One day more!

[neverwhere]

I am so excited. So exceedingly, over the top, outrageously thrilled and squealing with anticipitory glee about Harry Potter. Tomorrow night I shall hold in my hand The Book, and Life Will Be Good. *blissful sigh*

I've been a diehard Potterphile since about September '98, when I first read Philosopher's Stone, I just can't get enough of Harry's magickal world. And I don't think I ever want to stop loving these books. Ever. :)


Just for the record -- Jim Dale must DIE. All hail Stephen Fry!


In other news...the job search goes on, my flat is finally clean (and the gasman arrives tomorrow morning to turn on my service, so I can actually use my stove, hurrah!), and Floop the Car has decided to not only shake violently if I drive above 60 MPH, but develop a high pitched squeal as well. Yayyy. *laughs*


brandybuck has just given me the most delightfully salacious image of Alan Cumming (as the Emcee) reading Order of the Phoenix to us naked. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. YES PLEASE. :))

i JUST became a fan. i was bored, so my mom made me read books and harry potter was just as good as any [hilarious that my mom was a fan first, of course, since i'm always ahead of the game]... so i read the 1st, 3rd, and 4th.

and i'm excited about the 5th. i have to find which character gets killed off. that sounds terribly morbid. but oh well. it's just killing me... i have to know!

Can't wait.

Also, I love Stephen Fry.

"Dinasty or dienasty?" XDD

Alan... saying "salacious"... over... and over.... again...

Sal-laaaay-shuss.

*THWUNK!*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I know all the best words. *smirk*

*giggles and joins you on the floor*

*ker-THUD*

[mrs-puppethead.livejournal.com]

Floop sounds like a real diva. :)

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Hehehe oh he is. He's such a bratty cow! *giggles*

Maybe I just need to pamper him with an oil change and hot wax. ;-)

I pre-ordered my HP book on amazon, it should be here tomarrow (cuz they deliver early usually) or itmight come on sat.. it would rock if it came a day early! hehehe.*pees*

[fringelement.livejournal.com]

Alan saying...."Lucious". mmmmm.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Alan saying ANYthing...*licks lips hungrily*

*giggles*

[wreibyn.livejournal.com]

don't.
post.
spoilers.
:P

i'm not getting the book right away. :( i don't want to have to lug it with me because i'm going to want it with me in England so i'm just going to buy it there.

i'll break down and borrow Kirsten's of course, but i don't know how long it will take her to read it. at the rate she reads it'll just be faster to wait until i get there anyway. :S *sigh*

You are mad.

Raving

How will you manage, with everyone talking about it all the time? You realise this means we won't be able to have a conversation because I'll be too excited and want to spill everything!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Of course all squeeage will be behind an LJ-cut.

But you are absolutely CERTIFIABLE, waiting until you go to England. GAH! You scare me. How can you possibly wait so long!?

Freak.

:-P

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God.

Can he bamf into the audience now and then, to sit on someone's lap?

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Esther said we were naked too and sprawled over him....but I didn't want to mention that. ;-)

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

Jim Dail must die!! *hails Stephen fry happily*

(Also, Alan reading the books to us naked would be most good. Heheh, oh yes.)

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Alan sitting on Stephen's lap while they take turns reading is the most delightful thought of all.

*eyes glaze over lustfully* ;-)

My only real exposure to Harry Potter is listening to my sister's tapes of Steven Fry reading them (I know. Shocking, isn't it?) so I can't really imagine them read by anyone else. I suspect that if I did try and read the books, I'd have the Voice of Fry stuck iin my head. Which is probably a good thing.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

When I read them, I hear Stephen's voice. But I don't mind at all, because his charactarizations are so perfect, I can't imagine them being any other way. It is a very good thing, believe me. :)

[jacinthsong.livejournal.com]

Stephen Fry does indeed read them far better than Dale *hails*

I can't wait. I've been in love with the books since the very beginning and the atmosphere of excitement everywhere is wonderful to see. JKR's brought so much pleasure to people.

Oh, and...I'm torn between Hagrid and a Weasley. I'm tragically certain that Lupin (*sob!*) is going to be killed by Pettigrew in a future book, but not this one. I hope. Oh dear, do you think any bookshops will be giving away free packets of tissues?

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I'm torn between Hagrid and Dumbledore, because JK has said countless times how much she adores both characters (especially Hagrid), and that writing this death was absolutely miserable for her. I'm definitely leaning towards Hagrid, as both Ashfae and I think he has 'doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed' written all over his forehead. I'll find out by tomorrrrrrow!!!!!! *squeals excitedly*

[tomatorama.livejournal.com]

Stephen Fry all the way YES! Do you know when the next tapes will be out?

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

He just finished recording them in the studio last month, and I believe they'll be out in August/September.

Such a long wait! *whinge*

But of course it'll be worth it.

[eyre-lasgalen.livejournal.com]

Heyhey!

Did you read my reply to your post in my journal? (Um, that was strange sounding when said outloud)?

If you want a propper copy of OotP (ie, the one with British slang and cover art) I'll send you a Canadian copy in the post. You really should have it with all the slang and such.

I'm re-reading GoF in anticipation, and I realised why I don't just constantly read the HP seies.....I cry from beginning to end. The only time I'm not wailing is when I'm laughing at something a Weasley has said.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I just listened to all four audiobooks in my car the past two weeks. I'm all refreshed and READY TO GO!

I'm getting copies from Amazon.co.uk (as IF I could do without a true British version! ;-) but I certainly wouldn't mind a Canadian one as well! *grins*

[acinonyxjubatus.livejournal.com]

And the world stands still as the book comes in....

I am halfway through the book - and tomorrow I plan to go down to the beach (yes, a real, genuine, pukka, fair dinkum tropical beach) and with champagne in hand, just read.

To hell with the world. OotP is more important.
