Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter!

So have ya'll caught Harry Potter fever yet? I am on the verge. I am picking up my book on Saturday. I thought for a second of going on Friday, but it sounds like way too much work. Anyhoo, I get my book on Saturday and I may not do anything else for the rest of the weekend. I may just read and read and read. I want to savor the last experience and yet I want to know what happens. I think my desire to know what happens will win out. I've also been avoiding anything on the internet that has to do with Harry Potter. I do not want any spoilers.

I think I am going to go see the new movie this week too. I want to feel caught up on everything.

I also tried to get my mother to buy me Harry, Hermione and Ron action figures. She said no.

Well, everyone if, I don't talk to you again this week, Happy Harry Potter-ing!

I also nixed the idea of going Friday at midnight, though it was quite tempting. I will just wait until early Saturday morning. Then, I also plan to read, read, read and AVOID all spoilers. I really DO NOT want this book ruined for me.

So we should have like a secret code when we're done with the book so that our tones will not mistakenly reveal any morsel of HP goodness. How about "The muggle is mourning," or some such nonsense? Any suggestions??

Jon and I saw the 5th movie this weekend. FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. 'Nuff said.

Meg said...

I like "The Muggle is Mourning." Because this muggle will be mourning...for the end of the series.

Laura said...

EXACTLY! Haha. We are SO right there.

Mine is being delivered to my doorstep via Amazon. I love it. No lines of screaming kids. I plan on Sat being Potter day.

Meg said...

We'll all be reading Harry Potter on Saturday. Yay!

Meg said...

I just saw the new movie and LOVED it. Every movie gets better and better. But I got a little sad today because now there are only two more movies.

Why do all good things have to come to an end.

Meg said...

I actually thought this one was anything but dull. I thought the final battle scenes were the best of the series. And I loved the weird montage scenes when Voldemort was trying to get into his mind. I thought the movie felt very angsty.

You should try reading the books PTT. They are SOOOOO good.

Laura said...

Dammit, man. You can't complain about the fucking movies if you haven't read the fucking books. Boo-ya. That's all I have to say about that. And you should return a certain person's voicemail. (HAHA...I know, I know, I'm pushing my luck now! ;o))

I was on the edge of my seat during the movie...even though I knew what was coming, the movie surprised me, even scared me. Fuh-reaky!

Meg said...

Wow, five books is very impressive PTT. But reading one Harry Potter book will feel like you've only read a quarter of a book...they are that good.

I will admit, I wasn't on the HP bandwagon at first. I didn't start reading them until there were 4 books. But I read them all back to back in the span of about a month.

So all I am saying, is that if someday, you have some time, and want to read, read a Harry Potter.

Meg said...

That was such a beautifully written review PTT, that I have decided to hate the movie now too!

Meg said...

Ok, then I just think it is quality, but second to last quality.

But you think it is second to last? Which one do you think is last?

Laura said...

Yeah, that makes sense. We are probably definitely "filling in the blanks", if you will. Like Suzy, I agree that your interpretation was quite persuasive.

On a final note, HP comes out in two hours and 11 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Murph said...

Who's finished it? I want to chat about it!

Laura said...

This muggle is mourning...yeah, I'm finally finished! Let's talk! Who wants to get this discussion going? Suzy, I think you should start a new blog with the title (HARRY POTTER DISCUSSION, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK) or something like that so we can talk about the book! HOORAY!
