:) :) Yeah HBP! The shock of my life :( :(

I don’t remeber if i felt shocked with HBP, Leb-Muggle, all i did was understand what was goin on, really, i was only 11 when i read it, so i ddnt really feel the shock, i just accepted what was going on as canon, i didnt whoop with the H/G kiss, didnt feel betrayed by snape, didnt cry when dumbledore died. DH, however, o boy, 2 years of letting the fandom and theories ferment in my head, i’ll be feelin’ them emotions like i was the characters themselves.

oh u were so young. I’m sure we will all be surprised after reading DH. I just hope that it won’t be so sad ( i know it will!!!) 5 days!

South Africa people: dont forget about Wordsworth! and there is nothing wrong with getting the book at 1:01am! its the exact same moment as britain.

hello guys! I’m from Brazil. As far as I know, Livraria Cultura, one of the biggest bookstores in Brazil is selling HP and The deathly Hallows since 20/07 at 20h. They are already having lots and lots of activities for Potter fans and they have many fun prepared. I know that there are some activities prepared for Brasília, São Paulo, Recife and Porto Alegre. for more info, check here:

There will be 2 parties, at least, in Curitiba / Brazil. Although the city is not on your list I’ll drop you a line.

Hello! I know of all of the events in Rio and I am organizing one of them (it is listed at Potter Parties and at Bloomsbury website). Let me know if you need anything! I’ve sent you an email, Melissa.
