I plan on reading it whenever I can get myself a copy, as I've read all the other books and enjoyed them.
How many pages is this one supposed to be?

I was going to say benefici... "!How the hell will you get it 1 day before the rest of us?!"

Danielle - Depends on which version you're going to get -
U.S Trade edition - 672 pages
U.S Deluxe Edition - 704 pages (It's got some illustrations in it.... I want this version but I'll end up with the...)

U.K Trade edition - 608 pages (It's got a smaller font).

Oh and I'm going to get one on Saturday morning, I just hope the bookshop is open before work.

I got bored during the start of the 4th book and haven't really read any other books in the series yet, although I have briefly heard bits and pieces of my relatives reading the books to younger relatives. 1,000 page books with text the size of the abdomen of an ant scare me.

Yeah, the fourth book is a little boring throughout; I found I didn't like it as much as the third one. But the fifth book goes above and beyond the fourth and was really good. I don't know how the sixth will turn out, but I will definitely try it.

Hey! Wait until the rest of us can get a hold of a copy! I probably won't get mine for another twelve hours. Stupid time zones.

My parents think it's crazy to pick up a book at midnight on the day it comes out because they say it will be the book will be there some other time. This applies with other stuff too.

They are really overrated, They are ok, but not as good as everyone says.
I went with my sister to pick up her copy today.

She came off as whiny not skanky in it.

Anyway, I'm at Chapter Seven now in Book Six! It's been okay so far, but it looks like it's already building some interesting things. 'Ll be fun to see how it turns out.

I'll get it, but not any time soon. I'm excited about it, though.

I just got a little disheartened when I saw that there's only like 672 pages...the 5th had 800 something, so this is a bit of a step down...oh well.

LMAO! CHeesePie - GIve the woman a rest, I'm writing a novel and it's hard enough typing the first chapter!

Ok, Well here ar my (Non spoiler) Impressions as posted on a friend's fansite....

"I've read the entire book, and don't worry, I won't post any spoilers, but my first imprressions are... "What a weird book". It's got practically no story and is all about character development, it's probably the one that will alienate fans the most.

To talk further about it would spoil it for the rest of you, but there are scenes in this book that are some of the most disterbing by far, one scene actualy brought me VERY close to tears, and good news for you shippers out there... some resolution methinks. wink.gif

The worst thing is that it feels, more than any other HP book - incomplete, like it's the first part of a mini 2 part series with Book 7.

That said, if it's only meant as an appetiser.. then what an appetiser! "

But lucky for you at Acmlms, I have the added security of Spoiler spaces... so here goes.... Time is short and I may add things on afterwards

Fave Moments
Spoiler:

- Dumbledore's lessons with Harry were excellent and very illuminating, you get to understand why Voldie turned out the way he did. Dumbledore shines in this book, he has the best line in the entire novel, about "Chasing that flighty spirit - adventure", or something like that.

- Harry and Ginny!!! I've never been a shipper in my life, but it all seemed so obvious.... shame they split up, but mabye they'll get back together.

- Dumbledore's Death, the most shocking thing I've read in the entire series. I knew it was coming, but it reduced me to tears, that and getting the (false) horcrux before, where Harry forced the potion down Dumbledore's throar.

- Ron and Hermionie finally seeing some resolution.....


I liked other things too, but I'll have to go soon, so I'll break this off to talk about...


Theories and observations (More to come soon)
Spoiler:

What's the missing Horcrux eh? SOmething to do with Gryffyndor? I've heard a VERY interesting theory it's Harry himself (or his Scar). It would fit in with the prophecy...



I have to go, someone else wants the comp....

See you later!
