Potter 7...

[kennahijja]

Bloody hell!

Nah, I'm *not* happy with the news - the Book 7 release date of July 21 2007. I could've well waited 'til 2008 or 2009. Especially not with the OotP film coming out at just the same time - it's way too much Potter at once, and I won't be able to savour and digest either properly. And fandom probably won't be either.

Am also in distinctly two minds about being at Sectus while it happens - I prefer to bury myself in a room/secluded spot and read through a new book, and wouldn't that be a waste of time, in London with so many people to chat to? On the other hand, it could perhaps even be fun? So hard to imagine what it might be like...

Still, it's way too bloody early! I don't want speculation to end yet! *wails*

I'm in two minds myself. I originally planned on getting the book as soon as possible and reading it right away without stop.
Now I'm thinking about buying it and waiting with reading until I have properly digested the OotP movie. Hah! Only thing is that I know myself too well...I wouldn't be able to resist temptation. I'd have to read it immediately.

I could probably wait till next morning, or afternoon, but no longer (tried and failed miserably with OotP...). And sure I don't *want* to wait if it's out, I'm just a bit miserable it'll be out at all already.

Well, I felt like WTF when I finished HBP and wanted to read more straight away, but after I got used to the idea of waiting for the next book I was okay. What you said before - 2008 - I would have been perfectly alright with that.

I still have the hope that they change the release-date again, but that's not very realistic, isn't it?
