The Big Countdown...

Oh, and it must be said:

Fie on you, you worthless, grubby, pond scum, hagfish book spoilerers! May the cruciatus curse strike you down, and may all your electronics and gadgets melt!

Ahem.

Someone let the cat out of the bag? I've been keeping myself in seclusion as I don't want to know.

I have a bad feeling about Harry's chances. Too bad to 'cause I think he was about to score with Jenny Weasley! She's hot, but then I have always had a thing for red heads...

Purportedly, someone took pictures of every page of the book and posted it online in pdf form. Others are posting supposed spoilers.

At least one person who got the book early (online store sent out around 1200 copies before the release date) put it up on eBay for over $250.

The NY Times's (bought at a NYC store before the release date) and The Baltimore Sun's (bought online and received before the release date) book reviewers got the copies and wrote reviews. There's been a bit of an uproar.

Lol re redheads. My preference is grey eyes, dark hair. :0)

Well, I already put up my conjecture about Harry's chances in my possible spoilers. I won't repeat them here.

I am still waiting for my @#@$%# book. @#$@% Amazon!! Never pre-order!!!

Poor PK! Hope you got your book. Amazon said that the preorders would arrive on Saturday if people paid extra to expedite their deliveries. I preordered but knew I'd have a copy in my grubby paws before the Amazon one arrived, so I didn't worry about.

Have been avoiding the internet to avoid finding out. My firend is lending me her copy when she finishes it (50 pages to go). Hope all is well in your world. :-)

Hope you and Poppified and Toddlerfied are doing well. :-D :-D

My mother enjoyed The Deathly Hallows and now she's going to reread it, lol. :0)
