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.

The last one in the series...6 months ago...I'll defer my reading of The Tempest and all the reading list for the 2nd year...I'll try my hands at translating some passages. There will certainly be lots of unanswered questions...

Woweeeeee! I am so excited about this book even more now!! *squee* But I am also feeling sad as once I have read it that will be it...no more Harry Potter books! I mean, we'll still have the films to look forward to, but there will be no more new things to look forward to, no more new adventures. But let's look on the bright side...we have a release date, WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I am so ELATED! When July gets closer I am going to be beside myself... like two summers ago. The release date of HPHBP and HPDH is sooo close to my birthday that I take it as a personal treat. My birthday is the 19th of July and HPHBP was released 3 days before my birthdya and HPDH will be released to days after my birthday! It's kind of bittersweet. It the most anticipated book and yet it's the last and end to the Harry Potter Series.
