Harry Potter Fans

Come out, come out, wherever you are! 

Am I the only one who has pre-ordered the 6th installment? 

I've not pre-ordered, but I can't wait. 

When is it due out?  I should do for Rich!!!!

It's due out on 16 July.  You can pre-order from Amazon.co.uk.  If you have a Borders bookshop, they are also doing pre-orders.

JULY!!!!!  Wow, you guys are dedicated   I'm sure the time will fly by.  Thanks for the info!!!

JULY!!!!!  Wow, you guys are dedicated  

You have no idea.  I used to work in a bookstore in the States.  The demand for Harry Potter books and other merchandise was tremendous!  Oh, the lines when the books come out!!  Oh, the endless questions from fans, begging information, before the books are released!!  Then, there were the "Harry Potter Parties" (I was nearly made to play Hermoine.  I managed to be off the day of the party, however.  Now that I have a new appreciation for the books, however (thanks to my husband), I would be honoured to play a part in such a party -- not as Hermoine, though.  Afterall, let's be serious, I'm a 30 year old woman.  Perhaps, a Dementor (I'm only half joking; I think I would be great at it)!

I'm sure the time will fly by.

And...no, it won't.  LOL.

I'm taking the day after the release off, b/c I know I won't be able to put that book down till the wee hours of the morning.  I got hooked on book three and have been eagerly awaiting each new installment.

I think I might discover the thrill of going at midnight... I've never done that before.
I had an acting teacher I couldn't stand, and nicknamed him Gilderoy Lockheart.
(he loved to talk about himself)

It's my husband's birthday, I'm so upset-I won't be able to spend the day reading!

I am SOOO excited tho!

What's funny is that JK Rowling has stated publicly that she based Lockheart's character on her ex-husband.  She stated s/thing to the effect that her ex is probably going around taking all the credit for dreaming up Harry Potter.  Talk about sweet revenge!  Bet the guy's kicking himself he treated her so poorly.

F***in' RIGHT ON.

What a great, creative way to express... erm, an opinion.

ok - don't laugh -- but I haven't read a one yet!  I've been LOOKING for a while now -- and I think I'm going to have to start.  Yes?! (duh I know)

Ok - question one

Is there a different ADULT version of the books -- or not?

Usually, an 'adult' version just means they put a different type of cover on it.
I got hooked when I started hearing all the hoopla when the 4th book came out; I though, fine, let's see what this kids' stuff is all about, and picked up the first one, which was the only one available in paperback at the time... and have not been able to put them down since.

But just GET ONE!!  I don't think they do have 'adult' versions, because the artwork is so good on the covers, and I think they put 'adult' covers on for those who are too embarrassed to show what they're reading... .who cares?!?!  We all know, most of us LOVE Harry!

In fact, I'll take this opportunity to plug my own article, which I've no idea if anyone's read it:  http://www.uk-yankee.com/articles/kuyperama/index.php?itemid=19 - perhaps not fantastic writing, but... should be good for a laugh anyway.

Is there a different ADULT version of the books -- or not? 

I've seen the 'adult' versions, but I believe it's just the cover artwork that's different.

It is just the cover art, I have copies of both versions of the fifth book.
