I'm waiting very impatiently for my damn mailman to arrive with my pre-ordered copy. Why oh why does my house have to be the last on the route!

I went and picked one up lastnight too, but I'm only 37 pages in so far.

Personally I feel that, if JK Rowling was going to spend all that money plugging spoiler leaks, the least she could've done is said, "Please don't post or publicize the plot for at least a week after the release."

I suppose my biggest problem with the plot on Wikipedia is that so little of it seems to be directly Hogwarts-related. Are they even in school anymore?

Nate, the issue of Hogwarts is pretty much in book six... which, by the way, I liked far better on my second reading. Yep, I'm hooked - which leaves me a bit disappointed so far; there are a few plotholes. I won't mention what they are so as not to spoil anyone. Twenty chapters and counting - wish I didn't have to work tomorrow - in a sense, but at least it's work I enjoy.

Sorry, I'm Pottering around so much that I forgot to wish you all a happy Harry Potter day, too. I had a good dose of it - I got to see the OOTP movie as well.

Well, as I keep saying, I read up to Goblet of Fire back when that was the most current book (five years ago, or was it six?). I've read nothing past that. Once my sister finishes Deathly Hallows I'll read all seven, just to get it over with. Not that I don't enjoy reading Harry Potter, but...but...

Especially Loads and Loads of Characters. Times a hundred. Too much. Way too much. Too many character interactions. Trying to keep track of all of the plot points. I'm sorry, but I read a book to relax, not maintain a spreadsheet of what everyone is saying knowing that three books from now it'll finally pay off.
