I got mine in the mail today. I ordered it online from Amazon. It amazes me how they were able to ship all these out, and they arrived on the same day the book was released. Now that is impressive organization. I really should reread the previous books, but that will have to wait now that the new one is in front of me. I am going to have to at least wait until I finish "The Historian". It is checked out from the library and I can't renew it. I am half way through it, though, so I hope to get it finished soon. I am sure I will end up starting this one soon anyway. This is supposed to be the darkest Harry Potter book, and another person close to Harry is going to die. I just don't want to hear what happens before I get it read--I hate ruining big surprises like that. I guess I will have to avoid reading any sort of review! I wonder what J.K. Rowling will do after she finishes the last Potter book. Of course she is rich enough she doesn't need to do anything. But how do you follow up Harry Potter?!
