Edit:
About 40 minutes to go before the book is released here in America.

Havoc, you gave me an idea:

Seeing Moxco. talk crap: 20 going-on-my-nerves
Seeing Daxter King talk s**t: 800 going-on-my-nerves
Seeing Havoc's tiger avatar that looks like it wants sex: 15,000 going-on-my-nerves
Seeing Ghost's common sense: 5 going-on-my-nerves
Seeing the general "idiocity" and excitement: Priceless........

No, I am serious, thats the entire book, it just repeats those events in every chapter.
Yeah! Just like in all the other versions of the pre-release I found online.

Has anyone seen CRACKED's analysis on the top 6 questions potter fans are aksing about? very humourous....

It doesn't WANT sex, it's already HAD sex. That's its satisfied expression.

Nope, I meant the non-existing word "idiocity" to describe a non-existing forum, itself. We're all imaginary figures-mindless drones.

Well, the books is now here. And now mother tells me that if she had the money and knew it was at midnight this morning she would have took me to Wal-Mart or some bookstore(she thought it was tonight).

My Brother, My Brother's Girlfriend and Myself went out at 11:30pm last night as the book was selling at Midnight. We did that in order to get the book. It was at Asda for £5. And we managed to get a copy. I'm still reading it. It's pretty good so far.

Had a quick look at some of the spoiler discussions at HP fansites. Lots of crying and sadness over spilt milk (deaths).

It's really quite funny.

I'm waiting for my dad to finish reading it because he wouldn't let me read it first.

I already know who dies and a few do make me sad but the rest of the people I don't really care about

Even though the last chapter (epilogue) was a bit too happy, this book was most excellent. I suppose the extreme cheeriness of the end counters naturally the extremely dark places this book and the last two have explored. I was surprised about the death toll that racked up by the end, many of those deaths really shocking and tragic. Overall, is one of my favorite books in the series and ties if not surpasses Half Blood Prince in my opinion, even though the book broke many traditions when it came to setting and some of the really light hearted moments in past books. I have not decided whether it will beat Goblet of Fire though, but as I said highly satisfying conclusion to a truly "Magical" series.

I finished it at 3:30 last night. I recommend to anyone who hasn't read it yet (and why the hell would you be in this thread if you hadn't?) not to read past page 450 without plenty of time on your hands. The first 2/3 of the book were rather slow but the climax was the best out of the series.

She's done a good job of confirming some of the fan theories yet at the same time doing them differently enough to still be satisfying. I'm happy with the way it ended.

I finished the book three days after getting it, and overall I thought it was a really good book. Yeah, the setting for most of the book was different, but altogether a good end to the series.

Just finished reading it this morning (har, I'm slooow...). I must say, it's an absolutely gorgeous story, anyone who hasn't already read it needs to do so asap. Harry pretending to be dead near the end was pretty 'o_o' for me, but that was cool.
...Yeah. I liked it muchly.

Neville's Grandma is the ultimate badass. She couldv'e pwned Voldemort easy if she'd wanted, she just wanted Harry to have the satisfaction.

I think this topic is warranted for a big *SPOILERS* in the topic title, Nate. I've seen at least 10 already.

Fair point Havoc, I'll edit it.

I'm reading the book, rather slowly as going out and getting wasted is interfering with my nightime reading, but I already know what happens.
