ladynorbertSo damn excited now.
Actually, I just looked up at the clock and my excitement was dampened by the sight of a purple-pink flash. Bloody neuro condition. It was over very shortly, but still.
Okay, back to being excited. So here's how I'll be passing the evening.
Pick up Mountain Dew after work. Call Borders to find out what time the party starts. Agonize over choice of garments -- should I wear my white blouse with the Gryffindor striped necktie, or my Quidditch shirt? Get the guest room prepared, since that's where I'll be doing my reading; I have to make up the bed and add a few pillows. Do a load of laundry, since I need to wash my jeans. Kick back and plow through Half-Blood Prince in preparation. Play my Zeus city-building game to distract myself from excitement. Check six times to make sure my book reservation slip is in my wallet.
Go to Borders. Party. Get book. Clutch it to chest and mimic Daffy Duck: "MINE MINE MINE!" Run to car. Avoid temptation to look at the ending.
Come home. Get Mountain Dew and snackage. Hole up in guest room. Leave only to go to the bathroom. Read continuously from cover to cover. Watch sunrise. Post to journal about having completed book (I already know what I'm going to say, it will be short and spoilerless). Sleep. Post second entry later in the day, crammed with spoilers.
~ I've said this before, but I still think it has merit. All of the Horcruxes are somehow connected with the founders of Hogwarts. I think the final Horcrux will be Hogwarts itself, and the four houses will have to work together to destroy it.
~ Ron and Hermione will get together. They HAVE to.
~ Either Tonks or Hermione will catch the bouquet at Bill and Fleur's wedding.
~ This one is based on a minor spoiler I read in the New York Times review; highlight to read. According to the review, Harry will journey to his parents' old home in Godric's Hollow, and we will learn more about both his family and the Dumbledore family. I think we're going to find out that the Potters and the Dumbledores are related, and that both families are descended from Godric Gryffindor.
~ Ginny's prior connection with Voldemort will be important somehow.
~ Lucius Malfoy will continue to be hot. No, wait, I'm sorry -- that's a prediction for the next movie, not the next book.
