Hary Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter

Only one sleep to go!!!!!!!! :happyforyou:




:dance: I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, I'm about loose control and I think I like it:dance:

sorry for the little eighties moment - I'm not sure what came over me

i have not read a harry book as yet.. i only saw my first harry movie the other night when it was on TV.. i think that ill have to get into it..

dont like missing out on things!

we love 80's moments!

me too Nessa :D

I just got a book voucher for my birthday, so I'm going to have to get a copy... haven't preordered one though, so I hope they won't sold out everywhere...

I have been enjoying watching it on tv for the past few weeks too :)

I never pre order, cos the queue to picj them up is always longer than the regular queue (wekk it is at my bookshop)

I want to know, when larger retailer slash the prices (on has it for about $25 I think) is it just their own profit margin that the difference affects?

I just watched the thrid movie last night, it was pretty cool. I don't really expect it to be as good as the book, films rarely are, plus then it'd be a minseries!

My DH is getting me a copy from work - should have heard me squeal when he gave me the THIS IS IT 21.07.07 blue rubber wrist band the other day!!!
Ive only got book one and the first dvd too -(borrowed the others to read from friends) its my birthday on the 30th - have asked for the books and dvds from everyone! Hee hee!

Did none of you then not download it from the internet ?

I didn't know that. I haven't looked at it but i know DH has. I guess we will know tomorrow.

Michelle, there's no way I'd look at the one on the internet, for me the internet could never replace the experience that is snuggling up with a good book and a hot drink in winter (or cool drink in summer). I'd rather dely gratification and read the real book...

IKWYM Dachlostar i like to read a good book that way also.

I was watching Sunrise this morning and apparently JK Rowlings has said that the internet leaked version is a true copy but I dont' wait to spoil anything, i want to read it myself from cover to cover.

My SIL just called to see if Viv would be interested in going into Fed Square for the book launch. It starts at 8am but there are lots of things on - dress ups, face painting, roving performers - apparently aerial broom sequence too. I'm going to ask her when I pick her up from school but I know she'll say yes. I almost want to go too, but not sure how Blake will enjoy it. Hmmm, will talk to DH to see if we all go. I have a purple floor length cape I could wear, with a black dress underneath. I'd dress up with the best of them

I can't believe it!

DP has said that under no circumstances am I allowed to get it until Monday :(

Apparently we have lots of work to do this weekend and he doesn't want me saying "just one more chapter" over and over so that we don't get anything done.

I think I will have to turn off the TV and radio all weekend so that I don't know what is going on.

Not happy Jan!

Aw TaffyLou, hope you can hold out till Monday!

I'm getting mine tomorrow... Have a GTT test on Monday (2 and a half hours at Pathology Clinic!) so I know what I'll be doing! :) My challenge will be not finishing the book before Monday!

Not long now...

I can't believe that people would bother leaking it. From what I have seen it isn't like they are even gaining anything from it. It just spoils it for everyone.

Someone i guess thought they was being clever but you still need to buy the book to get most of the story as it was only so many pages leaked.

Toys R Us have it on sale for $19.99. Not sure if that is a good price but you have to buy something else as well.

Was there footage of J.K Rowling say the online was real? Because as far as I know she wasn't confirming or denying any of the ones online. Unless there is video footage or audio footage I'd put it down to ppl messing with others enjoyment. No surprise there though.

I was just going to wander on down to get a copy about 11am tomorrow - or is that a stupid idea? I just want to read the thing, not muck around in queues!

I'd head down mid morning Lulu, it will be quieter (only just) then!

I work in a shopping centre and are pleasantly suprised at all the co-operative harry fans..it isnt as hideous as the toysale customers.

DH was in the queue at Fed Square to get the book at the big launch there. DD was running around with her aunty having a ball with all the activities1

Went to the booklaunch this morning in Borders Parramatta - kept waking up every two hours to look at the time - arrived around 7.30 and realised I didn't have my purse - lucky my friends were there and Borders had the info for my preorder - DH came to the rescue with my purse around about 8:45 and then scampered quickly away to the nearest bookshop to wait for me away from the crowds - my stress levels went down immediately!

It was fantastic to see all the people dressed up and all the students and ex-students from our school.

I got the book at 9:15 and I got a lovely owl!!

DH and I had a deal that I wanted to finish it this weekend - my sister in law beat me by finishing at 5.30pm - I finished at 7.15pm!!

No spoilers I promise until more people have read the book...but I am having a happy Harry day :D (may also have been the chocolate I ate when I was reading the book).

Enjoy!!

How full on is the Harry Potter Hype! It's so full on I actually discovered 3 owls in my backyard last week. Real ones!!!!!!
