The Deathly Hallows

'Nuff said.

So book 6 just after Dashiell's birth, and movie 5 just before his 2nd birthday, and book 7 a week after his birthday. Hahaha.

OMG. Mawha, NZ will be the first place to get it. I shall be waiting in line and then take the whole day off to do nothing but read it :D

'Nuff said indeed.

I'm still wondering if I'm going to order it from Amazon, or thrill in the hunt for it the day it's released.

I'll be pre-ordering, but that's also because I'm a dork and get the UK version from Amazon.co.uk.

I have a friend who used to work for Amazon, and every year she chastises me for not pre-ordering it. :p

There's a part of me that trills at heading to a bookstore at midnight to pick up an eagerly anticipated book. I mean, that's behavior we associate with movies, music, concerts, even video game consoles, but never books. It's too much for my nerdy soul to resist.

Plus, it's cute to see all the kids (and teenagers) all hyped up about the book. It helps me to geek out over it further.

Love or hate the HP series, I think J.K. Rowling should be congratulated for getting millions of people to read, because at least it opens many kids' eyes to the fact that books can be fun and have amazing stories within them to be found and loved.

I think the HP series is one of the few books I've actually pre-ordered. Most of the time I just wait until it's been released before I order.

We came late to the series, and so the first 5 had already been released I think, and then the 6th was released a couple of days after Dashiell was born, so not a likely time to go stand in a queue at the bookstore ;) And then there's the fact that I like the UK version, but that's mostly because of the spelling etc. We also have the Philosopher's Stone, not the Sorceror's Stone ;) Like I said, I'm a dork that way.

And adults, let's not forget :D

I came to the series REALLY early. The same former Amazon employee friend, Jill, is an aspiring YA writer whose parents work as graphic designers for a textbook publisher, so she heard about the books through those circles shortly after the first one was released.

She bullied me into reading them right before the third book was published I believe. Jill even dressed up as Harry Potter that Halloween, and no one knew who she was supposed to be. As unbelievable as that sounds. :P

I never thought of picking up the British version from the UK Amazon. That would be a good gift for Ducky.
