It's not just fandom that's insane...

...it's the entire damn world. There were security guards at Borders. Security guards. For a book launch.

I showed up an hour before the opening, and I was still like 100 people from the front of the queue. Which buy the time I got my copy, not only filled the store, but was halfway through Melbourne Central. I honestly think there were more people lined up than for the Stella McCartney opening.

And that was just one store.

And all this for a book.

The world has truly gone mad, in the best possible way.

In other news, I answered the phone when my Mum rang with, "Can't talk, reading."

Oh, and my 100 pages per hour guess at reading speed seems to be holding up. 600 odd pages, finished it about 6 hours.

So, now I've finished: Please feel free to link me to DH-canon fics, icons, and comms thereof. And discussions of the positive sort, since I quite liked it. (Though LOLing at the haters is amusing me).

There will be spoilers in the comments. And in a later post, when I get them all together.

And now, that's the end of Harry Potter. There's no more. End of an era. *is trying not to cry*

For all of us in Southern England, there were scenes of sad, wet Harry Potter fans trying to find bookstores that weren't underwater. Even in London, where there wasn't much flooding (it was mostly in the Southwest), all the people in the news coverage had been sitting out in the torrential rain all day.

Obviously I'm not as deidcated as they, as I was happy to get my book the next morning and watch the (very damp) craziness on the news.

The book itself? So worth the ten-year wait. Loved it, cheesy epilogue and all.
