Oh yes, thanks! Was at camp (dib dib dib) for a week up at Hebden Hey (though by the end it resembled glastonbury), and now am lounging around. Bliss.

Gemma's certainly around - I think at the moment, though, she's busy with a certain book.

Don't tell me they've found an 'undiscovered' Tolkein ????

I think it's more to do with a young Mr Potter...

I expect my free loan copy sometime next week.

Two of our Grand-Children have a copy EACH, and are both reading it as I type.

NO - I don't want to know the ending !!!!!!

Have you not heard?

Voldemort gets some nuclear weapons...

Probably the ones Saddam didn't have, hid, and we couldn't find !

I'm Here!.

I havn't been posting for a while because I've been on total Pottermania!. I finished the book in about 9 hours since it was the last one and I wanted to take it really really slowly to ebb out the ending.

I'm not going to post spoilers, I would never do that since I understand completely how it feels to be devastated by reading the ending before you are actualy there.

I'm exhausted, completely, which Josh knows since I sound half dead over the phone............
Did anyone see the que outside waterstones in London?. I was in that, quite near the end though since I went to a release party before hand which was immense.

Is it bad that my life is over now. I feel life I've fallen down a cliff and I have no direction now. Before hand everything was split into BDH and ADH: ( Before Deathly Hallows and After Deathly Hallows ) and now it's just AHP. That entire portion of my life seems finished. 10 years of obsessive fangirling and theorising about what's going to happen ( which turned out to be quite useful since nothing in the book actualy shocked me ) but now there's nothing. A wide gaping hole, a wound. I know Josh is going to say fill it with more tolkien but that has it's own corner. I'll just need some grieving time.

God, I'm so looking forward to september even more now. It seems like a brand new chapter in my life, especially as it comes right after DH. I do hope it is going to continue to be as a mazing as I thought it was in the induction week, which I can guess it will be.

I'm going to buy a school shirt soon. A new one, even though I have heard that you can get one second hand somewhere I think I would like a nice new one. Is Broadbridges the only place you can buy these? and does anyone know how much they cost?.

I think what I'm going to do with the rest of my summer is just kill my Classics reading list. It's so huge and I have ages to read them all by but I'm going to try and get through quite a lot of them. Any sort of head start is going to be helpful since I'm so behind everyone else in the class. ............

Do not mention the reading list.

Yay for JRRT!

Yay for JRRT but at the moment I'm concentrating on JKR. I will always be a Muggle more than I am a Tolkeinist.

The Reading list is cool, what wasn't cool was going into the library and taking out a book that said in huge letters ' Erotic Poems' on the front.

I finished HPTDH yesterday - cracking read, un-put-downable.
I'm a Tolkien fan first-and-foremost, but have been amazed how JKR has created such a deep and complete world, in a similar way to Tolkien.

Most impressed - will enjoy a discussion thread at some point - may be could start one called "SPOILER ALERT - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" then anyone can avoid it if they wish?

J

of course!

But, once I've had time to digest what happened and read it again. It was such a wonderful book.

Tolkien is better!

We are so not having this arguement!.

We so are.

Anyway, BoT,

How many times have you used the New Dep excuse, Gemma?

Um, not that many times. I didn't really need to, well except for the time I was late to role call which to be honest wasn't an excuse and was true. I honestly didn't know.
