Waiting for Harry

[prillalar]

Four more sleeps! I think the hardest part of the wait will be on Friday when I plan to go offline and stay offline, including email, until I've got my book and read it through.

My plan is to get up on Saturday, pre-6 AM, then go into the store with my bookstore worker SO and get my copy. Then, it's coffee before noon, Guinness after noon, and reading, reading, reading until I'm done.

I'm not going to anything that necessitates a costume, but if I were, and I could easily get any HP costume, I would dress up as Neville's grandmother. Green dress, red handbag, fox-fur (faux) scarf, and tall hat with a stuffed vulture on top. That would be properly imposing and witchy.

What's your schedule? And your costume, real or imagined?

Grrr arrgh Friday night :).

It wasn't until *after* I'd canceled my Amazon preorder that I'd learned that American Express knows all about Flatbush and the need to sign for deliveries themselves on Saturdays in that neighborhood, and by that time, I'd reserved my copy at a brick and mortar Barnes and Noble.

It doesn't matter for me. I'll avoid spoilers until I can pick it up Sunday or Monday after work, and probably spend that night devouring it. I mean. I'm a grownup.

I'm mildly annoyed that there are a *lot* of kids where I live who adore Harry Potter but because they *had* to have all the parties on Friday night, are not able to go, and somehow, going to one on Saturday night if there were a bookstore that would do so would be anticlimatic. On the other hand, they're all used to that anyway.
