Hey 21 is three 7s afterall! I am so excited I found out this morning in the university library and squealed so loudly I got death stares from people studying for midterms...I am soooo happy. And then I'm really sad I really sat down and thought about this, but I can't imagine life without Harry Potter. At least we still have the movies.

Yeah, I'm in the "excited but sad" category as well. Ok...now for the planning...where should I get DH? Can I go somewhere for the weekend to have uninterrupted reading time?! Can I keep my husband from reading the news online and hearing all the spoilers?!
So, so, so, soooooooo excited!

Ahh I guess it is official now huh. Awesome, but i think that this is the most expensive book of them all. I think. Because I bought Half blood prince for less than half that price and I got it on the very first day it was out too. But anyway..good to know.

Wow, wow, wow, we finally have a release date.
And we all thought it was going to be the 7th of the 7th of the 7th.
This is just JKR letting us know that this is her baby and she is in charge.
Thankyou JKR for bringing us such a wonderful story that we have all taken to heart.
