Nope! Since I work for a book distributor there is a good chance that I can get my book few hours before the actual release date. You would not believe the security that goes into place for these books. I am so happy it's the last one!
Did you hear about the kerfuffle (to use a Flannery word) over the guy who plays Harry in the movies? Apparently he's appearing in some Broadway play in full frontal nudity and people are up in arms that he could do that AND be in a children's movie.
Naah. I went off the idea of Potter back when the last one was coming out-- I didn't even read the last one.
MEGAN: the stage play is "Equus" by Peter Shaffer. it DOES involve a nude scene, and it's one of THE most powerful stageplays in existance, partially BECAUSE of the nudity.
Anyway, he's an actor, and if he's gonna break out of the HP mold, THATS' the way to do it. Oh, and besides, just like abortion, if you're opposed to seeing his tallywacker on stage, DON'T BUY TICKETS. Simple solution, Q.E.D., and it didn't even involve using the Math Atheist cartoon.
Megan: I've heard about that too. Obviously, they won't be letting children in to see Equus, which is probably why he chose to do that play. I don't know what all the fuss is about.
Big Orange: You should perservere and finish the series.
Dirty: They are very compelling reading. Start with book one and I'd bet you will breeze through them all.

Do they read like children's books? I love the movies but haven't read the books. I wanted to read them...I just never have.
ReplyDeleteRaven: Lucky!

I cannot abide the term 'pre-order'. You're not ordering the opportunity to order the book when it comes out; you're actually ORDERING the book.
ReplyDeleteI think 'advance order' is a better term. I may have to write Amazon a letter.
And yes, I did pre-order the book. And yes, it looks like Daniel Ratcliff is going to be waving his wand on stage. Good for him.
Hey,*I* don't care what the guy does with his naughty bits. . .I was just sharing a bit of gossip.
ReplyDeleteAmazon's selling for $18.89. I haven't ordered it yet, but I will.

ReplyDeleteOh, Megan, I understand. I wasn't getting on your case. I was speaking of those crazy people out there.
ReplyDeleteFlannery,
ReplyDeleteI don't think Megan's responding to your comments. I think she's responding to Big Orange's.
"Oh, and besides, just like abortion, if you're opposed to seeing his tallywacker on stage, DON'T BUY TICKETS."
Megan,
Don't worry about Big Orange, he's having his period.
(Ooooh, he's gonna get me for that one.)
