Can't wait...I'm at page 515 of the 5th book. I'm trying to get through the 5th and 6th again in time for the 5th movie and 7th book. I've been reading Harry Potter since 4th grade...can't believe this is the last one.

We're finishing up Order on the audiobooks...

My six year old daughter loves them...we just picked up HBP at the library. we have about 20 hours of Potter to go to get her caught up. Then I think my wife is going to read book 7 to her (she's read the first four to her) after she is finished reading it for herself first, of course.

Going to try to go to the movie on opening night, but want to finish Order first...hadn't read that one in a while.

My first year of college, I was a pothead. Now I'm a Potthead. :shrug:

Don't worry Donald, I am really looking forward to the new book as well. I couldn't sleep until I finished the last one.

Just pre-ordered this on Amazon...they are guaranteeing delivery on the 21st for standard shipping, or it's free.

I pre-ordered it at borders.com for $14 off. I can't wait. I was going to read book 6 but decided just to skim through it. I'll read that one again before the movie so I can do more complaining when that comes next year. :)

Just finished Spinners End (chapter two) of book 6...coming home from work and listening to it as we get dinner ready, then sitting on the couch and relaxing with our 6 year old daughter while the 4 year old boy plays with toys (not interested).

I walked out of the house this morning with my ipod on and my daughter says in horror "Daddy! Don't listen to Harry Potter without me!" and I laughed and said no, we'll do that when I get home. She then walks me to the door talking about Snape and Malfoy and what Voldemort wants Malfoy to do, etc. She's a riot...she follows everything so closely and gets it all. I'm a little surprised...we pause it and ask her questions, and she gets it all right all the time.

We've got 9 days to finish 16 more discs. Hopefully this weekend we can knock off a bunch of them.

I am terrified someone I really like is going to get snuffed in this book.

I can deal with it if it's Harry...only because plot wise it would be necessary if it plays out the way I think it might.

Ron...I'd be kind of upset. Hagrid too. :(

If JK kills off Hermione though, I will be incredibly sad. I'm worried she might, and I don't know why. Having re-read these last few books, and working on 6 right now I realize that she is completely my favorite character of the lot.

If Harry Potter dies one book after Dumbledore, I will curse JK's ancestors. :)

DD, a friend of mine has a two year old who watched the movie and then proceeded to wait by the window calling for Harry, Ron, and Hermione to come visit him.

D-Dogg's daughter put an expecto patronum spell on me when she was two.
