*Big sigh* I am SOOO excited that we finally know. This has just made my day even more than it already was made because we had a snow day today - and yes, teachers get excited about snow days, too.
I do feel a little sadness knowing that it's officially coming to an end now... it's bittersweet, isn't it? But mostly, right now, SWEET! :)

I can't believe that the book is coming out within 8 days of the OoP film! This is unbelieveable! July is going to be a money making month for the HP organization. I'm gonna have to save my money for that month! I hope the book is less costly at stores like WalMart. $35.00 is a lot of money for book when I have to buy text books and tuition for college too. But I have to have it! So, I'll pay it if I have to! Can't wait!

At least it's out soon! I was hoping it would be... but i'm a little disappointed that she didn't release it on the 7/7/07 because that was, in my opinion, a perfect day and it couldn't have been that hard to speed up so she could make that extra 2 week deadline.
