I've just realised, I haven't made any plans about buying the book yet. I want to buy it at midnight, but I haven't ordered it or anything.
I wonder who will be the first one on the board to finish it?

Me.
Probably true... I read exceedingly fast.

It won't take me more than a day. If you read through the night, you people in time zones ahead of me will finish earlier. :-\
WOE.
We should probably race anyhow.

Pssst! You could read the leaked copy before release, and then pretend you've read the real one incredibly fast... ;D

alksdfkjsd I DO HAVE IT, YOU KNOW... But it's REALLY hard to read. I'd get a headache trying to decipher almost 800 pages of this: (Actual images much larger) Gosh, aren't you so glad I didn't post a real picture of a page with actual text that has important spoilers on it?

Wow, someone actually took pictures of EVERY PAGE?! God. But WOW OMG THERE IT IS!!!
I love how the world is so excited for a BOOK.
Also, I have decided that my HP Tribute video will feature pictures and videos from the midnight release I'm attending, as well as character memorials for the non-survivors throughout the entire series at the end. And various movie stills 'n such. YESS. So expect that by like, Monday or so.

Your video better be the most amazing thing I have ever seen, or I'm going to disown you! You know, knowing the plot, as I do, I'm even MORE excited. And I'm not all uptight and anxious about having it spoiled for me. SO THERE. Maybe because for the last book I was not really in the fandom that much, I wasn't all that worked up about it. And now I am, and it's killing me, this wait.

Tonight!! Tonight!!
But I don't know when I'll read it...
My sisters want to read the Spanish version (2008 spring, dears!). And, of course, the same book twice is too much (WHAT??), so I don't know what will happen...
But I wanted to read it in english this time. I think my english is good enough to understand it (of course, with the help of my friends Dictionary and Translator web!
!!!

It's not a full spoilers set. Just the obituaries...

Oh, cool. Where did you get it from? and do the page numbers relate to the English copy or the American?
|

Post by tombland on Jul 20, 2007 13:44:39 GMT
American, I presume. And Encyclopedia Dramatica was the source. Along with it repeatedly stating that Harry is, in fact, a n00b, it's got it as it's front page article...

Ah, you gotta love encyclopedia dramatica, if only for the page on Fall Out Boy.
ANYWAY, thanks for that, I'm sure I'll change my mind and read it whilst drunk later.

Incidentally, that's also my plan. I like E.D's article on Jews the best...
