We picked ours up last night, now we're too tired to red it! Live and learn.

Advance ordered it on Amazon. I got a notice today that it shipped. I should have it in about ten days.

No spoilers 'til after I've gotten it! ;-)

Picked up 3 last night. I'm up to page 103, and just got back from the post office where I mailed the other two books to Afghanistan and Iraq. I really am enjoying it, so far.

Our local bookstore had a HP party with costume contests, wand making, face painting and other stuff. It was pretty cool but it took until 2 am for me to get my book, I was only able to read the first chapter but already it is good. I'm dreading finishing this book.

Ordered mine from Amazon with 16 Jul USPS delivery. The last book on his last stop. Postman was SOOOO happy to be done.

- JKR's finest (to date)

- MUCH darker: more darker compared to OOTP than OOTP compared to GOF (hopefully that made sense)

- Shocking ending

- HBP wasn't anyone I had thought it would be (glad to find out it wasn't one of the obvious guesses)

- Although there are points that introduce the subject of the final book, there is still the big question (as all the books have): WHAT'S NEXT ?

Hope this post didn't spoil anything for anyone who hasn't read the book, yet. I tried being bland as possible.
