JK outs Dumbledore.

Checked out f_w, and nothing yet. Where is the splodey?!

EDIT: Especially since this news appears to have broken, like, AT LEAST 16 HOURS AGO. That's what I get for sleeping instead of checking the intertubes last night.

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! We all know that's what we were REALLY waiting for.

But seriously, the book was wow. Enough to bring me back out of LJ lurkdom, obviously. Didn't finish until last night because I was still working through HBP on Saturday, and I didn't want to speed-read through it again... I think my pulse may have finally reached normal

I guess I hit a milestone in my driving career today: I locked my keys in my car for the first time. And at the worst time, too... I had to call my mom to bring me the other key, and she wasn't supposed to know where I was at the time because it had to do with a surprise for my parents' anniversary. Grrrrr.

( A few slightly more coherent HBP reactions. Spoilers (duh) )

*stupefied*

*still trembling*

How.....long.....till....Book 7.....

can't stand it..

Maybe in the Harry Potter universe, Lord of the Rings is real ancient history!

...

Cue the blank stares.

And then the links to 50 million pages of discussion of this theory in the HP fandom.
