I know that a lot of people are as excited as I am, but it’s a little bittersweet, isn’t it? The thought of actually having to say goodbye to Harry, Hermione and Ron is a bit sad…but we’ll always have our books to read and re-read. And the movies! Sadly, I had a busy weekend and a busy week, and so I have not yet had a chance to see Order of the Phoenix. Soon, I hope!
I’m going to be visiting my hometown this weekend, so Amazon is shipping my book there. Not that I’ll have time to read it. It’s going to be one painful weekend!
Of course, as in the past, various media outlets and critics are nattering on about how Harry is crap and adults who read HP should be ashamed of themselves. To them, I offer a hearty “neener, neener.” Harry Potter is magic, pure and simple.
And just for fun, here’s a YouTube clip spoofing on Welcome Back, Kotter:
