilt.

Well I just hope that Rowling knows how to finish off a great series.

She wrote the last chapter before the first book. I think she's got a great idea.

She better.

I have a lot of faith that she'll end it with our mouths dropping. IF not, we can always sail the Atlantic and find Rowling. I am not above revenge.

On a radio interview overhear she said that although she did write the last chapter first, it has been edited and changed numerous times since then. She described it as going through a circular loop of evolution, from one ending to another then back to the original with minor changes that were forced with the writing of the previous 6.

It's what I do. I always write the first and last chapters of a project so I know where to start and where to end. The rest is just fillers.

Same here.
Pre-ordering the book here is twenty dollars cheaper than buying it when it comes out. I'd be an idiot not to pre-order it.

$15 cheaper here. It takes about a year I would say for stuff to really get cheaper (unless you go on ebay or something like that.
I wrote a series which you can buy on www.lulu.com. I had a basic idea what I wanted it to end with, but, I didn't write the last chapter first. I actually wrote the last book before the others.

Actually, I knew someone who bought the book a day later and got it cheaper than I did with pre-ordering.

The last book.

So I just realized that all harry potter madness begins next tuesday for me, I am seeing the movie. My friend megan has moved her party to the friday after, then there's harry and the potters coming for a concert, then the book on the twenty first. I honestly don't know what I will do with myself for two weeks. I am sure I'll be happy every day leading up to the book, and when I actually receive it I may need help getting out of the bookstore because I'll be too weak to carry myself out.

"Too weak." That's a good one, lol. I am not pre-ordering it or anything. I just can't be bothered. I'm not a huge fan, and will get the book whenever I got the money...
It comes out the day AFTER my birthday. Grr.
