So other countries get it on the day aside from the US and UK? In Singapore, yes! And since we're earlier in the Timezone .. we're probably gonna get the book first! ;D There are tons of HP fans here! They're all probably gonna camp out at night too ... Last i heard from Half Blood Prince's "event" people camped out since 12am! D: I didn't pre-ordered mine... I figured, I'll probably get a week after the release or a few days later. I don't want to wait in line ... and the stock would probably be finished within the first few days or so... so I hope by next week, I can get a copy of the book without any problems!

I'm trying to keep from reading spoilers. I've officially banned myself from looking at anything Harry Potter related for the next too days. Mainly on Wikipedia. And, if you're contacting me online in any form, do not put any spoilers anywhere. I may have a good feeling on who's gonna die but I do not want to know that I'm right.
Frankly, I'd rather be wrong.
I predicted Dumbledore would die in book 6, I don't want to be right again.
But, from now until Saturday, I'm in a state of crazyness. I don't know how I will handle the next few days. I need to read the book now. I dreamt about reading it already. I need to find out how the story ends.

I am going to a Harry Potter party at out local Borders store on Friday night, then we get the book at midnight. I will be whisking home and starting to read.
I have a code I am using woth soem friends. Over the weekend we are only communicating by text and to initiate a conversation you just send a text with teh page number you are referring to. That way, the other person doesnt respond until they get to that page .... you may wish to adopt a similar plan of action!

I'm going to be disconnecting myself for the most part from the world. Basically what I did with S T D. Nobody is to contact me.
I'll prolly make a poster to put on my door that says, "DO NOT DISTURB, I AM READING HARRY POTTER BOOK 7"
I ought to make that now!

Yeah, Earlier timezones get it first. Hawaii is like the last ones to get it next to the west coast. The Newfs get it first here in Canada. In a way, Canada is the first to get the book in North America. I'm bringing my laptop to the bookstore and my video camera. I'll be watching JKR reading the book online... Well, Hopefully. There's a Starbucks and there should be some Wi-Fi. I'll post on here too I guess. The wait is killing me.

LOL, wow - I didn't know about that. I always thought the Brits were given preferential treatment ;D
Anywho, onto Chapter 20 - I'm on page 388; just over half-way through!

This current time makes me very much hate the Internet. But, I've thought about becoming Amish and I couldn't.
I've already made myself a small "do not disturb" sign for Saturday and the next few days.
I completed my last reading of a full Harry Potter book until Deathly Hallows, which was Half Blood Prince and as I read the last page, I have gotten to the last stage of grief, I am accepting, but I don't think I'm fully there until I finish the last page of Deathly Hallows and as "Leaving Hogwarts" from the soundtrack of the first movie finishes, I'm sad. I'm ready, but I'm not ready. Does that make sense?

I found one that def wasnt ... wasnt even vaguely her style of writing I'm not really a Potter n00b, I can spot a fake a mile off. ^^ It isn't typed up in a word document or something. These are photos of pages. There's no doubt in my mind that it's genuine

I think I might have lost my mind.
I need to spend time watching movies or dvds.

Yah I just looked at the pictures to see whether they were real or not and they looked real. I just found out some places shipped out books earlyer than they should have been, so some people in the US got some earlyer than they should have.

Of course, I'm watching my Barnes and Noble order like a Hawk and I want that book badly. I need to find out the end.
