Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
![]()
I think I’m getting just a tad excited about the final Harry Potter book. Granted I’m not going to wait outside Border’s for midnight so that I can get one of the first copies because then I’ll just stay up all night reading it and won’t be able to go to work in the morning (trust me, I have done that before!) but a friend is going to one of the big out-of-town shopping centres near where we live to get his copy and hopefully will manage to pick up mine too so that I can sit and read it before I go back to work on Monday.
I think I’m going to have to re-read Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince again to get into the swing of things. I do that each time a Harry Potter book comes out, in fact last time I re-read every single book before I read Half-Blood Prince! It only took me about five days aswell.
I’m also going to the IMAX cinema with my brother to see Harry Potter & The Order of The Pheonix, which was my favourite Harry Potter book sometime before next weekend. I can’t wait - it’s great using my little brother as an excuse to go to the IMAX to see it since the boyfriend hates HP with a passion and I don’t fancy going myself to the cinema.
It’s rather hard staying away from spoiler sites for the book and movie, because I really don’t want to know what happens in the book and although I know the story for the movie I don’t want that ruined either! So please, if you’re commenting on this post don’t say anything spoiler-y or I’ll get Nearly Headless Nick to haunt you down…

I haven’t been excited about the Harry Potter books (let alone the movies) in a while. I guess I’ll finish the sixth book and read the seventh, but meh…I just didn’t stay a fan for too long.

5 days to read all the HP books? Geez. How do you do it? One book alone would take me at least one week.

Who decides which books get press (Harry Potter) and which get censored? After all, censorship is becoming America’s favorite past-time. The US gov’t (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books like “America Deceived” from Amazon and Wikipedia, shut down Imus and fire 21-year tenured, BYU physics professor Steven Jones because he proved explosives, thermite in particular, took down the WTC buildings. Free Speech forever (especially for books).
