Harry Potter

Disclaimer: No spoilers here. If you are hoping to read about the movie or even a review about the movie, dream on. I realized not everyone would be seeing it all at the same time, so I just want to be fair. Besides, I do not want anybody to spoil the movie for me if I haven't seen it myself yet.

Back in February, I pre-ordered Harry Potter 7 when Amazon.com announced that it was available for pre-order. A few days ago, I received a notification that I can receive my book on release Saturday if I upgrade my shipping preferences. You see, I opted for free shipping, which, according to Amazon.com estimates, would deliver my book by the 26th. But previous experience with Amazon.com has always been pleasant, with them delivering way ahead of their estimates, so I am taking my chances. Besides, Harry Potter 6 was delivered on release day on free shipping, so I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed. I am considering of going to a midnight release party, just for the heck of it, though....It would be the last Harry Potter book, so I believe it would be a pretty big one.

And tonight, we will be going in line to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I am so excited. I know, this past few weeks, I have probably accumulated almost a day going in line for several other stuff, but this is so exciting. We are getting our stuff ready for the 3 hours we will be spending there. Laptop, charged: check! Cellular PC card: check! Portable DVD player: check! DS and GBA: check! Tickets: check!

Update (9:54pm): Been here an hour already, there were at least 4 queues, and the lines are very long. Apparently, the first in line started camping out at 5pm this afternoon. We got here at 9, and we're probably in the 50's already. Still some 2 hours to go.
