I mean . . .come on people!<BR/><BR/>therese - actually I think I would more likely be Ravenclaw, even by choice. Though I would love to be Gryffindor, I'm not sure if I am brave enough . . .<BR/>(and again you are very sweet! And you bet your booty my party's going to be awesome!)<BR/><BR/>orion - yeah everyone is saying how easy it was to buy it off the shelf, and oddly it is the die hard fans who are now waiting, and the last minute "Ah heck I think I'll buy this" who have the book!<BR/><BR/>snarkfodder - I am so sorry! Surely Amazon understands the direness of the situation! I can only hope they remedy the problem and fast. Otherwise, I think you should just cave and buy it in person. Give the other one as a gift or something!<BR/><BR/>heidi - that sounds truly magical! Really. And your dog as Dobby! Awesome!! It's a pity though you missed out on the butterbeer. Always wondered what that tasted like . . .Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607530400279311428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-27130389310141986492007-07-24T22:51:00.000-04:002007-07-24T22:51:00.000-04:00We had a great party too!

They shut down the whole downtown and had fire eaters (as opposed to death eaters who are not as much fun) (well unless you count Helena Bonham Carter) and we took our Pug, who totally cracked everyone up when we announced that his name is DOBBY and we missed out on Butterbeer because it was sold out an hour before we got there...my kids chased the Basilisk down the street...every store had a Hogwarts name...we stayed out til after midnight...it was awesome.<BR/><BR/>I feel sad that we don't get to do it one more time.Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-90051883882878584322007-07-24T14:39:00.000-04:002007-07-24T14:39:00.000-04:00You're never going to believe this.

I saw on the news boxes upon boxes of these things stacked in a warehouse.<BR/><BR/>I mean, who the hell do I have to <I>Imperio!</I> to get some service around here?? *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Now I don't know whether to cancel the order and grab it from Walmart, or see if I can wring some customer satisfaction out of amazon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-19972331869010175422007-07-24T00:05:00.000-04:002007-07-24T00:05:00.000-04:00And still snarkfodder waits.*slump*And still snarkfodder waits.<BR/><BR/>*slump*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-24333837808802694402007-07-23T21:54:00.000-04:002007-07-23T21:54:00.000-04:00Sounds too fun.

I feel sort of bad for the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw kids; they don't get enough press.<BR/><BR/>My copy of HP VII is on the way...and then I shall fill the emptiness with that fabulous Adrienne Kress book that's debuting soon.<BR/><BR/>I bet her party's gonna be good, too.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915740239016736614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-82178310525664931972007-07-23T17:19:00.000-04:002007-07-23T17:19:00.000-04:00Sound like a really great night out."...am feeling...Sound like a really great night out.<BR/><BR/>"...am feeling rather empty and sad now that the whole thing is over"<BR/><BR/>I can understand that, Adrienne. The final Harry Potter is the end of an era and it's quite possible that we'll never see a series that captures us in quite the way that this one did.<BR/><BR/>Really - the only thing I can suggest is that you find another author of children's books that is going to give pleasure and sell zillions world wide and read them.<BR/><BR/>I have the name Adrienne Kress mentioned? Do you know her?Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991009842667783101noreply@blogger.com
