Whee! Last night, I was quite possibly the first in the store to acquire a copy of HP5. I was the first at my register (pure, pure luck) out of about 5 or so stations. Spent three hours babysitting kidlets, amusing myself as I figured out how every one of the magician's magic tricks were performed (I had about a 90% success rate), scrutinizing the second edition of David Colbert's "Magical Worlds of Harry Potter" for a correction in the bibliography regarding WIAN (corrected! W00t! I showed this to my friends, who were impressed), and generally flailing about and being silly. Hurrah!

Because I am a Good Girl, I only allowed myself to read the first hundred pages last night, as the photography workshop is still going on and I have full days ahead of me. If anyone posts spoilers, I will officially lay the smackdown. And I hereby promise not to post anything remotely spoilworthy until the fandom generally decides it has been an appropriate time.

So yay.
