Oh no...I will be on vacation then. I'll be driving up the coast of California. I usually get the book the first second it's out.

I am really amazed that the last book and the fifth movie are being released so close together.
At last, all of Potterdom will have our answers to all the questions burning our hearts.
Should be an interesting summer...

I found out about the release date completely unceremoniously. I'd rather have found out through here, like I always do.
I was sitting at the table, eating my cereal this morning, when all of a sudden the announcer people on the Today show mention HPDH. And I freak out. What else are they going to say but that the release date has been revealed? Yep, July 21, they say. I almost choked up my corn flakes.
But even though I didn't find out through here, I'm still sooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYY!!! July 21 is my new favorite date! :P

oh my gawd!!!!!!!! I am so thrilled. I'm surprised it's not the seventh, though.
I'm actually a little sad in a way though, as this is the last book.
But, thank you Jo!!

This is AWESOME! I was getting online to submit my accounting homework and the headline immediately caught my eye. Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a year this will be for all of us fans - a movie AND a book. Although, I have to admit I'm a bit sad--this is the last Harry Potter book we'll get to read *sniff sniff* Well I'm going to savor what we have. This is the best news I've had in a month. I've already pre-ordered mine! Yay!

Too bad about missing the auspicious 07/07/07, but at least now we know. My sister Snapesorceress rang me with the news while I was looking up glycemic index info and she was in her jammies. We agreed that we can die satisfied on August 1st. But it will be terribly sad to have the great adventure end. Jo has given us a great gift and I thank her for it.

A moment of great joy and sorrow.
We will know the story in full, and have to hope beyond hope Rowling might return to Hogwarts someday in the future.
