Thoughts on HP7 release date

[annabtg]

Okay, is it a problem that I'm not all that excited about knowing the release date of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

First of all, I have nothing to look forward to, but a friends-list full of spoilers. Waiting about the Greek version to come out is out of the question, so I suppose I'll have to hope a shipment of the English version will arrive to a bookstore near me soon enough. Or that one of you fantastic people will manage to find and email me a Word document of the book. nene2811, are you out there? And let's not go near waiting outside bookstores in the middle of the night and stuff. Even if there *was* going to be such a hype, which I highly doubt (I didn't pay much attention to what happened last time around, but I'm predicting something along the lines of the bookstores bringing some copies a couple of days later, without making such a fuss except for the obligatory HP7 posters) it's not for me.

Secondly, the book coming out will signify the end of the HP series. I'm a fan of this series. I don't want it to end. Plain and simple.

And, lastly, it's coming out too soon. Yes, I did say "too soon". I was hoping it would take more than two years; I was hoping for a huge book, longer than OotP, that would tie all loose ends, bring in lots of backstory... you know, if it's going to be the last fix, make it a big one. And I know that JKR tying all loose ends wouldn't be very helpful for the fanfic writers, but there's always something you can work on.
It better be a good book, or I might have to resort to drastic measures. Like writing an original fantasy novel and getting it published to take people's minds off HP, or something.

See ya,
Anna.

P.S.: I really really must hurry and finish Through Times Of War.

Ahh, Anna, I completely agree.
Well obviously not on the Greek thing, although I feel for you, heh. But I really really hoped JKR would take her time over book 7... it being the last, and has to finish everything. I wanted her not to hurry it, cause I don't want it to end either, and I'd rather it be absolutely bloody stunning than just regularly good, if that makes sense. I know it'll be great no matter what, but... I sort of want to make the most of this little bit of time before it's all over.

Ooh, write an original fantasy novel! That would be incredible!

Exactly! I hate to think that Book 7 might have been written in a rush. That couldn't possibly work well.

An original fantasy novel needs originality and fantasy, I'm afraid. :p But I know I want to write *something*, so we'll see how that will turn out. :D

See ya,
Anna.

Oi! I'd send you a book the second it's out (how sad is it that the only reason there was a midnight release for book six in this town is that I annoyed the hell out of the local bookseller until he caved?) but if the Xmas card is any indication, the greek version would be out before the book made it there :/

Sad, you say? I find it magnificent! Beware of Gloria and her mad persuasion skillz, hehehe :D

And, no worries, it's the thought that counts. ;)

See ya,
Anna.
