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*

It's coming out DURING Sectus? Wow.

I know some people who rush through the books, but I've tried to take my time, and I definitely will with this one. I mean, you only get to read it for the first time once, and it's going to be too special not to savor.

OTOH, EVERYONE at a HP convention reading the book at the same time? Everyone going to a bookstore together on Friday to buy it? It will be like a supernova of HP intensity. :-D

I couldn't possibly wait :). I've read the last three in one go (once interrupted by sleep with HBP), and it was a very *short* sleep, I was too curious :).

It will be like a supernova of HP intensity. :-D
Looks like it - I'm a bit excited about *that* prospect :).
