Have you gotten the new Harry Potter?

[Lacey]

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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 ) 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!

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!

[Jods]

I read it yesterday!! It was great can't wait to find someone who read it already that I can talk to about it!!

[countrycowgirl]

I got my Copy on Saturday didn't get to start reading it til yesterday and just finished!! wow!!is all I can say!

[Suki Wingy]

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.

[Oggyflute]

I manged to finish the book in one sitting 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.
