Someone who has already read it rated it a C on the NYC Fox news last night. And she is a huge fan so whatever...

i have met J.K Rowling! She was so sweet to me, and she liked my friend's nail varnish. lol, i also have a proof copy of the first one because i had to review it for a magazine.

The books are good, not sure i can really get into a book at the moment though.

I hate Harry Potter. He's such a fag. Why can't kids read REAL books, like A Tale of Two Cities, or Rescue. Something that'll scare the little fuckers to the point where they piss in bed.

that's so awesome! HP is featured in Time magazine this week....there's an awesome story in it about how she contacted this little girl from NY who had cancer and went in to treatment dressed up as Harry because it made her feel brave and such, it's so good!

²Rosie:

Do you get an autograph?
Autographs from her are very expensive under collectors.If you would sell it you would get a lot of money.

i think Waldenbooks is having 30% off the publishers price + 10% off if you have a preferred readers card (yay for me) so you'll save almost half the price if you go there.

Amazon has the price listed as $29.99 w/ a 40% discount as well, reducing it to $17.99

It has to be more then 20 dollars if hardcover. If you get lucky they will have the paperback there for you which in more cases will only run you up like 15 dollars or less. I know I had to buy a tree grows in brooklyn which is a very good book by the way and it costed me about  13 dollars. And I was going to read dr.zhivago...or something and it was about 16 dollars. And these both are pretty old book and both paper back...

and to answer the question...I will not be buying harry potter. I don't have an imagination...I read the first book and it was so boring. Then I watched the movie and I thought it was horrible. I didn't really enjoy it but for the rest of you who are getting the book enjoy!
