As we all know, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be FINALLY released to the public in about a week! Are any of you Potter fans, and do you have plans for the night of the release? Have you seen the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie? What Harry Potter character are you (or your kids) going to dress up as?
I have grown up with the Harry Potter series and was wondering what y'all thought about the phenomenon. I recently saw the latest movie, dressed in full Gryffindor regalia (maybe I'll post a picture!).

I was hooked when I finally decided to see what all the fuss was that my child was making. He has read all the books and knows it all. We went to the last book release together, in which he dressed up as Harry. Unfortunately, we are a little behind right now since he is away. I've been dying to see the movie but am holding off until he returns.
Can't wait for the final book! I'm still in a ponder about Snape...and worse, who dies?

And yes, I'd have to admit, I'm hooked on Potter. The degree of imagination shown in the whole series was great.
The concept of starting up a stairway and having it change directions was great fodder for discussions at work regarding directions that get changed faster than people can implement.
I wish I could use "patronum expectus" with the same results as the wizards !!

Well, I've never gotten into the whole HP frenzy, but must admit now I'm ready to start at the beginning with reading the books and seeing the movies..... We're doing an inventory now to see what we have and what we need to get.....
I've been seeing Daniel Radcliffe on some of the talk shows and he says he's very pleased with how the latest movie turned out..... I think he's just hoping to get beyond always being seen as "Harry," even though the role has been wonderful for him! He has appeared nude in Equus on the London stage, has done a TV movie for British television and also has an independent Australian movie coming out.

Was the Z shaped scar anywhere else, or just on his forehead?

4 days and counting! Woo Hoo!
I'm frantically refreshing my memory by re-reading The Half Blood Prince so that I will be "in the know" when the Deathly Hallows comes out.
I'll be at one of the Potter Parties on Friday night, but I won't be dressed in my wizard wear. That's a bit too much for me personally, but I enjoy seeing the folks who do like to dress up.
I'm hoping that Sirius is hanging out in Limbo and can communicate with Harry through the mirror because he was one of my favorite characters.
I don't think Harry, Ron or Hermoine will die. If they do, I'll be sorely dissappointed. Of course I didn't think she'd kill off Dumbledore either.......
Sooooo many questions!!!!
Who's gonna die? Harry? Ginny? Ron? Hermoine? Hedwig? Hagrid?
Is Snape really a good guy or just a fence rider who is neither good or bad? Why did Dumbledore trust him so?
What's the deal with the Dursleys? Can't help thinking there's more to their story.....
Have they told us who R.A.B. is? Is it Regulus Black?
Is Harry a Horcrux?
The excitement is just too much for me. I don't know if I'm gonna make it.

I can't believe the day is quickly approaching when all our questions will be answered. Of course, I'm still trying to get to the movie, hopefully next week.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to attend any midnight parties like we did last time. For those of you attending any, have a great time! My only hope is that I don't run into anyone that tells me or my family the ending before we get a chance to finish the book. Which may also mean, staying away from any tv's!!

| This is probably a dumb question, but as a non-parent, I am curious as to what the Northwest families with more than one child in the household of reading age or several children in the family who are Harry Potter fans did when the new book came out? As a for instance, if you have three reading age children in your family who are Harry fans, does that mean that you had to purchase 3 separate books? How do you satisfy the Harry frenzy in your household without going broke buying extra copies of the latest book?
