j/k
Not a Harry Potter fan. Was in the book store last night, right around closing time for regular customers, and right around the time that the line-up was around the corner so they could get their hands on the book "right at midnight."

This morning, everywhere I went, there were thousands of books, piled sky-high everywhere, untouched.

Don't get it.

I hear it's not as good as previous ones (i've been avoiding spoilers for it tho). I like the second and fourth the best so far.

A woman i work with always buys them, and then passes them around to the rest of us. I'll wait for that.

then don't get it, it's much safer.
coincidentally, i just got my potter delivery, and i tried to spoiler it for him but i didn't
just yelling things like, he dies, and seamus!
guttenberg bless the public press
and the reliable joys of life

it's not stellar writing and it took me a while to get into it, which i did in part because so many people had (breeders), but once i did:
once you're done you don't understand why you can't fix the broken glass by saying Repairo! and clean things with Scourgify! it would be so much easier.

I hear they turn Hogwart's into a magic whorehouse--that's true, no?

And that Draco declares his love for Harry in the showers after a Quidditch game, right?

btw. i have it because it's free and somewhat nefarious means of acquisition.

cryp: i have the audiobook for no good reason (not mine, haven't heard it), but send a copy and i will

oh, it was rape, i hear. Harry was traumatized. esp after he woke up with Hermione blowing him.

posted by ethylene 17 July | 01:08

Draco is So gay

Oh man...there's this chick who has really, really been annoying me on one of the other boards I visit. She's a total, absolute, freakazoid fanboi type about Harry Potter.

I'm so going to go post these spoilers where she can't miss them. Mwhahahahahahahaha!

posted by ethylene 17 July | 01:49

Er...to clarify...the real spoilers. Although, if I could also convince her of some slashfic with draco and potter, that would be a feather in my cap also. ;)

I know at our store we sold more than 2000 copies in the past day. The thing is even grocery stores are carrying it though.

Giblets Book Club Presents: Harry Potter--...1500 pages of everybody sittin' around at a table goin' "So Harry Potter what's goin' on," "Oh nothin', just bein' Harry Potter," "Oh well then," and then he gets run over by a bus. ...

Waaah! I have to wait another week or so to get a copy. The Canadian version is ugly (plus I started with the US versions before moving here) and need (yes, need!) to get the US version on my next trip.
