Wow, I can't believe this! Last night before going to bed I had a sudden feeling that the release date should be published around this time of the year and the feeling was so strong, I actually went and checked. It must have been by inches that I missed it!

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.

This is so cool. Finally a date. I think this is going to make for a record box office for OotP as it gets a surge from the anticipation.
