Actually, my hints will spoil nothing. Trust me. I LOVE spoilers but I would never intentionally do something that mean and bitchy to people who actually want to be surprised. Besides, I cry at everything. For instance, I cried when Bambi's mother died, I cried when Kermit married Miss Piggy and I cried when Luke burned Darth Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi. EVERYTHING makes me cry. Happy endings and sad endings.
Nothing spoiled!

Just think, in twenty-four hours, most of our noses will be buried in the last Harry Potter book. I just finished Book 6, so I am ready to read.

15 hours people (well, 15 hours my time at least)!!!!

However, I don't think the book store across the street from me will be open at midnight, but I might pop by after work just to make sure. I really want to be able to pick up the book at 12:01am tomorrow.

They are closing a major street (part of it anyway) tonight in down town Toronto and turning it into Diagon Alley. It's times like these that make me wish I had children, or at least someone who was a Harry Potter nut like me to go with.

The door is open and JKRowling.com. Just though you might like to know.

The anticipation is killing me. I've seen some fake spoilers that cracked me up. The spoilers don't bother me too much because I enjoy knowing the plot and how the events happened, but I've been told they're all fake.
Best fake I saw was this:

I swear to god it's a total fake so please read it and laugh.

This had me peeing my pants laughing.

Finally, BBC Radio 1 does a fake spoiler with every new book. They set it up so well yesterday that they got death threats and some chick hysterically crying on the phone. Oh god it was hilarious. I mean I'm a huge fan and I've been avoiding spoilers like the plague but that doesn't stop me from laughing.

Swear to god I will be waiting at my front door tomorrow morning with a crisp $20 bill in my hand, ready to hug and tip my UPS guy. My mum's in England. If I don't wind up flying over to join her, I asked her to pick me up the copy with the locket on the front.

EXACTLY. I was coming here to bid you all farewell for the next couple of days! I'm boycotting the internet entirely until the thing is properly done!

Woohoo, and I haven't taken the first 2 tests either.

Great job! Thanks for reminding me, I just went to check mine, too! I scraped an Acceptable. I'm a little disappointed, but I am eligible for a job at Flourish and Blotts, but I'm leaning more toward Weasley Wizard Wheezes now...

Bye everyone!
