Not Broadway but, ok, who's getting the new Harry Potter?

Ok, I know it's not broadway, but who here is getting and reading the new Harry Potter this weekend? I myself ordered it on amazon and it arrives at my door saturday morning, can't wait!

I've seen both movies and enjoyed them (although I think Harry looks a lot like k d lang), but I haven't read any of the books. Are they really that good?

I agreed to go to Border's at midnight.

If there is a crowd, I will just send Rex in to "mark" one!

o no way, too expensive, just the reg offer, and then i had an extra 10% off from a friend, so I bought it for under $20.00 with delivery! woo hoo!

Can't wait

The Mrs is a big Harry Potter fan so I will pick up her copy (already reserved) at the local Barnes & Noble On Sunday

I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter movies, but everyone tells me the movies are so much like the books it's ridiculous. So I really see no point in reading the books if I can just sit and watch the movies. I could understand if the books were a little different from their movies (like the Hannibal Lecture books and the Anne Rice novels), but the Harry Potter ones are exactly as J.K. Rowling wrote them.

The books are awesome--and, yes, better than the films (which are fun).

I so can't wait to read this book!

I have one reserved at Barnes & Noble...won't be going in at midnight, but definitely sometime on Saturday.

Saturday is the Summer Solstice too. How witchy!!

I've also ordered it off of Amazon. It's supposed to be here saturday too. :)

There's a lot more detail in the books. Certain characters have been trimmed to the point of barely being there and some (the Poltergeist for example) have been cut out completely. Give the first book a try and see if you notice the difference.

The Hannibal Lecture books? "Now, Clarice. If I've told you once I've told you a hundred times that is [not] how to serve stewed brains!"

SOOO how did everyone like the book? (I'm a Narnia gal myself) I gather there is a death of a character( How scary for kids ) (sarcastic) Just a guess... The gameskeeper I'll bet !

Smart idea to release it right in the beginning of summer, for all those kids to turn off the TV and read!
