OK Potter-heads, who gets the ax in the new book? I'm too lazy to go digging through all of the spoilers right now.

This book is getting good.

I was going to reread the first 6, but I only made it to 3. Having the book kinda made me forget my plan.

It really wouldn't have mattered as I was running around most of the day and then did something completely out of character and volunteered to baby sit my cousin's baby so he & his wife could go out. :crazy1: This is how I'm repaid? No book? :weeping:

Everyone dies.
Except Harry.
He marries Proffesor McGonagall and they start a new school called Bumbleboar.
Voldemort eats his own face.
The End.

Well, according to my coworkers who have theirs already, they said that UPS handled the delivery of the books to Corpus and then turned everything over to the USPS to handle the actually deliveries. The books alone would have kept UPS busy for a long while.

There was a story in the Beaumont Enterprise paper about how more than 400 people showed up at the Barnes and Noble, some staring Thursday night. They received wristbands and crowded into the store at around 9 or so last night, where they waited until midnight and were called, one by one, to get their copies - most of them reserved far in advance. People spent two nights there to get a copy.
Here I am, 20 miles away. I couldn't sleep last night around 11:55, so I hopped in the car, drove to the local Super Wal Mart a few miles from the house and picked one up off of the shelf. I was back home before 12:25.
Seriously, people.
Think.

Well I guess I might as well ruin the ending for ya Rita. In the end you find out that Harry has been dead from the beginning. Voldemort actually did kill him when he was a baby and trapped his soul in a sort of limbo where he thinks he never died. Hermione Granger is actually Ron's sister who was taken and hidden from the Weasleys shortly after birth. Aurthur Weasley is not their father. You find out that Molly Weasly had a secret relationship with Tom Riddle, who as good at time, and became pregnant with his kids. When she refuses to abandon her family and runaway with Tom, he becomes infuriated, which ultimately leads him to becoming Lord Voldemort, the most feared Sith Lord in the galaxy. She keeps Ron and puts Hermione up for adoption. The last chapter is about an autistic kid playing with a globe with a miniature version of Hogwarts in it. At that point we learn that the entire story was just the imagination of a mentally ill 7 year old boy. The End.

After the whole mail fiasco, I went ahead and bought a copy yesterday. It was a great Sunday for a book worm/nerd like myself! :nerd: I started the book at 10 a.m. and finished just after 11 p.m. :D :nerd: :D

J.K. did a fantastic job on this book & I was very pleased.

If anyone wants to know who dies send me a PM & I'll tell you, but you really should read these books.
