I just finished rereading Harry Potter 6 and now I need - NEED, people - number 7. I really enjoyed 6 the first time I read it, but it was even better the second time around. I'm going to have to reread 4, because right now, from where I stand, 6 seems like it's the best. There was so much that I missed the first time around because it was necessarily contextless. But knowing how it ends, having the context, well that changes everything! Or at least it feels like it does. So I'm all excited for number 7 now, even though I'm sure I'll cry right through the whole thing.
Is it the 21st yet? No? Damnit!

I so know what you mean. I decided to reread the whole series in anticipation of the new book, but it turns out I started too soon. Now I have finished them all (2 weeks ago even) and the last 10 days feels so long... its almost like being 8 year old and waiting for Christmas all over again.
I know! It's so hard to remember what a fast read they are. I mean, what other 650 page book can you read in three days? I'd go back and read 1, 3 & 4 again (2 is too much of a recap of 1 and 5 is too much of Harry whining and being a huge jerk for 500 pages), only I'm not sure they'd last me the whole 10 days. And I'm certain that it wouldn't help with the pre-Christmas jitters.
I re-read them about 2 months ago. I wanted them to be fresh enough in my mind, but not so fresh that I would be constantly comparing #7 with 1-6. But, yes, I am eagerly awaiting the mailman/woman next saturday. Yeah pre-ordering! Continuing the Christmas parallel, Santa Claus will be wearing blue for me! I think the mail show up around 2pm on saturdays... That's going to be one long morning...
