I read that anyone that ordered from Deep Discount received them already. They sent them out early and she's likely going to sue... They're estimating that 1,200 people already have the book...

Re: NWR- LIW vs.Harry Potter

I'm soooooo very jealous. I have refused to start reading a new book for the last week. I was afraid I wouldn't be finished w/ it when I FINALLY get my hands on the latest.

Re: NWR- LIW vs.Harry Potter

I personally thought the movie was terrible. I just re-read the book and finished it maybe 2 days before I saw the movie. It was VERY choppy and they cut a lot of stuff out. FH didn't read it and said he felt like he was missing things. It's kinda like they made the movie assuming that you read the book and will know how to fill in the blanks...

Sorry :( I was very upset after the movie...>VERY!

It wasnt like the first movie where you pretty much could go from book to movie and not miss a thing.
I agree it was missing alot but I think it focused on Harry more in the movie this time around. Thats why I see the movie then read the book. I can get characters faces and go with it.

I know it's going to sound so sad - but i literally cried when it ended - i was so upset. I wanted it to be so good & was soooo looking forward to it. I reread both of the last 2 books and was sooooo excited. But - since my FH put the engagement ring on my finger, i've been a weepy mess...

Re: NWR- LIW vs.Harry Potter

If you can, try to see the movie in Imax. I agree, I missed a lot of subplots and details from the book, but in Imax, the big duel is in 3D, and pretty cool!

I don't want to read the last book--- I do, but I don't---I don't know what I'll do if Harry dies, I'll be besides myself! I'm glad I'm not the only Potter fanatic on here!
