Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - 21 July 2007

32 days... so excited and freaked out at the same time. The HSC has pushed much of my HP knowledge to the back of my mind, so they holidays will be dedicated to bringing it back (and doing my major works. Damn).

I'm probably going to be at work when the book comes out. Hopefully there won't be any idiots running around the book section, yelling out the ending to anyone who walks past.
That would suck so much. I've put an N/A for the whole weekend at work, not risking getting it spoiled. I didn't get book 6 spoiled, but book 5 i did.

Is anyone else dressing up? I sure am. :D Hehehe.

I'll be selling the book all weekend. And it's a blackout period, so everyone will be working.

Thank God for uni hols, I've just been re-reading all the books, and will be going through the movies eventually. I've N/Ad the Saturday it comes out -- I remember I had to work 9-5 last time, and it's opposite the book store and saw everyone in their costumes and walking around reading the book...

I'm trying to work out how to make/buy my costume. Hardest part is deciding what house to belong to...

Get a Grim Reaper outfit from a costume shop and go as a Dementor.

Ohh i just remembered, for book 6 they had this hotline which people called and told them when they finished. And they mention the person who finishes the book first on the news [well they did last time]

So if anyone finishes this one real fast, call the hotline [if tey have one this time] and see if you end up first :)

Nearly a month till its out, times going fast!

I prefer to read it slowly than blitz through it. That way you find all the little things ...

They were thinking about doing a hotline for people really depressed after the book. I'll be freaked out. I mean, the end of Harry Potter?!?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

How fast will you read it for the first time??? -will you finish it on opening weekend???

How would you feel going to school not having read it???
Would you miss a day to finish it???
Anybody to avoid in particular??

Personally I've stretched out the reading time for each book [ I think by Askaban it had become an event] as well as re-reading them a few times, but I might be tempted to finish Deathly Hallows quicker!

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I'm semi-conscious of that, but I didn't ask anything about the book, only how it might affect peoples' time at school in the days after it comes out.

I find every re-reading (up until about the 8th or so) you just picked up on all these little details. Like Rufus Scrimegour is not first mentioned in book 6, and all these various clues about relationships, just small details.

Oh yeah there was a guy who challenged me to a knowledge contest afew pages back, lost dreadfully. Any one else?

Can't wait. I don't care even if any SAC's or whatever are the next day. I ain't sleeping or doing anything else for that matter the moment the book touches my hand, only reading.
