Just one more day until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is out. The original post on the book is still this blog’s most viewed page, and is soaring in page views daily.
I’ve had my pre-order in with Amazon for over three months… and yet I am still considering going down to Borders at midnight on Friday. Yes, it’s a sickness.
The net is full of leaked pages, scanned images, quotes and comments.
Repeat after me:
“I will not read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Spoilers…”
🙂
Update (7/21/2007): Still waiting for the mail man with my Amazon order… so … hard … to …. resist … Wikpedia summary …
Update (7/21/2007): Got the special edition in the mail just a half-hour after the last update. About 150 pages into the book …
OH MY GOD — can’t believe you just posted about not reading spoilers, after your history of spoiler-in-post-titles… 🙂
Sooo….I finished the book on the way to Paris. Yes, the whole thing. Bought it in the airport (there was no shortage at the behind-security bookstore), started at SFO, continued through an obscene four-hour layover in Toronto, finished during dinner over the Atlantic.
Unfortunately, my opinion on the book is inherently spoiler-ish, so I can’t say anything to people who haven’t finished.
When you finish the book, you should check out this article. It’s a live chat transcript in which JK Rowling answers questions that span all seven books, including information on what happens after the events of the final book. It’s a very interesting read:
