Awwww... I really expected it on 7th.
=/
And is it just me, but I don't see a significance in the 21st. It's probably just a random day she wanted to make her own... but still.
Ah well. I'm happy that we have a set date now.

So this is going to come out the same month as the movie. Wow, that'll be an exciting month for Harry Potter fans. Is it just me or is all happening so quickly? I never thought this is the direction the books would be headed with horcruxes and such. For me it's all a little to focused on Voldemort and while he is the villan it's like... not what I originally wanted.

Oh my word. How exciting, how sad, how thrilling, and how melloncolly I feel about book 7. I am so anxious, but so worried about the outcome. We'll all just have to wait and see.

Wahoo!!! Finally the release date is set...it's very very exciting but also kind of sad as it's the last book...and the fact that a helpline is set up doesn't sound very cheerful. But no matter what I know this will be an awesome book!!! I can't wait!

Oh My God! I can't believe the last book is really coming out!
I would've preferred it to come out a little later in the summer, not so soon after OotP because then i'd have something to look forward to.

I think it's quite a clever release date - just soon enough after the film that people will still be hyped up and wanting more of Harry Potter, but long enough after the film's release that a lot of people will have already seen it and therefore won't not go because they are reading the book.

Oh my god! I'm sooooo excited. I was really annoyed that pretty much everyone else got to see the film before us Aussies, but if you look at it now, we're actually quite lucky, the film gets released one week before the book gets released. Twice the excitement! Yay!!!!

Thank goodness that it's coming out in the summer because I have loads of homework from school and I would like to re-read books one to six followed by HPDH in the right order.
