Potter 7...

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*

Too much Potterism...

I, too had planned sitting quietly with LdyB and read from the last page back, digest, and cry over our boys... But yeah... Sectus. I am not going there, but for the papers. I want peace and quiet and bleh, it sucks that it is exactly that week-end.

I so agree. It is at least ten years too early.

Well, five years, but still :).

I've never actually tried to read a book in company, so who knows, I might like it... And yeah - can't see your boys (who include half of mine) with much hope for survival either. And I'm way too empathic to handle major deaths well in company (perfectly fine on my own, though).

I'll definitely prefer to handle the boys gone in private, thank you very much, and not in front of 300 other fans. Also I am already now quite allergic to the squeeing over how wonderful it is, so I think my Snapish self will do better alone.

I am not too fond of reading with others, even if Lucius ends up Minister and Severus as the Hero. Yeah, right...

Btw, there is a comm invite coming your way some time later today.
