Finally, a sigh of relief. Not necessarily for the book's release but for all the trouble I've been through this morning. Waking up at 6 am on a Saturday is already a big leap. It's just not me. But if not for a scheduled check-up and the task of getting my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows from the bookstore, I'd say I'm still in bed right now.With the book now in my possession, I think my weekend will be full. I wonder if I'll sleep? Hmmm... I guess, that would depend on the pacing of the story. I just hope it wouldn't be a disappointment. I was hoping Voldemort would kill off Harry, but based on the hints going around, it's unlikely. And speaking of leakages, I got hold of a copy yesterday, a day short of it's release. (Ever heard about the compiled photographed pages of the book circulating on the net?) Now, I can tell you, the leakage is authentic based on the first and last few pages (cover, dedication, table of contents, the first page and the last page of the body). I haven't browsed the rest of the book but I'm sure it's the same thing. Lucky for those who've read the leakage ahead of everyone else.
Well then, I better start to end it all. Somehow, it doesn't feel like goodbye with this book, unlike with the last LOTR book, The Return of the King. I postponed reading that one until after the movie version though I already have a copy of the book and despite the fact that a lot of people have read the ending 50 years ago. I just couldn't say goodbye, I guess... I'm not comparing. There's really no comparison to JRR Tolkien. The only similar thing between him and JK Rowling is the first letter of their name. Other than that, there's no point scrutinizing.
I just hope all will be well, just like the last sentence of Book 7 says. Oops! I forgot to warn you... spoiler!
