No cape? :( No issues with cosplay......I was just picking ;)

Where are the pictures? :D

Because I was working, nobody had time to take pictures of the party or my outfit. I wish I could have gotten some pictures though. One of my co-workers dressed as Snape. Melissa, our kids department lead dressed as the Fat Lady. It was awsome. Too bad its the last one. But of course, there are still the movies to be released. I can always dress up for the last two remaining movies.

Go Ravenclaw! (Sorry, big HP fan here. I was sorted into Ravenclaw despite my horrible GPA)

I thought I was getting the book on Saturday (preorder), but now I won't get it until this weekend, which is KILLING ME.


I've been hiding away from ANYONE I know who is reading it, as I want to be able to find out myself.


Damned Amazon.com and their slow shipping... :mad:

Well Ive read it all- but of course, I would never spoil- and I LOVE it!! Its great, I would suggerst it to anyone :)

I got it, and read it all already, specifically because I was afraid someone would spoil it for me.
Someone did get a little tiny spoiler to me, and I was mildly annoyed. I did NOT read the last book, so some stuff didn't make as much sense. So I got it today, and will read it too!
I enjoyed it and I hope everyone else enjoys it WITHOUT spoilers making through the defenses!!
And I love people dressing up! It's all good fun! Besides, how many folks think WE are all weirdos just for owning snakes?
I guess we'd ALL get into Slytherin!!

I think thats kind of neat. My Wife and boys do the same thing and have been doing so since the first book. Even though my boys are now 13 and 15, they still like to have Mom read it to them. It's a nice way to spend time with the family. Also, since my wife likes to buy things online instead of going out to stores, we don't even have the book yet since it's still being shipped. So, I agree, no spoilers please.

I've been avoiding HP people like the plague. I was even afraid to read this thread because I thought someone might have seen it and included a spoiler just to spite everyone. >_< I'm actually taking a break from reading it right now. I just cant sit and read in one long block. I have to take it slow and enjoy it.

All of my friends are HP fanatics, so we all respect each other's reading paces and wait to talk about the book until we've all had a chance to laugh, cry, and let it sink in. :)

I didnt really have any interest in the books when they first came out. It was my mom who picked up the first one for herself and then decided it was something we could all do together. So every night we'd sit down and read two chapters or so. We were I think almost to the end of the second book when my mom passed away. I was 14 at the time, and my brother and sister (twins) were both 9. It was a completely unexpected death, and naturally we were all devastated. I've continued reading them religiously ever since because they remind me of her, and hearing her read out loud to us. Plus, I figure she'd like to know what happens. So I always read them and make sure to tell her. She really liked the series...

:love: :aww:

I see a lot of people read out loud to their families. My fiance and I were considering reading outloud to each other, but I have a problem with reading outloud. Its not that I'm too shy to read outloud, its just that I never learned to read outloud. Even the simplest words I stumble over, yet when I read to myself I read pretty fast. I'm not sure why I can't read outloud, but we have decided to form our own little two person book club. We will take turns picking out a book for the two of us to read. Should be fun. I'm up to page 410 in HP7 now.

please don't use the term "gay" as it is offensive to some people - aleesha

I was going to PM you Aleesha, since you seem to be the only one offended. But if no one else could tell, I was using it to prove a point, the point being what people have been telling me about Harry Potter.

qiksilver, might I point out that using the term gay in any derogatory manner is offensive to me and possibly many others here on BP. I request that you do not use the term again.

Now back to Harry Potter. I'm up to 472. I'm getting to a really good part. I'm so excited. I'm taking a little break before getting lunch and start reading it again. I can't wait to find out the outcome of the Harry vs Voldemort struggle. :sabduel:
