Wool & Words

Can't resist the Booking Through Thursday HP theme for this week! Besides...I feel a bit more at my leisure to meme since my good friend, Tricia (blogless, I'm afraid), did me the tremendous favor of helping me collate my committee members' edits into one, easy to work with document.

So...the Q & A:

1. Okay, love him or loathe him, you’d have to live under a rock not to know that J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, comes out on Saturday… Are you going to read it?
   
   Of course I'm going to read it! I reread Order of the Phoenix last week and I'm working on Half-Blood Prince right now to get ready. I anticipate a sleepless night next Tuesday.
   
2. If so, right away? Or just, you know, eventually, when you get around to it? Are you attending any of the midnight parties?
   
   I have to prepare for a job interview on Monday, so I don't know that I'll let myself start it until that's over. But once that's done, it's on, baby!
   
   Not yet certain about when I'll get my book. We're having a game night at the yarn shop this Friday (local folks--come check it out!), so if I'm feeling adventurous afterward, I can certainly see heading to the bookstore to enjoy the final frenzy. Come to think of it, I really should go this once to experience the cultural moment, eh?
   
3. If you’re not going to read it, why not?
   
   I can't imagine not reading it, but I read a WaPo editorial yesterday that explained why some might pass.
   
4. And, for the record… what do you think? Will Harry survive the series? What are you most looking forward to?
   
   I think that Harry will survive, although I fear that he'll do so as Frodo does in LOTR, which would not satisfy. I'm really looking forward to finding out the truth about Snape and seeing Voldemort get what he deserves, which is nothing less than total annihilation. Yep. That would satisfy.
