Tomorrow night at midnight, we'll be there at the Magic Tree Bookstore in Oak Park to pick it up. Note that the seventh book comes out in the seventh month, on the 21st of the month. That number is of course a triple seven, and more importantly, it's the birthday of magical me.

Piers and WH are coming up tomorrow to help celebrate magical me, and they may also say hello to Hambone, the cats, and this whole HP thing in passing. But seriously, when magical me's on the scene, what more do you need?

Nothing, that's what! Bwa ha ha ha haaa!

Boy, are we looking forward to it. Our friends are coming to town! Our books are coming to town! I'll shortly be 36! I have Two Hearted Ale in the fridge!

It almost all makes up for the part in Deathly Hallows where Remus betrays Snape and Harry. I, for one, did not expect Fenrir Greyback to have that kind of control over his progeny. Talk about a twist end!
