First thoughts:
Great, excellent!! Ok, better than excellent. I especially cannot wait for the release!
Now I think:
That's a lot more than the other Potter books. I can't wait to see how long it is!
I also have less time to re-read the series. I have to get started because I definatly don't know how long it'll take me being busy and all. I definatly thought it would come out next year so I didn't even need to worry about it.
