Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Yeah, I've had Olberman's theory since Aud and I spent an evening dishing at our favorite diner after we'd finished the book... and I think that would work well with the purported word of the last chapter of Deathly Hallows. Nevertheless, I can't wait to read it. Aud and I are going to be at our standard Burbank bookstore (this'll be our third time there for an HP release.)

This time with Tom in tow, since he's read (and savored) all six since the last release. (So no "hey, just calling to chat and INTERRUPT YOUR READING MARATHON" calls like last time. "Honey, I love you, but... I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE!") He and I are each buying our own-- no way we can wait for the other to finish!

That's a good idea! It'd be fun to have a dining meet about a week after the release so we can all discuss the book!

Yes. you mean, naturally, an ONLINE dining conference meet so everyone can participate. I will, of course, be having something with Bacon. And a nice Chianti.

Here is the bain of my parenting existence...We forgot our camera the night of, but the events person took pictures there and said to call and she'd send us a copy. We vowed to take pics at home, but it was late and we decided to dress him up again the next day and do it. Then the dog ate the costume. I tried to get pics from the events person but they never returned my calls.

H and Aud... makes me want to make yet ANOTHER trek to SoCal to camp out with you. This year we can watch Hairspray before standing in line instead of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

I can't wait for the new book. The library has been doing a ton of publicity for it. I'm giddy!

I too wish I were in SoCal for the opening. I have a decided lack of HP friends here. I'm pondering going alone, but I'm not thrilled at the prospect.

I have my copy of the book and my "Complementary Stuffed Hedwig" on order from Borders.

I also have tickets for OOTP both in the Gold Class Cinema (Bonbons and Champagne, anyone) and IMAX ordered (different days, of course)

Awww, I miss those days. Tori had to dress up every opening night for LOTR and HP. She went as Eowyn on the ROTK opening night, and she was so cute. She had a beautiful medieval dress her grandma had made, a sword and at the time had long, flowing blond/brown curls that reached her derriere. She really looked like a mini-Eowyn, and everyone knew who she was supposed to be.
