Default Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Quote:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is officially released to the public today. If you are wondering who the hell is Harry Potter, wow... where have you been for the past 10 years man? But don't fret because I know there are bound to be those sceptics that just about to jump on the bandwagon following all the hype from the 5th Harry Potter movie, Order of the Phoenix and also the release of the 7th final book. I'm one of them. I bought the 4th book way back but only read it half way. You bet I'll be going on a reading marathon when I get the time. LOL!

For starters, wikipedia is a good site to visit if you want to know more about Harry Potter.

There are news that people were lining up 3 days ago to be one of the firsts to get a hand on the much-awaited final book in the Harry Potter 7-book series in UK and US. It even rained in London. OMG...

One lucky fan in Maryland got her book on Tuesday (4 days before the official launch) after a mix-up by the online book retailer. Unfortunately, the 17-year-old is only half way through the book. If I was her, I'd have finished the book by Wednesday and tell everyone the ending. Muahahahaha... I wonder whether the online retailer will get sued for this for leaking the book so early. Although by accident, but if you accidentally killed someone, you'll get punish too right? Well, we'll see. (Full entry...)

Yeah book party's were happening all over. I wish I could have got to one. But had to work.

I would have liked to have gone to one and while there met me a nice 25-35 year old "witch" to date.
