I came home today and had a lovely e-mail from amazon.ca informing me that my order has been processed and will be shipped shortly. This can only mean that at some unknown time on Saturday some delivery guy will bring a package to my door. I, like millions of others around the world, shall rip it open and hop on the roller coaster known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!
In preparation for the big event I have been rereading all of the books in the series. I got behind a bit (bloody work) but am on track to finish # 6 tomorrow. Whew
I have tried to avoid all of the spoiler sites that have been appearing on the internet like gnome's in the Weasleys garden. I know that reading the book will be a challenge. Characters that I have 'known' for ten years will be killed, others I have despised will turn out to be heroes (I predict).
Who will play a roll in the final book that is different than what they have played to date? I predict Draco Malfoy, Snape, Dudley, and Aunt Petunia for starters. Luna and Neville will play a significant role as well. my sense is that Dobby will be a significant chacter and yes, even Kreacher.
The final question - will Harry die? Of course not. Heroes never die.
And a scandal. Today the New York Times posted a review of the book on its website . . . here. Apparently some books were being sold well before the Friday at midnight release. JK Rowling is NOT amused.
Enjoy! We'll wait for your review.
