So, as most of you know (cause I saw you there!) Jon and I went to Boarders in tysons to buy our Half-Blood Prince's.
What a fun time. We had the most amazing group of everybodies to sit with while we waited for our numbers to be called. Me and Jon, Natasha, Tammy, Patrick, Jeremy, Miranda, Betsy, Jesse and Thomas, and someone or other I'm leaving out. Jon brought speakers and I brought my ipod, and we sat in the jewish history section and listened to music with everyone, drinking coffee and tea and swapping bad work stories.

Jon and I got our numbers called around 12:45, and when I got up to the counter, I could not, for the life of me, find my moneys. So JJ bought me the book. He is a god.

I am going to take a minute here to apologise for my typing; two fingers are bandaged and I'm on moms computer.

So, JJ and I went to his place, wqhere I read aloud to him as he cleaned. Pat and Jere joined us after 1/2 an hour or so (was it more?) and together, we spent from about 1:45-4:00 Am reading the first 5 chapters out loud. We had a ton of fun, too.

I got home and read until 9AM, when i finished it. I now can't sit still.


DUMBLEDOOOOOOR!

*achem*
Okay, so I totally never bought Harry/Ginny before, but Rowling sold it. When he kissed her, I head the screams of 1000000 fangirls echo through my head. And could Hermione adn Ron love each other any more? Shut up, H/Hr shippers.

I missed Hagrid. As a whole, I didn't feel that they spent so much time on classes this year, and I'm not sure if its cause there was a decreased courseload, or what, but we saw more than one of LOCKHART's classes, for gods sake, why not Snapes?

DUMBLEDOOOOOOR!

I've been saying for weeks, since the full cover of the extended edition came out that this was going to be a memory book. I am suppressing the urge to call and gloat at Tom, caue I know he wont read it til Monday. Stupid girlfriend dating him for 6 months. Noise.

Is it just me, or do the witches, in general, seem to be stronger than wizards?

RAB! WTF?
R.A.B. Regulus A. Black. Could it be? We don't know what he was killed for.. Probably not, but HOLY SHIT, what if the real locket has been in number 12, Grimmund Place the whole time?

When is book 7 coming out?


I loved it. I want to read it again. It was so fucking good, I didn't notice it was a hard-back book.

RAB

That's what I thought at first. Too obvious? Regulus is dead, what good would that do the storyline?

Re: RAB

I don't know. Prooves something something about this or that. And makes Harry do whatsit about anything. Yes. Chopchop.
(Really, what other purpose does Reggy serve, besides making Serius the little pureboold who could? And why bring him up twice in the beginning of the book if they're just gonna be like "Haha, it was Reginald Alamander Booster! He is the key to all of it, SUCKERS!")

Re: RAB

Also, Regulus couldn't have done it alone. There was someone else there, Dumbledoor said it was a two person job.

Teehee, I read mine copy all night as well.

and I'm seconding Regulus as RAB, as it would be really odd for Rowling to introduce and entirely new character with no hinty-hints this late in the series, you know?

Wouldn't it be funny if all the Horcuxes were sitting in Grimmauld Place? That makes 7 rather short.

"Hey Harry, what are all of these things?"
"Holy crap! *smashy smashy!*"
"Well, lets go fight Voldemort then."

Yeah, I have a theory about that.. I think DD was off about Nagini. A very clever snake, no doubt, but I think Harry himself is the 6th horcrux. And then we get to have a lovely tragic ending, what with the self-sacrifice and such. Is it book 7 yet?

ooooo, that's devious. Or, maybe Nagini is, and Harry is really the unknown "something from Gryffindor or Ravenclaw".
