I'm not going to be queuing at midnight but I'm certainly getting it... probably the very next day.

I don't read the books, but my sister does. I've gotta tell her this. She'll be happy.

This is so good I didn't know it was coming out so soon! I would preorder it if it was offered in a soft cover issue but most popular books now only come in hard cover. I had to wait almost a year after the 6th book came out to get it offered in a soft cover addition and it costs less then the hard cover.

Good news just the same I am sure people are going to read it before me and tell everyone if Harry lives or dies at the end of it.

**Jocasta** · 02-28-2007, 10:30 AM

I much prefer the books, where as he films are definitely kids films or family emtertainment, the books are a good read for older folk too!

**Plastic Flute** · 02-28-2007, 09:13 PM

On Sat I met and had a lovely chat with wonderful author China Mieville. He also writes some childrens books, that are a great read for adults also. I dont know if you have ever heard of him but he so handsome and charming. I almost melted, Plus he autographed my copy of Un Lun Dun.

**Jocasta** · 03-03-2007, 07:16 AM

Cool stuff! I googled China Mieville and you're right, he looks very handsome. So you'd recommend his books?

I'm really excited! I would rather get the book than see the new movie. I hope Harry doesn't die. And I hope it's a satisfying conclusion.
