What a HP Week!
I know I'm very late to this party and probably the only one in this fandom not to have already posted something about the release date and the Dan pics. I'm very surprised that the book is coming out so 'soon'--not that we haven't been waiting for ages already. It's just that all that I've read in the last few months gave the impression that Rowling wasn't burning up the pencils in an effort to get this finished. I can see all the reasoning behind releasing it during the summer holidays but I guess the release of the film and the book in the same month has me surprised. I'm running the gamut of emotions about the release of #7, from totally ecstatic to just a little sad that canon will be over. And then the Dan/Equus pics. Whew! I think it can be safely said that he has left Harry behind. I hope he gets some good press about it once it opens and not the drivel currently going around. I expect full reports from all you lucky devils who will actually go to London to see the play.
