Who can't wait for the new Harry Potter?

[tigereye]

there is great excitement at my house, not quite as much as when the last book came out. But we are rereading the end of the last book to get in the mood!

Who's with me, and who is horrified? ;)

[ET Awful]

1. I can wait :). I want to read it, but I can wait :) I preordered it

and it should be here on whatever the release date is, but I'm not gonna have a heart attack over it :)

[tigereye]

10. we ordered it to come that day

just like last time. It was really cool!

[mondo joe]

2. We mention it at least once a day, and our 2 copies are reserved.

Even with 2 copies we're at odds on who gets to read when.

[flamingyouth]

3. I've had mine on order since the issue date was announced.

:blush:

[tigereye]

11. yay!

great minds think alike. They are wonderful books!

[Richardo]

4. See my self-pitying thread of this morning....

[tigereye]

19. ah, just go have a mimosa after!

if you don't have to go back to work, that is. ( or even if you do, right?) :)

[Wickerman]

5. Me, yet I will be standing in line Friday night

surrounded by a billion HP freaks in costume, 100 miles from home. Such is the love of a father for a daughter.

[tigereye]

12. I love that the books are so much fun for kids

and for adults! I love that the kids read 600 plus page books more than once!

[Telly Savalas]

37. Me too.

But it'll only be two miles from home, and it's for my wife not my daughter.

[Blue-Jay]

6. I'll probably read it sooner or later.

No big rush, though. I like the HP series in the same manner that I like junk food. Good, but I don't think I want a steady diet of it.

[tigereye]

29. you can read it to Proles while she recovers

assuming that is what she would want to hear....

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Pre-ordered and should have it on Saturday!

[WhollyHeretic]

8. I just finished rereading The Order of the Phoenix

I can't wait for the book to come out. Though I thought the whole thing was rather silly when Goblet of Fire came out. I had never read the books and thought it was pretty funny when one of my friends at work was reading it as well as one of the owner's (who was in her late 60's). My friend finally got me to read one and I love the series.

[tigereye]

14. I was actually skeptical at first

my husband had read them when our boy was small and then we started reading them to him... and I found them very agreeable and funny.

[Trigger Hippie]

9. I'm excited about it, but I have to read

the last couple books to refresh my memory. I probably won't read the new one until things have died down a bit. I will check it out at the library, so it'll take a while for me to get it.

:)

[tigereye]

16. we are reading the last few chapters of Order of the Phoenix

I had forgotten how exciting and nerve-racking it was!

[Trigger Hippie]

20. I've definitely forgotten

what goes on in that book. Must. Reread. Now.

:)

[hfojvt]

13. I can wait forever for the new Voldemort

I quit reading after book four.

[tigereye]

24. hmmm

yeah, he doesn't ever seem to go away does he?

[Zuni]

15. my stepfather

he LOVES everything Harry Potter

[tigereye]

26. that is very cool!

gawd, I feel like a cheerleader!

[supernova]

17. Me! Me! Me! It'll be my birthday!

:D :party:

[tigereye]

21. cool!

Happy Birthday Nova! Mine is tomorrow, fellow Cancerian!

[GumboYaYa]

18. Me, me, me... my daughter and I will be at the book store at

midnight. We did that for the last one as well. She has recently reread the whole series to be ready for the new one.

[tigereye]

22. I have met kids who have read all of the books

6,7,8 times. I love that!

[GumboYaYa]

30. My daughter is nine.

The first Harry Potter book was the first chapter book that we read to her. Now she has read the whole series twice herself and is reading the first book to her little brother right now (and I mean literally right now).

We credit the series of books for making her the avid reader she is.

[tigereye]

32. great!

my son is 9, he does read some of them, but mostly he wants us to.

[gollygee]

23. First thing Saturday morning I intend to run out and get that book

I'll run out at midnight Friday if I'm still up.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

25. ME!!!

I totally want to go to Barnes & Noble's Midnight Magic party... but I'm thinking that since I'm 18, that's sort of not cool at my age. :D

[tigereye]

28. well

my ex-babysitter and his college- age and grad school friends all dressed up to go to the last party... so you aren't too old!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

34. I wanna do it

But I am trying to find one of my friends who will do it. I know one of them would but she's most likely already pre-ordered the book...

[RubyDuby in GA]

27. Totally ready. Preordered. Picking up at midnight

and reading all night.

Word to the wise kiddies out there. Stay outta my way until I get my copy. I'm not above pushing small children out of my way :)

[deadparrot]

31. I'm excited.

I'm anxious to read it, but I almost don't want to, knowing there'll probably be a 2-ish year wait for the final book. And then that's it. I kind of want to prolong the story as much as possible, I suppose. :)

[Saphire]

33. re-readind Order of the phoenix. I have to wait until my daughter

is finished with the new one, then it'll be my turn..YIPEEE

have it pre-ordered.

[mcar]

35. Pre-ordered and can't wait for Saturday

n/t

[Debi]

36. I'm standing in line at midnight, baby!

And reading all weekend long!

(Except for the time I take out to go to Charile and the Chocolate Factory! :woohoo:)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

40. Are you going to dress up?

I'm thinking about dressing up as Prof. Trelawney :D

[malmapus]

38. Been re-reading the series.

I should finish OoTP in time to pick up and start into HBP :D

[MissHoneychurch]

39. I have to wait till fall till the new one comes out

stupid German translation :cry:

but my mom's bf ordered the Englsih copy. So I guess I will read it in English :)

[MN ChimpH8R]

41. Ready and waiting

I will be heading to Borders or B&N on Saturday. Rereading "Order of the Phoenix" now to get in the mood.

I thought the whole thing was sort of silly until my best friend's wife (she's a history Ph.D.) talked me into reading the first one. Then I was hooked. I owe her big time for that.
