My son picked it up in Tesco on our way back from the lotties yesterday so I've read it now. Cancelled my order with Amazon which has not arrived although still giving the 21st July as expected date of delivery.

I enjoyed the book. No more meantime.

Audio came this morning. I've not opened it.  I am currently going through the other audios and am only up to PoA.  Might catch up with you lot sometime next month  :D ..unless I say stuff it and dive into the new one.  OOooohh I can't wait!

EJ I wasn't into HP when it first came out. I became intrigued when I noticed a mum sitting engrossed in a HP book in the cafe in IKEA whilst her children were messing about and were quite lively.  Their antics seemed to be going over her head and I thought "I could do with some of that!"  ;D  ;D

We got the cat yesterday...for OH's m-i-l.  He is a beauty. We gave her the option of calling him Cruikshanks or Ron lol!  He is now officially called Ron!

Aaaaw that is so sweet,hurray for the postie!  Wonder if he is a Potter fan too?!

Still haven't opened mine. Have one more disc of PoAz to listen to but OH has nicked it !  I want to listen to HBP and then I will start on the new one. Going to skip books 4 and 5 as they are still pretty clear in my mind.

Tell you something...listening to the discs helps me to wiz through the ironing lol! (I hate ironing)

Who are your fav. charactors?  Without giving the game away as to who gets bumped off in the last one! 

Professor Lupin I like lots.  The twins and Ron are so funny so they have been a big hit.  I loved Mad-Eye Mooney in OotP and was really annoyed that it wasn't really him but one of Lord V's cronies. "Constant vigilance!  You have got to hear Stephan Fry doing his charactor- it is brilliant! 

Apparently the lad who plays Draco,Tom Felton, has bought a Ferrari and the lad who plays Ron,Rupert Grint, has bought...and ice-cream van lol!!   8)  8)  ;D

Ron the cat has settled in well  :)

Hmmm - Fav characters? I do love Luna - her radish earrings crack me up, those and the crumple horned snorcak. Maya loves Ginny Weasley and I love the twins. I also like the sound of Bill Weasley - I wonder who they'll get to play him. Think I'd be a sucker for a dragon handler if I lived in the wizarding world!!
I love the dialogue between Harry and Kreacher in the last few books too. Aaagh - too many characters to choose from.  ;D

Ha ha haaa! That is great! You gotta love these people - they must have a lot of spare time but thank god they do it. The internet world would be pretty dry place without them. Praise be.  ;D
