I promise, you’ll cry too.
(For those of you non-Harry Potter fans, I’m sorry I seem so one-minded these last few days. Thanks for not hating me for that.)
If you are breathlessly waiting for Book 7 and are scared to go anywhere on the internet for fear of being spoiled – I must encourage you to go to one place. JK Rowling.com. Click on the eraser on her desk and go to her office. For once, the door just opens when you click on it. No clues or games. Just open the door. She has written a letter of acknowledgments that you must read. I cried throughout the entire thing. She mentions all of the people who helped her in this journey and even though I know none of them, I felt proud for them as she sincerely thanked them all. And then the part to her daughter? Just read it. And bring tissues.
You don’t lie, it was a tear jerker. Ack…it hasn’t been released yet and now I am thinking, “I can’t believe it is over!”
Why must things end?
wow. just wow. i am gonna go wipe my tears now.
Thanks for the warning about needing tissues. *sniffle*
Also, I nearly had a near heart attack this morning. My friend went to get my wristband ticket thingie and Borders said they didn’t have me in their computer thingie. My friend had to get all “LOOK, she just had a baby, has been cooped up in her house for 10 days and this is the highlight of her week. Don’t do this to her”. She got my ticket. I owe her some chocolate, methinks.
Oh my goodness. Now sitting at desk with tears. Hope client doesn’t think this is all about her case. Yikes.
Oh, yes! Oh, I sobbed. I am already a wreck — just not ready for this glorious ride to end.
What a gift she has given us ….
I cried like a baby.
What will we do without Harry Potter?
That having been said, I am beyond excited about tonight!!
Let the countdown begin, or continue…
now I am crying for other reasons!! I just went to Amazon to track my book and it isn’t even listed as a order…not in my history or anything!!! HOLY CRAP!!
I nearly cried, too, eek!
I’m so excited right now, I literally can barely see straight … I think my eyeballs are going to shake right out of my head!
Just 11 hours to go … yay!!!
Okay, how the heck are you guys getting this to work? I saw it on Leaky this morning and tried to get in at that time, too, but the door won’t open for me.
When I first went to it, the Do Not Disturb sign was on the door. I went back to the desk, then back to the eraser spot again – and the sign’s gone. I couldn’t get the door to open, though – no matter how many times I clicked or where. You’d think the third, fourth, or even fifth time would be the charm, but it’s not.
That whole sequence happened both this morning and just now, when I tried it again. What is it that y’all are doing different?
Okay, never mind. As soon as I posted, it occured on me that I should probably try viewing it in Internet Explorer.
I have to go find a tissue box now.
Thanks for sending me over there. What an awesome letter from J.K.
OMG, I’m so emotional. Combined with the fact that I lost my dad on Monday, I burst into tears when I think about this last book even coming out. It’s almost like I didn’t want it to ever come, so it would never end…but then I’d be sad without it! Looking forward to Potter posts from you!
