I can't do the whole late night thing (although I did reserve a copy at Borders, I'm now thinking I'll just go into Costco tomorrow morning when they open and pick up my copy there instead). 
Now to focus on finishing the book I'm currently reading (as well as doing some actual work) so that I can start the new book when I get it

I never have before. I've always just run in the next morning to get the book, and I would do that again this time, but my 9-year-old really, really wants to go. He lost interest in HP 2+ years ago, but gained it back recently and tore through the books. He's really psyched, and especially since this will be the last HP event like this, I'm taking him to the Grand Hallows Ball.

We're going to an 11pm showing of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so on the trek back home we'll probably stop into the local Wally World to pick up a copy. If it's somehow sold out, then I'll copy polarpi and head to Costco in the morning.
I'm the one person who really doesn't care and hasn't read any of them, but the other four people in this house are counting minutes until the book is released.

I also had that spoiled for me. I think I am going to stay away from the internet till I am done with the book...
Link to midnight reading by JK Rowling
You are going to be able to listen to JK Rowling's reading at midnight BST. I don't think I will be gone to the Harry Potter trivia night, so I plan on listening.

I am also a silver. I am glad I went at lunch to get the wristband. I doubt my fiancee would want to wait around like we did for The Half-Blood Prince. This day is not moving fast enough!!
