To speed things up, I'll watch the movies for the first 4 and then maybe listen to the CDs for 5 and 6. It would take to long to read all 6 books.

I may have this backwards but I believe the book hits the shelves on July 20th and the 5th movie hits the theaters on July 13th.

I'm not sure why Warner Bros. decided to release it on a Wednesday instead of the more conventional Friday. Maybe they're hoping hardcore fans will see it early, spread positive word-of-mouth on Thursday and Friday, and convince general moviegoers to see it instead of the main competition (Transformers, Ratatouille, Live Free or Die Hard).

Releasing it on a Wednesday ruins its chance of surpassing Spider-Man 3's box office opening record though. Too many will see it before Friday-to-Sunday.

Well, I think she did perfect with the timing and story of the books. The series really fit 6 years worth of story amazingly well so far.... and none of it really felt like it was a tangent to the main story. She must've put a lot of effort and thought into this, because it really is fitting into seven books perfectly. However, the sad part is, there's only one way the story can truly end.....

I mean, think about it. Everyone that's been important to Harry has been very close to death, or has died. I honestly think the only survivor of the series in the end, if there are ANY, will most likely be Hagrid. Mainly because he became more of a bit character in the later books, and supposedly won't be involved very much at all in the last one. I personally see all the main characters (ie. Harry, Ron, Hermione, etc. ) as being dead meat after this last book. That's just my prediction.

Although, there was that prophecy in the Order of the Pheonix.....

I think I'm looking forward to the new book more than the new movie, although I can't wait for either. I did read this, which doesn't give much of a clue about the book ending, but sounds like you better get your tissues out.

Rowling sobbed while writing end to ‘Potter’
“When I finished one chapter near the end I absolutely howled,” she told the BBC television presenter.

“I was sobbing my heart out — I downed half a bottle of champagne from the mini bar in one and went home with mascara all over my face. That was really tough.”
