a midnight release party for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in New York on July 20th.

Aw, that'd be so cool!!! But I'm nowhere near New York, so I'll just be happy getting the book someplace nearby. What really matters is having a copy of that book in my hands at midnight.

How is it that every time something happens in my area I have something more important to do and can't make it. Of course I have to be studying for the bar exam.

That will be a great event for those lucky enough to attend. I wonder if Stephen Fry will be at such a party in London?

How lucky to be the first person to read the book and know how it ends? I wish he could tell us about it, but I know he is sworn to secrecy. It is getting closer and closer to the release of the book. I can not wait!

That would be a great party to attend, I hear Jim Dale is fabulous with the audio versions! But, alas, I will be just flying home from Disney World, so I'm unable to attend. Oh, poor me! (Just kidding, I think I will survive.)

Wow, that would be fun to go to. I only have one of the audiobooks and I don't even listen to it that often, but it would be cool to hear how he decides to do the voices and such.

I have never heard Jim Dale's narration - my two that I own have been narrated by Stephen Fry. I've heard that his narration is far superior! I may have to also buy Deathly Hallows on spoken CD as well....
Lucky, lucky New Yorkers!!

I would love to be able to go to this, but I can't!! It sounds like it is gonig to be a really good time. I have never listened to the narrated books, but I have always heard how good they are.

Cool! I won't be there, first because I'm not into the same country, and second because I'll be waiting for my book, but it would be a good opportunity.

A very cool pre-release activity! I'm sure many, many fans will turn up for Jim Dale! I'm still waiting to see if anything even halfway as cool is happening in my area (Chicago) this time around.

Wowie, how I'd love to go. (Not as much as I'd like to go to London though, but still.) I'll be in Boston the day of the release. Sigh. Hopefully there'll be some good ol' midnight line/ party-waiting stuff there before the book, something I've never, previous to this, enjoyed due to my geographical location :P

A real shame I can't get to NY to hear Jim Dale in person. The audio books are amazing. It's hard to believe that one guy does all those voices. Anyone who hasn't listened to the audio books should really try to do so. You won't be disappointed.
