Harry Potter madness

Nothing, really. It's just a little weirdness of mine. I always feel like the British edition is the REAL first edition coz it's from UK and JK Rowling is from UK! LOL.

I can understand that.

Interesting... what is different about the British edition?

did you have fun? The crowds we say were having a good time. There were a few people that seemed uptight and worried that they wouldn't get one or something. The bookstores in my town actually had parties, people dressed up. It was crazy and fun.

I am with you on that. We did not buy the book that night, and I probably wont buy it for another week or so. We just went to experience the crowds and didn't even need to get out of our car. It was fun.

Oh, I loved Nancy Drew! thanks for the response, Robin.

You are so right, it has been wonderful to see children getting excited about reading again.

Thanks. It was a fun family outing..... albetit, at midnight.

yes, in my teens and twenties I would have been having fun in the crowd. As it was, we just drove by and stayed in our car. The crowds were outside the store and we could watch it all from the parking lot. We didn't buy the book that night. In fact, I still haven't bought it yet.

I agree about not wanting one of the first of a new item. We didn't even buy a book that night, didn't wait in line, in fact never even got out of the car..... there was enough excitement happening outside the store that we did not need to. thanks for the response

The following is from the http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk JK PLANS 8TH BOOK FOR HARRY HARRY Potter author JK Rowling has revealed plans to write an eighth book. Rowling had always said she would write just seven Harry Potter books, one for every school year at Hogwarts. But she has decided she may write another book for charity after she finishes the series using all the ideas she has had to leave out of books so far. The book would be an encyclopaedia of the wizarding world, including plots and background about the characters she has had to leave out of the five books she has already written. She said: 'I think it highly unlikely I'll write more novels.

Hmmm, I haven't heard anything about an 8th book. Yes, lots of fanatics in the US too.

It was a blast. My son giggled at all the people who dressed up in costume. It was crazy, but fun.

thanks, my son enjoyed it very much.

in teacher talk (I am an ex teacher) that is referred to as providing them with a print rich environment. Good for you providing that for your kids. They will love you for it, I'm sure they probably already do.

Thanks honey! They are both doing very well at school and love to learn new things from any form of media! xxx

lol you really read the last page? lol

I am with you on that... it will be sad to know that it is over when I have finished reading it. I like to read a little each day too. I've never been one to stay up all night reading a book.... I enjoy the aspect of having something to look forward too.
