Oh so excited. I'm on vacation and we leave Saturday so hopefully somewhere in there I'll be able to pick up a copy. I don't think I'm going to leave the house until I finish it because I'm deathly afraid that I'll overhear people discussing it, haha.

That's what happened to me with the last book. Some jerk just started yelling about Dumbledore. I was SO upset.

I'm totally excited. I've had it pre-ordered since February *blush*. But yeah, I'm positively DYING to find out what happens.

Hehe, I'm still peeved that she killed Dumbledore, so the excitement is lessened for me.

Okay, so I finished it already. I finished it in less than 24 hours, but not all of those were reading. Only about 8.5 were reading. It was INCREDIBLE. I cried. A lot of people died. But it was, after Order of the Phoenix, my absolute favorite. Totally emotional. Dark, but good. Ooooh I wanna give it away, but I won't. I just can't believe it's over. Very sad, as I grew up with them. I'll just have to reread them periodically!! lol.

Yeah I finished mine last night. It feels so strange that everything is over. I feel like I've lost a part of myself or something, as pathetic as that seems. And the epilogue seemed really strange to me, I'm actually surprised she did that. I'd say a lot more, but I don't want to give anything away. People are already creating Facebook groups and stuff and it's coming up on my minifeed when people join, I'm just glad I finished it because I know it's going to keep leaking out like that. I would rather have read it slowly, though.

I would rather have read it slowly, though. That reminds me.. has anyone ever come across people who read Harry Potter books as fast as they can and act like it's some kind of competition on "Who can read the fastest??" because there's a lot of pages in them? "I'm on Chapter 6 already!" (By the way, I'm not classifying you as one of those people.)

haha! I'm just a fast reader in general. It's funny, though, my aunt called me to ask me what page I was on . I was almost finished when she called, and she was on 300-something. It wasn't really a competition, though, just so we could discuss what had happened.

Yeah, my friend was all proud of having finished it at like 5am the morning after it was released.

I assure you, this isn't the latest Potter book spoiler. It's about the previous book, actually. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ossbPGIVikUQuite mean. But I still found it funny. "You bitch! You bitch!" xD
