Harry Potter and the End of Days

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Hello!

So unless you've been living under a rock for the past decade, you might know about a little book series called Harry Potter. The 7th and presumably final book is being released tomorrow and a lot of people who have followed the series are a little tetchy about being spoiled before they get the chance to read the book for themselves.

There will be a library post up for anyone who wants to plonk their kid in there to read a copy of Barry Plodder's final adventure. However, we ask that in that post and everywhere in the game, even in comments in your own character journal, you not make reference to the events that occur in Harry Potter 7 (or Barry Plodder 7) for at least a week. Please respect your fellow players and save yourself the trouble of engaging in mortal combat with a rabid Potter fan. They bite and we're not giving out free rabies shots.

Thanks!

I was going to suggest we have Fandom's own midnight book release party, then I realized we'd probably all be out at our own. 8)

Not me, woe!

*kicks work*

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

WOE!!!!

I will be! 9:01am AEST baby. The one time I actually love this time zone.

Can you get to Australia in a few hours? I WILL MEET YOU THERE!

I'M WAITING. YEESH.

I have in no way been trying to figure out if the bookstore I'll be at has wireless anywhere in the area.

*fails at innocence*

I won't be getting my copy till Amazon delivers it on Saturday. =(

I will also be up at like 5 am so I can be up and done with everything I could possibly have to do before it shows up.

Thank you so, so much for this. For HP6 I logged off the internet a day or two in advance just to keep from being spoiled by accident. I didn't want to lose my crack fix this time. ♥

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Me too. My book doesn't show up until the end of that week. So I appreciate the long lead time of not being spoiled before I even start it!

Because I pre-ordered mine along with the new Thursday Next book, I'm not getting mine until Aug 3. Woe. I don't think that life is going to let me remain unspoiled.

*stomps feet* I'm still waiting on my copy of TN5 from the UK. Waaaaant.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Pickwick! *cuddles*

We all wait anxiously for TN5. I think half the librarians in my building have it on-order, and the other half are plotting to steal it from the rightful owners.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Got my TN5 already, still waiting on Harry Potter! Stupid Amazon.

....Harry Potter is coming out?

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

*smacks you*

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

People always do that, I don't get why. *totally innocent*

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

is it bad that my mind immediately tacked "of the closet?" onto your sentence there?

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

...Using the fact taht I kept tacking on "They're Italian" to the end of every scene in a movie I watched tonight? Nah.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Well, now I want to watch Mambo Italiano.

I work at a bookstore and somehow avoided having to work at the midnight party. Yeeeeeeees!

But I do have to work the 21st when the less rabid fans show up at 7 am. Boo.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

Boooo! But dude. Working at a bookstore. Want!

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

I was working in a bookstore when OotP came out.

"I need that new book that came out with a green cover..."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

I have no idea when I'm going to get mine. Hopefully, a Costco run will be needed and I can go along and pick a copy up.

*crosses fingers* 'Cause you know, there really is no food in this house.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

Even if there was, the solution would obviously be to hide it and demand a Costco run!
