It's official. JK Rowling has announced that the 7th and last book in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", will be on sale on July 21st, 2007. 161 days!!!! That'll be 2 years since the release of the last book in which Dumbledore was killed off. As a 30-something adult, I'm a little perturbed that this news is the highlight of my day!! I can't WAIT to read this book. Yes, I'm a die-hard Harry Potter fan, I admit it. I'm also a completely head-over-heels Snape fan!! I would very much like to see him turn out to be a good guy, not evil. Although apparently 2 people get killed off in this book - who? Harry himself? Voldemort? Snape? Those are obvious guesses.
I was reading the 6th book while at the Double E Ranch 2 years ago and was very shocked and upset when I got to the end. I've never been attached to a book series in my life, and it's a kids book!! So I'm as excited as the other billion people on the planet.
See "The Leaky Cauldron" for more info. Or JK Rowlings' own website here.
In addition, the 5th film, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will start showing just before the book comes out, on July 13th. Let's hope more scenes with Alan Rickman in them are in this movie compared to the 4th one! How they are going to put the massive 5th book into a movie is beyond me. But it's going to be a good month.
What have we learned today, oh wise blog. oh therapist of the internet world. We've learned that the worst feeling in the world is to have someone you respect, trust and actually like, be disappointed in you. To know that you have to work to regain that trust and respect, a result of a really stupid mistake.

Forgive yourself, man. We all grow, and in the end, it's all good...
