OOTP!!

I just got home from a midnight showing of OOTP and I really ought to try to get to sleep. But here I am instead, posting. :-D

I LOVED IT! OMG, so so much. It was just about everything I hoped it would be! ( SPOILERS for the film. )

(no subject)

Ladybird Johnson is dead. :-(

9 days?

I stopped at the grocery store on the way home from seeing OOTP again with phaballa, charlotteschaos and her hubby, and stargategirl82, and I was walking past the book section where they have this big DH display with the number of days left until the book release.

And it said 9 days.

I stopped in front of it and said "Oh my god", because seriously, single digits. I mean, how can that be? And I stood there in my Ravenclaw t-shirt with broccoli and hummus in my hands, and I started to cry. In the middle of the fucking grocery store.

How can it be down to single digits? How can it be that in a number of days I can tick off on my fingers, it will all be over? I'll have the last Harry Potter book in my hands and will be mere hours away from finding out how the story ends. I'm SO NOT READY for that. I can't even wrap my mind around it really. I've known it was coming for a long time, of course, but it was somehow all theoretical until I saw that sign. Nine days.

What will it be like to know how it ends? To know whether Snape is really faithful to Dumbledore or not? To know once and for all who lives and who dies? To watch those pages left to read get fewer and fewer, until the last word is read and that's all -- no more Harry Potter?

I can't even begin to imagine. I don't want to. Oh god.
