Somehow having it land on my doormat doesn't have quite the same frisson, not to mention the risk that it won't arrive on the Saturday morning and I'll lose two days of valuable reading time and in the meantime I might inadvertently come across a spoiler of the plot

Seeing KGD re-reading The Order of the Phoenix before the last Twyford freestyle night reminded me that it was time to prepare myself for the new one. In the past I have re-read all of the previous books, but this time (tactical error ) only re-read The Order of the Phoenix (d'oh!) and now I still have four weeks to wait

Am I the only one (well, apart from KGD)? Does anyone else fancy queuing up to buy the book at midnight? (I could do with some company )
I AM SO IN!
Foyles on Totty Court Road is doing a midnight opening, unless you know another that's as easy to get to. Will have to check train times though (or persuade Dizzy that she really really wants to drive to get Harry Potter- shouldn't be too hard...)
