Harry Potter book 7 - countdown!

[peterh]

Alright - Saturday's the day!

I'll be in line at my bookstore at midnight even though the book is officially for sale at 01.01 am. It's going to be great - and to you damn Americans - I'll probably be getting my book before you do. And then I'll be certain to pm you with ALL the spolers!!

;D

[Galadriel]

Damn you pete! Getting the book before I do! I hope you get kicked out of the bookstore cause you smell too much ;D

[killerzzz]

I'm gunna let myself be patient in getting the book.
I think.
Either that, or I'll camp out like the rest of you fans. ;D
Nono! Patience!

Actually, I have a funny story about Harry Potter books. I was at a general store, in the soft-cover book section. I looked at a few, with little interest.
Then I saw and picked up one called The Book of Fate. It was strangely heavier than the other books, even those that had a hundred more pages! "The Book of Fate" So, I obviously supposed that the book was of black magic or something, then put it down and moved on.
Then I picked up a Harry Potter book. I wieghed three times as much as the Book of Fate and had even less pages. Eeeeeviilllll!!! ;D

Not if I spoil them all first!

Ready?

These are all true. I read them myself. Highlight at your own risk:

* Harry finds and destroy all the Horcruxes. The unknown one was the Lost Diadem of Ravenclaw

* Harry is himself a Horcrux. He needs to be killed to kill Voldemort. Dumbledore knew this.

* The Deathly Hallows are three powerful magical artifacts, made to conquer death. A powerful Wand, a Resurrection Stone and an Invisible Cloak. Yes, Harry's cloak is a Deathly Hallow

* Snape is a good guy. He always loved Lily. He killed Dumbledore on his orders, as he was about to die anyway because of a curse in Marvolo's Ring

* Voldemort kills Harry. But is protected by his Mother's charm, which continued because Voldemort used Harry's blood when he made his own body. But it's enough to kill the part of Voldemort's soul inside Harry

* Voldemort and Harry face again. Voldemort use the Deathly Hallow wand to kill Harry, but Harry was the true master of the wand and Aveda Kedavra backfires and kills him

* Death List: Fred Weasly, Mad Eye Moody, Lupin, Tonks, Hedwig and Dobby.

* Harry marries Ginny, they have three children: James, Albus Severus and Lily. Ron and Hermoine marry and have two children. The book ends with them saying goodbye to their sons in the Hogwarts express.

Sounds like a good ending to me Hec, but I'll wait untill I've read the book to give comments

[hector]

The book is good. Probably as good as any of the others. It drags for a while during the first half, but once it gets going it becomes really EPIC.

On the whole, it's a satisfactory ending the series. And it was precisely what I expected.

Have to admit, i'm looking forward to this one myself but i'm not going to rush out and buy it. I'll get to it in time. but I have loved the rest of the series and am therefore expecting no less from this one. I only hope that it ends well and that J.K. doesn't Steven Spielberg it. Still time will tell.

I just found out that here in Belgium we wont be able to buy the book on the 21 st, cause it's our national holiday then. Every bookstore is closed on that day, every store for that matter is closed

Ditto to that.
