Actually, I've gotten Chocolate Frogs at Borders. Unfortunately, they don't jump.

*sheepish grin* Uh, yeah, that would be my fault! I'm a ditz! Do you know if the Chit Chat moderators can change it?

Bookstores are a good place to find Bertie Bott's. They're getting more and more common. I've also found them on plenty of candy aisles, and you might be able to order them online from Jelly Belly.

I think the grass ones taste good.

For anyone else in or near New York, you can get all kinds of neat HP candy at Dylan's Candy Bar in east Midtown, 60th and 3rd. They have HP spin pops, Chocolate Frogs, the Every Flavor Beans, and some other stuff I'm not remembering.

Same here.

My husband, who works for a library, just finished cataloging it. He typed the first two paragraphs out for me (just to "whet my appetite," i.e. mess with me), then said that they need to lock it up until Saturday a.m. :P

I don't remember. I'm very new to the area, so I didn't fully get where exactly he was talking about. I was working at the end of Church st. and he acted like it was right near us. Maybe near the T station? Sorry I don't know more!

I am waiting....I am looking forward to all 800 and some pages!

I'm actually contemplating going to Borders Friday night and standing in line for it... problem is I have to work early the next morning. I don't know how easy it's going to be to snag a copy Saturday afternoon.

I didn't pre-order because no one is going to be home on Saturday, so it wouldn't have been worth it.

I ought to kick myself.

I have read just about every spoiler and plot theory out there. Instead of doing everything that I can to take my mind off of this book, I go to MuggleNet to see if there is anything new. Well, I saw that Amazon and AOL have an excerpt from the audio CD. Naturally, I listened to it and now, I can hardly stand it. I don't know why I am determined to ruin this experience for myself.

June 21 cannot get here quick enough for me. I need to be put out of my misery.

BTW - I bought some Bertie Bott's at Wal-Mart.

I too, got my message today from Borders to remember to pick up my copy.I am debating about whether to pick it up a midnight Friday or wait until Saturday morning.I am so glad that I preordered too.When I reserved my copy in January,I was # 331 on the list.I am sure it has tripled since then.

MooseGirl · #**103** 06-18-2003, 11:44 PM

Argh!!

I'm peeved.

Just found out today that Chapters IS having a release party friday night but I can't go now cuz I bought a concert ticket yesterday(i thought it'd be a good way to keep my mind off HP)! It wasn't on the website though...I knew I should've called...stupid me, too computer dependant!

Well, I do have the flavour chart for my Bertie Botts, and I am silly enough that I will try ALL of them!!!hehehe, I'll let you know how the vomit ones taste!

I have had Chocolate Frogs too! I got them at Toys r Us! Although they don't jump, they do come with wizard cards!! Collect them all!

So I reread PoA yesterday and started GoF today...everything will be fresh in mind for saturday!

Grrr...I wish I was one of those lucky ppl who've wandered into walmart or health food stores and were sold OotPaccidentally! Lucky muggles!

Vomit isn't that bad, but IMHO, the dirt ones are uncanny likenesses!

The way I've always looked at it is I can always spit them out!

The wizard cards don't move though!

Me too. My luck doesn't get that good, though!

I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST DID!!!!!

My husband is going to be out of town for almost a month starting this coming Sunday. In a fit of niceness that I instantly regretted, I told him that he could have custody of Goblet of Fire during his trip.

WHAT WAS I THINKING?????
