I just received a rather interesting email from Waterstones and I thought that some of you might find it suitably interesting too.

On my birthday ... and Harry's ... and Joanne's ... of course! :D

ganimede February 11 2016, 21:45:14 UTC

Well, it had to be on your birthday, didn't it? :) Do you think you'll get it?

meathiel February 12 2016, 06:14:01 UTC

It's not on Amazon yet but I think it will be sooner or later. And yes, I'll probably get it.

(I tried to get tickets for the show and didn't succeed - they were already sold out for most of October when they went on sale ... a few months ago!)

ganimede February 14 2016, 18:54:08 UTC

It isn't? It was on the UK and US Amazon as soon as it was announced.

The tickets probably sold out immediately, I dread to think how much they would have cost though.

oohh to get it or not to get it..

dilemma's dilemma's :o)

ganimede February 11 2016, 21:48:50 UTC

I know! Decision, decisions.

By the way, it's dilemmas, not dilemma's. English doesn't use the apostrophe to make a plural. That's a Dutch thing :P

ah really??? no ' ? Now thàt's why my spellcheck marks something red and i have no clue why.

thanks for clearing it out

ganimede February 14 2016, 18:58:36 UTC

Apostrophes in English are just to donate possession, as in Nathaniel's dilemmas, or when there are missing letters in contractions in words like don't and can't. Using apostrophes for plurals is a huge no-no but it's still a common mistake, even with native English speakers. I'm surprised no one has mentioned that to you before!

I got the same email, not sure i'm interested, a script books a bit different, maybe it'll lead to performances tho?

ganimede February 14 2016, 17:06:53 UTC

Like the show in the West End that opens on 30th July? That's why they've printed the script - apparently there were so many fans disappointed because they wouldn't be able to see the play but now everyone has access to the content of it at least.

I Meant further performances :P you know, like am dram companies doing Discworld etc

ganimede February 18 2016, 20:53:35 UTC

There are am dram performances of Discworld? I wasn't even aware there was a professional one! But knowing how tightly controlled anything to do with Harry Potter is, I rather doubt there'll be anything outside of the West End or Broadway. Certainly not for a while anyway.
