Well, that was weird. No door opening? Very matter-of-fact sounding. Not Jo-like at all. Maybe she's not happy about having to announce it yet?
Yea, the books coming this year. Yea.

Hmmmm..July 21st. Well, it's a little bitter sweet to have the release date. It's great to know when it is coming out, but a little sad to know that it will be the last one. I guess July is looking like HP month.

Ok. So I get to work and I sign on to HPANA like I do everyday when out pops "RELEASE DATE FOR 7TH BOOK".
And I screamed. And I was looked at with awkward faces and I really don't care right not if they fire me. THE 7th BOOK HAS A COUNTDOWN! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
This is bittersweet. Finally the answers thats been burning our hearts since Sorceror's/ Philosopher's Stone.
The end of an era.
Our kids and their kids will have all the books with them when they decide to read them. They won't got throught the suspense and agony of waiting little over a year for the book. It is the end of 7 amazing years and memories.
I thank JK Rowling, the entire cast of Harry Potter and everyone out there that smiles at the sound of anything Harry Potter.
