I ordered it from Amazon 6 months ago. Guaranteed for today. I have the email from 7/13/07 from Amazon confirming it. IT IS NOT HERE! WTF?

See SmJoe? THIS is why (yet another reason) I went last night. The last two books I had delivered, one on time, the other not. Granted I could've gone today and bought one of the many left over at WalMart. But I would've missed out on the experience. And isn't that what life is all about?

Tis not the destination, but the journey......

I'm still trying to finish 6 before starting 7, but this dang computer and the bottle of wine are making it hard to concentrate, especially since I've already read 6, and know how it ends, not looking forward to bawling my eyes out like I know I will. I cried for 3 days after reading HP6 the first time!

My shrink would be lovin' this.....

Ours came in the mailbox today, and Will had one delivered to camp. So we are a 2 copy family.

If you haven't read them, you won't get it. And the movies don't even come close, IMO.

Time to get in bed and make my eyes bleed!!

Philippa said that if you've forgotten what happened in books 5 and 6, you will get confused since this one really pulls from everything that's gone on previously.

She's not even going to give me her copy until I've re-read 5 and 6!

Oh, and one word of advice from Fyl: even if you're a die-hard Read the Last Chapter First kind of reader, resist the temptation!! Or it'll ruin the whole thing.

:angry: ...gttbm, you wench! You have ruined the experience for me!

I think it is great to see children and adults alike so excited for a BOOK! This is so much than waiting in line for playstations!

love you!!! Both my kids reread 5 & 6 last month to ensure a smooth transition into 7!!! They both LOVE LOVE LOVE the books! When driving back to Atlanta one year (from Destin) the 4th or 5th book had just come out. We bought one copy...but we had to stop somewhere along the way home for a second copy...quietest 6 hours in a car I have EVER experienced...therefore, I LOVE LOVE LOVE HP My kids say the movies are pretty good..buut no movie could possibly include all that material!
BTW...picked up a copy of 7 yesterday for Kaiboo...I forsee an entire trip to NOLA noise free...from Kaiboo...now, Cork...that is another matter.....:funn:

I strolled into the bookstore here in Fernandina yesterday morning and bought Deathly Hallows without any hassle. Didn't exactly pay WalMart prices, but oh well.
I've only read several chapters, and it is dark, almost sardonic, with sad events already occurring--so I get the feeling this last one will definitely live up to its title.
I appreciate y'all keeping the spoilers out of this thread.

...gttbm told me what happened!

:angry: ...gttbm, you wench! You have ruined the experience for me!

:nono1: Hey now! I simply gave you what you asked for. :roll:

OOPS! Beach Jacket's copy *did* come. How could I know that it did or didn't come yesterday if I didn't check the mail? Sometimes I can be such a moron.

I did EXACTLY the same thing! Mine was supposed to come by UPS this time. (Last time it was a special delivery by USPS; I didn't pick UPS on purpose--I don't like UPS.)

But when it wasn't here yesterday afternoon, I called UPS. They told me that they had sent it by USPS...it was in my mailbox the whole time.

Fine by me as long as I don't hear the ending before I read it!

Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who goofed. I was getting ready to call Amazon and fuss at them.
