I just started working for a big chain bookstore with an ampersand in its name, and I just need to say that I'm glad my store wasn't open in time for this book's release. I went through two movie premieres. I did not want to go through a book premiere.
After Book Five and the fact that I first read "Sorcerer's Stone" when I was 14 and I'm now 20, I'm not as excited as you guys are. I'm waiting for one of my friends to finish the book so I can borrow it from them. Or the store if they let us borrow it when the shipment finally arrives.
