AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Oh my goodness. It comes out just slightly over a week after Order of the Phoenix. That will be Harry Potter Heaven for us.
I am going to be sobbing when I finish the book though :(

Best news for 2007!
So far :) The only thing that can beat that is -- Ron staying alive and becoming a hero + Ron and Hermione getting together -- in that last book! For me, of course :D

AHHHHH I'm so excited!!! I'm glad she didn't go for the cheesy marketing campaign of 7/7/07. This way it's less obvious but still meaningful by the 7th month of the year in '07. Also, it's nice of her to put the book out after the movie, since it will give the movie hype 2 weeks to calm down. If Harry dies in DH (which I don't believe he will), it's good that we won't have to walk into OotP opening night after learning his fate.
I am satisfied, and extremely happy :)

I can't belive it, the Harry Potter series is coming close to an end!
What fantastic news, but I must admit it is with a bit of sadness in my voice at the same time!
A fantastic day for Harry Potter fans!

I came to work to find an e-mail from B&N stating that very thing this morning! :o)
There is also a deluxe edition, Geri. That one will be $45.50 at Barnes and Noble (savings of 30% off the list price), and members pay $40.95. I might have to get them both! :o)
