HP Anyone???????????
 

Anybody gettinthe new Harry Potter book????? I unfortunatly will have to wait a while because I forgot to preorder and i will never be able to find a copy tomorrow :x

YES! I WILL HAVE IT IN... *looks at his desktop countdown thing* one day, ten hours, 4 minutes, and 30 seconds.

w00t!

I'm even going to the midnight party thing! And I won't get any sleep saturday, cause i'll be reading.

It's going to be all mine saturday! All mine! My one! My preciousssss!
Wow, I think I just blended liek 3 fandomes in 5 seconds, go me

I'll be getting it sometime this weekend. I hope to see my theories happen. Some people already have the book if you have been paying attention to the news...I hate idiots like that, they try to ruin it for others who have been waiting 3 years for this book and then know the plot the day before it's release! But 896 pages should be a nice read! :lol: :)

I don't think they said anything about the book that the author haven't said her self from what I have seen...

I'm picking up OotP on Saturday at my local Target. :D I can't wait to see what happens, these three years have been murder waiting for this!

I can't believe you people actually read Harry Potty! :roll:

Huh? Who said anything about Harry Potty?

Anyway, yes there has been quite a few spoilers already released...I won't post any, because I don't want to know them, and don't want to ruin the book for you guys either. But Daily News has released tabloids after getting the book 4 days before it's release... So Rowling and her publishers filed a $100 million lawsuit on them, hopefully they will have to pay up...those **************************** ********

Would anybody who is getting it please tell me what it's about? I heard some different stories on what's it about and just want the truth. Thanks.

I heard the book is a third longer than GoF. I thought Rowling said that GoF was going to be the longest?

I reserved a copy and I'm gonna pick it up saturday.

You guys like this ****? Some little dork with powers? Seems kinda...crappy to me.

I take it you never read the books. They are some of the best Fantasy literature to have come out in years. Awesome characters and very, very clever plotlines. (Which they dumb down in the craptacular movies. Damn you Steve Kloves!)

Honestly, I don't see liking a little kid with powers of a wizard to be any different than liking mutated turtles that fight crime with ninja powers taught to them by a rat, and I mean it in the most loving way because I love mutated turtles that fight crime with ninja powers, i am just suprised that people are giving HP such a negative response.
I agree, that often things get blown out of proportion by mass media, and I didn't read them for a long time because I tend to disagree with what majority considers "good books" or "good music", however, Harry Potter really is an amazing book, I was totally suprised when I read it, the most wondeful part is that it teaches kids to be happy with who they are and to stand by their believes and values, which is one of the main concepts I greatly respect in the TMNT universe.
And it also got kids reading again, which is wondeful in a world of TV and video games and the net.

Thought this was gonna be about Hewlett Packard for a minute...

*cringes at the phrase "Hewlett Packard"*

My thoughts exactly. Well put. :)

I can't wait!!!!! It'll be delivered right to my door, so I will probably be sitting on my steps all day waiting for the man in the brown truck :D And then read all weekend. I got the 4th book(GOF) done in 2 days.

Awee, thanks :-)
Though I just read it over and realized, MAN! I AM OLD!!! :-)

I told all my coworkers that I will be untouchble for exactly 4 days, one to read the book, one to reread all my favorite parts and anylize them, one to call all my real life friends and discuss it in great detail, and one jump on all the HP forums and Fanfiction.net and discuss it with on-line fans.
Though it's not a good enough excuse not to go to work, just to mock me about, excessivly :-( :-)
Unfortunatelly, I will be working Saturday until 5, so I won't get it until 6 or so, and I am seriously considering blowing off my plans for that nite to stay home and read HP, but.... I guess that would make me too much of a geek even for my taste :-)

Hey the books are great who cares what everyone else thinks I mean come on most of us are older then 13 and we still watch cartoons.

Good point. :lol:
I think the reason alot of people hate HP is because of how much media coverage each book and movie gets and the horrible, kiddy US covers. (I'm sorry, but I can't stand the art, except for book five, which take a turn for good where it makes it look more mature.)
