Omg...Michelle, are you serious? Argh...Not cool. I'm trying to not finish the book tonight, lol, trying to "save it" ..."savour it"... Doubt that will work. Anyway. So far I noticed Harry's attitude change...In the beginning some of it was quite amusing, I was like Harry said that!?  Overall, Michelle...Was it just as good as the others? I didn't savour it . . .I just wanted to read it. It's very different, but still very very good. I don't want to say anything more, because I have a tendency to soil everything.  |

I didn't go to bed until 8:30 this morning I was reading so much. Slept 6 hours then finished it at 6:30 today. I agree it's *really* different from the others. Tell me when yall are done so I can ask you something... Wow! I've only stayed up until 3 in the morning, hmm.. I wimp out, even though I really want to finish the book! (Well, part of me does..the other part wants to not ever finish  ;D) |

Ohh okay then... I'm nearly done. Chapter 31... Ohh part of me can't put it down, and then the other part..."Save it! Savour it! The next book won't be out for *ages*..." Argh...Self-conflicting ideas....  |

That's exactly how I am.. I stopped after the second page in Chapter 36, though. It was upsetting me too much.   to the Death Eaters! |

I know...I've never had to wait for her books before until now...I just got into this last summer. But maybe it will be a shorter time now that JKs had the baby. Or not.

Eh.. Well, they used to come out yearly. About 5, 6 years ago, my grandma was transferred to work in Kansas every week (and on weekends she'd come back to NY...With gifts..) and she brought my brother Sorcerer's Stone, saying it had just come out and she'd heard it was good. I initially looked at it in disgust, as I was pretending to be some kind of elf from Lothlorien at the time. But after I finished 'Rings', I was so bored. I didn't have a book to read...So, finally, I picked up Sorcerers Stone...And I couldn't put it down. It was like...magic. So then, Chamber of Secrets came out the next year. Azkaban came out the year after that..Then Goblet of Fire the next year. (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000) ...And it was hell waiting each summer for the next book. But it was only one year, so it wasn't that bad. But after getting it (from the Fed-Ex guy  ), I'd always feel this void... and I always felt like I wanted to get out of here, and be somewhere else. Anyway. Waiting for Phoenix was *most* horrible. It's been three years...Three long years... I really hope she gets back into her 'yearly groove' so we don't have to wait forever again. |

GoF was the first I waited for..and I was SO happy when I got it.. my mom introduced me to the books in...6th grade, I think. Either 1999 or 2000. Right now I'm just taking in everything that happened. but I think what upsets me the most is that there's only going to be 2 more after this and I can't go to Hogwarts Anyone else dream of going there? Lol! I think it'd be incredibly awesome..ahh.. I love how Rowling adds in all these reasons why Muggles have no idea that wizards and witches exist. I pretend they're real  |
