Well... This just made my day!
Just got back from school and I'm greeted with this!
There really isn't much left to say, is there?
But the annoying thing is... Belize gets the books six months behind schedule so I probably won't get to read DH until 2008... Man, that sucks...
But then again, I'll always have you guys to keep me informed...

Yessss. Trust me I will be in line to get it as soon as I can. Now all we need is for the next movie to come out. It's a pitty that after the seventh movie has come out there will be no more Harry Potter though.

I don't know whether to cheer or cry! I can't believe the series will be over in six months. And so close to the OotP movie, too. All good things must come to an end, I suppose.
Wow, I'd better get to work on my theories; there's not much time left to find clues!
