Four more days! I'm on the waiting list at my local library for it...I got on months and months ago (they made the entry for the book and it just says "in processing" or something like that). I'm #36 and I discovered there are 54 HP HBP books being purchased by the system (a handful of the county libraries). I'm guaranteed to get it on day 1.
Yay! I'd also like to get my hands on a German version. I'm thinking a good way to work on my Deutsch skills would be to read the German one along with English. Has anybody try that with books?

ugh! I hadn't thought about where I was going to purchase it! OH NO!!! There's a Borders about an hour from where I live....but I suppose they'll be sold out immediately....or not...you can never tell who's paying attention to such things...

I'm excited about HBP now... glad I've got a little local bookshop which definitely won't run out of copies on Saturday morning!

I too am hooked on HP. I watched the SS the other day for my thirteenth time (on tv) and ordered the new book five months ago. The merchant advised me that it will ship in four days. Yippie!!

I am also a huge HP geek. I was going to say I'm part of the Pottermania, but I'm getting my copy on the 18th of July, and this doesn't bother me, so I guess I'm not that obsessed. I do know the exact date of when it comes out though (midnight on July 16th)... and Harry's birthday (July 31st) and Neville's birthday (July 30th)...
I did re-read the entire series recently, and I'm really, really looking forward to the next book.

I'm checking my mail each day next week. When we all get the book and read it, we can have a good old party. The thing is you do want to 'savor' it after waiting so long.

Well, mine is to arrive on Saturday AM by "brown" from Amazon! I just hope it gets here early so I can read all day and not all night! But I plan to read through it as the mood moves me (and then re-read it to savor it and extract all the clues, though that may take some time and many re-readings!) .
