My sister went to buy it now, but I think she wont be able to get it...:( only about 8000 copies were sent to Argentina, so I think it will be sold out...
Just got home with it. I reserved our copy back in March.
Not yet. Last time I pre-ordered it from Amazon, and I paid about $10 more for it to come 2 days after the release date. (June 23, instead of June 21st, which was alright because it was waiting for me as I walked in from my last day of school. Such a wonderful thing to see!)
This year I haven't pre-ordered it or reserved it, but I'm sure it will be at Wal-Mart or Superstore when I (hopefully) go into church tonight. I can barely wait!
We just got back from Barnes & Noble... We didn't even reserve it, and there were plenty of copies :)
Not yet, but I plan to pick one up when I get home from this trip.
I have it!!! :DI'm sooo happy, I cant wait to read it, but I have a little problem: I dont remember what happened on the fifth book very much:confused: so I'll read it again before starting with the new book...
Yes, I was handed a copy at approximatley 12:05 am this mornig and read until the sun came up, then slept for 3 hours, then got up to go do barn work. I am about 1/4 through, and all of my predictions are showing correct so far! I was soooo exited while reading it.
edit: Anita's mommy, I have read it 4 times, twice this summer in preparation for HBP, would you like me to quote- I mean summarize it for you?
Nope.. not yet.
I'm a really slow reader. I started reading the fifth book when it came out. I'm on page 4 now. :p LOL I'm forcing myself to read the fifth one asap so I can get to the sixth one. People have been posting spoilers all over.. it's driving me crazy.
If you want I can pm you basically a summary of the 5th book.
It would be great if you can do it!! I dont want to read the 5th, I just want to start the 6th book NOW!!!! Im remembering some things, but I think that I forgot some important details.... Some day I'll read them all again, really slowly...so that I never forget nothing:rolleyes:
I got the book 5 hours ago....and just finished it. :o :p
I reserved my copy in May and I'm getting it tomorrow.
Anita's Mom (sorry I don't know your name) I'm typing up a summary to pm to you.
oh wow!! Sounds like me with the fifth book :oQuote:

I'm a bit dissapointed though... This one's only 652 pages, while the fifth was like, 800 something pages! :( I was expecting this one to be even bigger! :p
Just finished it. Only one thing to say without giving out spoilers.
Woooooow....
YES! I got mine! And I was SO close to NOT getting it!!!
We went to Superstore. I saw it there, picked one up and obsessed about it until we got to the checkout. My mom said we were going to Wal-Mart and she'd rather we buy it there, because she could then put it on this supposedly huge gift card she has for Wal-Mart. So...we went to Wal-Mart, and I looked for it but couldn't see it. Funny, I though. Wouldn't it be right at the front? I saw a sign for it, but nothing else. I made a rectangle in the store and couldn't find it, so I finally asked an employee and she said THE SHIPMENT DIDN'T COME. I RAN to find my dad, VERY frantic, because we NEEDED to go back to Superstore. It was closing in FIFTEEN MINUTES. Now, I hope this doesn't make me sound like a spoiled brat, I am usually not a demanding child like this, but I had no idea when we would next be going into Yorkton and I NEEDED that book! EEE! So...we went, and I got it...and I was SO RELIEVED.
RIght now I'm on Page 17. I've been home with it for about 40 minutes and I am trying to stay away from it. I think there are magnets in both of us though, because it keeps pulling me in. I am trying to resist. I want it to last as long as possible, but I also want to go on all of 'my' sites and read everything, without having to worry about spoilers. Also, I need to have discussions about it!
I am so disappointed that it is only 607 pages. (UK version, which is what Canada has). The 5th was 766 I belive. I knew that it was going to be "a lot shorter" than the 5th, according to J.K. I was actually surprised it was 607, but still a little bit disappointed.
Oh well. It looks small but I'm trying to convince myself that the paper just keeps getting thinner every year. :p
:eek: OMG.Quote:

Woooooow....
I'll be reading it for weeks! (when i finally save up enough fricking money to buy it)You read fast!
I couldnt wait to remember the 5th book, so I started the 6th, and I read two chapters.... O my gosh, its getting really good... but I'll try to stop reading it at the moment so that I can know well everything about the fifth... so.. thank you, Suky Wingy for the summary!!!!:D
Anyways, I have to share the book with my sister, and she's reading it now...so I have to wait until she finishes to read it!
Everyone looked at us with envy when we walked out of the store holding 3 books, but I bought one with my own money, and my dad bought one for the family and one for my aunt for her 21st b-day, it wasthe 16th. Does anyone read of write fanfiction? I read it but not write.
Who's Harry Potter? ;)
He was one of the FIREMEN at Gini's BBQ :D :D :DQuote:

My Mum bought the new book today, so when she finishes it, I will read it.
Thanks to you all posting - and no-one has given anything away. I really appreciate it!!!!
Reserved a copy and it was delivered to my hotel room in Chicago on Friday night. :D
I'm a few chapters in..
No problem! Wouldn't want to spoil anything for you! It would just take away from the experience just a bit if someone where to come along and pull an, "Oh! I've read that! Isn't it great how it was the butler all along?" thing.Quote:

Though I've been just dying to get with someone else just to squeal in fangirlish glee and go, "Can you believe such-and-such happened!?"
Rowling definitely sends you on an emotional roller coaster with this book, and at the end I was sniffling (whether tears of joy or sadness, I won't say :D ) and had to pick my jaw up off the floor. And just wait until you discover the identity of the Half Blood Prince! Wowza! That one was a curveball I didn't see until it smacked me right in the face! :eek: :D
One of my best friends and I made a "pinky promise" to not peek, but my other friend CHEATED!! I told her she could just keep her trap shut about the end!;) :p
I read it yesterday!! It was great can't wait to find someone who read it already that I can talk to about it!!
I got my Copy on Saturday didn't get to start reading it til yesterday and just finished!! wow!!is all I can say!
I got to a part that made me put down the book and think. I don't remember all the details anymore bedause it was so shocking, although I new it was comming, so I have to read that chapter over.
I manged to finish the book in one sitting:D I must say the ending for those who haven't finished it, is unbelievable. A rollocking good read. I'm going to have to think about what could happen in the next book as the ending was not what I expected.
If anyone who doesn't have it yet is looking for a good deal I got mine at Target for $16.89, not sure if it is still that price though. I read some of it aloud to Alexa to keep ourselves awake from the drive returning from the CA BBQ. Now I'm off to go read some more before I go to bed.
I'm torn. Part of me wants to finish it tonight and part of me wants to keep 'putting it off'. This book has made me really sad!! I don't want it to end!! I'm on around 400 now...not quite?
EEEEh i got the book...finally :D:D I'm the third chapter..It's getting good :D
Got it yesterday, finished it last night. :) :)
I'm thinking we should do a spoiler thread to discuss the book for people who have finished it.
Good idea?
Just make sure you put "Harry Potter-SPOILER ALERT!!" in the title.:p ;)
Just to let you know, for those of you who may be .......... I was emailed a .pdf copy of the book this morning!!!!
827 pages of electronic book!!!!
*shaking my head in wonder*
Eeeei! I got Harry Potter at Target Sunday for under $17!!! Right now I'm only halfway through it but I should finish it later tonight. :)
I think thats a good idea :D Do you want to start the thread?Quote:
