The countdown is on! We're all waiting. Let's talk about it while we're waiting.
This countdown ticks down the time to both the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film.

That is a very sweet offer. Actually, I love having the book and racing away from my office each evening to curl up with it and read it until I just zonk out.
And there'll be people who DIDN'T order waiting anxiously to borrow it when I'm done. I learned how this works last time around. ;-)
There aren't any WalMarts or Barnes and Nobles or anything like that where I live.
There are some Targets, though....OK, OK....that was bad.
Potter Ping!
You really HAVE been there too long, darlin'...
Badda Bing!
Only if you start calling it "Tar -- zhay"
Think Ron and Hermione will finally make it official?
Harry and Ginny?
Will all four of them be standing at the end?
Did Dumbledore really die and is Snape secretly a good guy?
UGGHHH.
Wife and bought two copies this time after fights over whose turn to read it was last time. Hoping Amazon doesn’t get too behind in shipping them.
If they do, then Ron is definitely a goner . . .

. . . and he might get killed, too!
Ba dum dump!
My guess is that Hagrid and Percy get whacked. One of the Potter sites just reported this week that Kreacher the elf plays a big role in book 7.
In previous books, it’s been established the Voldemort’s ability to exist is closely tied to Harry’s life. If Voldemort dies, does Harry also have to die?
It’s going to be the end of an era for me. Almost ten years of waiting for the next book.
My husband has been informed that I get the book first. I can always put another copy on preorder at B&N if he has a problem but my HP fan cred is better. Heh, I was at a friend’s last weekend and he was showing off his deluxe edition HP books and asking me if I thought he should get that again, so I mentioned how I collect the series in British... guess I won that geek contest.
Sorry. Forgot where you were. There ARE a lot of FReepers, you know. :p
Rowling has said that someone will die in the last book. Who do you think it is?
I certainly wouldn’t mind if that annoying Draco Malfoy turned out to be one of them.
I hope it’s Percy. I know a Weasley gets whacked, and I don’t think I can give up any of the others. At lease we know it won’t be a massacre....don’t we?? *Whimper*
There ought to be a law.
Actually the original UK version had a different title than the US title.
That’s reason 001 why I have the British versions as my “permanent collection”. It’s “Philosopher’s Stone”, thank you very much.
JKR has said that only 2 characters (besides Voldemort) die in “Deathly Hallows.” The Weasleys have taken their share of heartache so far - Molly’s brothers killed (Gideon and Fabian Prewitt), Ginny kidnapped, Arthur bitten by a snake, Ron poisoned, and Bill maimed. Since Percy’s such a snot, I figure he will either get whacked or see the error of his ways.
In British? What’s the difference?
