i've searched the forum and i don't think this topic already exists...

in exactly two weeks from now, on july 16th, harry potter and the half-blood prince comes out. i was just wondering if anyone was going to any of the release parties or planning on doing anything interesting for it.
i'll be away at camp on the 16th , but that day happens to be my sister's bday, so i'm just gonna give her some money to buy it as her present and wait for her to finish it then read it myself.

what are you planning on doing???

1. buying the book
2. reading the book

I have to remember to pace myself though, the fifth book came out and I read it in one day..lol.

^ what they said except I preordered it...yeah i know i'm such a geek.

Read it. I'll most likely be finished the following two weeks. I'm slow but I engulf every word.

OH MY GOD YES, I GOT IT PREORDERED~

it arrives on my doorstep at 5:30 AM. either that, or 6:00. and then i take my book, and bring it along with me to my dad's company's Family Day event thing. fun fun, free food, candy, stuff, and lots of games. yay..they have kickass cheeseburgers there. omg, they were like, orgasmic. mmm...

WTH?!!? IMMA BE ON A PLANE BACK FROM THE PHILIPPINES..

i`m gonna miss the release of harry potter. this sucks.

^That stinks. i miss the release too, but i'll be back that afternoon.

I'll be going to the ASAP 2005/TFC show in Pasadena

i'm going to dress up in a harry potter costume with a wizard hat and my magic wand. i might invite my other wizard friends and we'll have a harry potter party! woooot.


not really. i might buy the book. idk. im a fast reader, but i just dont like to read all that much.

I think there's gonna be a party..

or am I leaving to Europe?

Either way, YEAH BOY.

I hope my baby's still in Italy.

i'll probably be running to the local target to get a copy. Then read it. =] I finished the other one off in two days..only cause i bought it at 5 pm.. >_<

I leave for France, Italy and Spain two days before it comes out and then I will be there for three weeks. Once I come back to the states I will buy the book at a bookstore in an airport and then read it on my connecting flight.

I might buy the harry potter book and read or go to a party thats for hp

It sounds tempting. I might buy it.

i already pre-ordered it so i'm gonna go pick it up and midnight probably with my other harry potter geek friends. then i'm gonna read it all day hehe...what fun.

as a matter of fact, july 16th is when me and my daddy go to florida ^^

....... im not getting the harry potter book, though >_<

wow! i love harry potter too though, no worries!

...

for some reason i knew that you were talking about the new harry potter book when i looked at the title, heh. but yeah, i plan on buying that book, and er...reading it!

Cool. I'm not that in to Harry Potter. But on that day I will be at Band Camp. I think or is it the 18th. Well. I might buy the book though, just to see what it's like. I like the movies better than the books though.

well, i would be at barnes and noble at midnight picking up my reserved copy, but i didn't reserve one because i can't go because that's the day we're driving back from the beach, so hopefully i will either a) go to a bookstore in virginia, b) pick it up in the morning before we leave, or c) buy it when i get back, which i hope isn't the case. i want to be able to read it in the car, especially since i have to finish before james

Wow... Arimalka is pretty excited (and obsessed), isn't she?

Harry Potter doesn't interest me at all. Call me a freak.

I don't like Harry Potter much either. It's just, well, dumb, IMO!

On july 16th those who like HP will probably be lining up @ the bookstores. Not me!

I get off work at 9pm that night. After that, I will be going to Borders, which is 2 minutes away, and joining my friends for our 'harry potter party.' since I reserved mine, I will pick it up at midnight and read the whole night. How exciting

Probably wait in line to get the books...

or. probably just laugh it off.

or get the feeling of "i cant wait to buy it for my sister mwahahahaha"

i can't wait for harry potter. i got it preordered rite on the day when the news came out that the book is coming out. i think i would be the first 100 ppl...hopefully. anywaz...i would usually read it and finish it within 2-3 days...but i think i gonna have to study for finals for summer school...this suck! but rite after the finals, i'll read it...on my way to VEGAS...yeah! i can't wait!!!!!!!

buy it and its probably going to sit on my shelf for a few months and then ill relized i never read it

i know what i'm doing, staying with my boyfriend and keeping away from the theaters, i hate harry potter.

i might go to the beach if the weather is fine though

it's the BOOK release. so the theaters will probably be empty. everyone will be reading.
well, everyone except for you and the others who don't like hp.

I didn't even get the last one..but I guess I'll buy them both this summer =)

If I don't pre-order it tomorrow, my butt will be waiting in line.
