AHH this is so exciting I literally was in class and jumped for joy. Kind of ironic though with all of the sevens appearing everywhere.

Two days before my birthday!!! Squeeeeee!!!
Best Birthday Present Ever. Period.
Bad news is that $35 is a lot of money to pay for a book, and I feel like they're taking advantage of us crazed Potter fans who would pay any amount of money to get ahold of the thing.
But whatever--still the Best Birthday Present Ever.
Toodles!!

O.M.GGG!!!!!!!!!!! :-)) Soooo excited!! L.o.L from my reaction at reading that, my parents thought I'd received another Uni offer.. L.o.L, they don't seem to think this is quite as good :-/.
Can't wait!! Although, it is kinda scary at the same time to think that by August this year, we'll have no more waiting and speculating to do. :(

Yeeees! And to think I was worried that the release wouldn't be until next year. (After all, we knew the title of book 5 way before it was released...)
I can't wait, and yet...that will be the end. I can't believe it. I've grown up with Harry, and as Harry and friends are graduating from Hogwarts, I'm graduating from High School. :( All good things must come to an end. (Man, I hate that expression!)

It's it all exciting!!!???!!! I found out quite a fair few hours ago when on Leaky and have been talking to a friend all night about it (it's like 6:35am here in Australia). It's so soon, I mean in less than 6 months we'll have the book in our hands. Scary that afterwards there will be no more speculation etc.
Oh and I never got why a lot of people were keen on the 7th. I mean I know WHY they were but honestly, the 7th's the anniversary of the London bombing. I never thought they (bloomsbury) would release it on that day.

I fairly disappointed that she isn't releasing it on July 7, 2007. I am excited for the release in general however.

Finally! Yayyy!
July 21st...i can't wait!
i think people were keen to have it realeased on the 7th, becuase it would then be book 7 released on the 7/07/07... not because of the bombings..
But i knew they weren't going to release it before OOTP came out...

I'm so sad. I hoped it would be longer - summer of 08. I mean, I'm very curious about the book, but I really don't want it so soon. And why didn't the door open? She just made a news post? This doesn't seem right - for the last...the final installment...it should be something special, at least the door...
