It is so fantastic to finally find out when the book is gonna come out. I can NOT wait for July to be here. First the movie, and pretty much 2 weeks later, the book comes out. It'll be an exciting month.
Although, with all this preorder stuff going on, I can't decide where to buy the book. I want to get the book as soon as possible. I might just go with Walmart just so I can get it within the hour of the release even though I dislike the store.

Aww, I wish it was on the seventh! That would've been cool. I wanted to go to the States to go to a release party, but I'm going just a few days too late, so I might have to ask one of the bookstores here to have one! I don't think they'll listen to me, but I should try at least.

Wow. The midnight party will be on a Saturday. That means I'll be able to go because I won't have camp the next day. And two weeks after my 14th birthday, too! 7/21/2007 will also be my cousin's 14th birthday!

I cannot even begin to describe my reaction to this news; on the one hand, I am unbelievably excited that the book is coming and on the other, I am dreading it. It will mark the end of an era.

I'm pretty excited to read the seventh book this summer. Even though I know that it is the end of the series, I know that there will probably still be questions to ponder. Hopefully, J.K. will decide to write a Harry Potter Encyclopedia or something.
