So, who's pre-ordered? Who's excited? Who's going to spend all day reading it and end up going to sleep at 5am Sunday morning?

Me, me, me, though I am not sure if I will finish it that quickly (Not as fast at reading English as Spanish)

Prediction: Harry dies.

Prediction: Voldermort dies.

I'll wait till my sister reads it, then get the book from her. Should be a good one, hopefully the best! 

I actually hate this time before the release. I have to pretend every link is another *SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE OH SNAP LOL* link and have to wait for other people to click the link and reply first.

I get a 49% discount through Amazon

And don't mind too much about the wait for shipping since I won't have time to read it until a few days after it's released. 

ha! I got 50% off through Amazon.co.uk   

WARNING TO ALL:

according to slashdot someone has managed to leak the content of the book (taking a photo of every page in the book):

so I'm sure there will be a whole bunch of people out there who will be mean and spoil it for everyone. I'm actually really worried at the moment. So be careful with what you read...

Saw it last night.

First time I have read the book before the movie - and I am very glad I did so. I didn't mind the movie, and can appreciate the issues they had turning such a long book into a movie - but that doesn't excuse what they did. The story was almost destroyed (not going to add any spoilers in here) - no explanation of Kreacher/what he did, how did the Dementors get there, the whole halfbreed centaur thing, Hagrid's mission, etc...

Goblet of Fire still my fav HP movie, and the only one I want to own at the moment. Will start reading book 6 soon...

I agree, Goblet of Fire was a way better movie than Order of the Phoenix, it's too bad they can't just make a five hour movie to include everything :)
