Which, of course, I am fucking breathlessly awaiting. 

When the title was announced on jkrowling.com at christmas-time, one had to  figure out  a little puzzle and then play hangman to get it. But now they have announced the release date and frankly I don't get it. July 21, 2007 is the release date, which is  8 days after the 5th movie (Order of the Phoenix) comes out. It is also 10 days shy of Harry's birthday, which would have been the obvious day if anyone had asked me. ( And people have!! ok, I did at least discuss this with bessy). Or better yet, why not July 7? The cool/wizardy/magic  factor of 07/07/07 can not be denied. My thoughts are that the publishing company didn't want any of the whackjobs who protest HP as promoting witchcraft to get all up in arms over the date.

Still my point is; y'all know what I am doing the weekend of the 21st. So don't call me. and if Harry, Ron or Hermione dies, don't even talk to me for a few weeks afterward. Not that you would want to talk to a drunken, crying, lunatic wearing  a gryffindor scarf, a wand and nothing else. Just sayin'.
