Harry Potter Book 7 Day!

21 July 2007

Fret not. This is SPOILER FREE.

Oh yes. This post is going to manifest Harry Potter fandom to the nth level. I just can’t possibly let this magical day go to waste without blogging about this much-anticipated release. I have long been excited about the book – a million times more than the release of the 5th movie. (FYI: I enjoyed the movie incredibly, and thought it was still brilliant.) Besides, after having finished reading the final installment, I just have to have some sort of ‘vent-out.’ Especially since I don’t know anyone who has finished the book at this very hour.

“We now present the seventh and final installment in the epic tale of Harry Potter.” (Written inside the book jacket.)

I was happy to wake up pretty darn early to line up for the 7am release over at Powerbooks, Greenbelt. My sister and I arrived 20 minutes before 7, and were already greeted by 2 long lines. It was so hard for me to contain my excitement around my sister and the people there especially when Powerbooks, Greenbelt was transformed to some kind of Harry Potter haven overnight!

It didn’t take long till my sister and I got our copy. Heck, just before we paid for it, guys from Kids Q interviewed me! Powerbooks even gave out free magazines, donuts and coffee. Everyone’s capitalizing on this global phenomenon, and celebrating the HP fever! I don’t mind! I love it. I’m a massive fan! And no matter how annoying this hype can be to all those could-care-less people, I’d still happily rave about it!!! Weeeee!

I love Harry Potter!

That’s me and my sister. Mukhang sobrang bangag! haha. Early morning excitement! You could just imagine the inexplainable rush that took hold of me upon skimming through the first page. No. I did not...
