I ran over a toad with my car!!
Poor little hoppy toad, won't hop no more.

It probably deserved it.
Though what it had to do to earn being within 100 feet of you, let alone beneath your tire, is beyond me.

Taking that completely out of context turns it into quite the lovely compliment.

She is! Horrid woman. I'm really looking forward to the movie, I hope they get her character right in it!

I'm listening to all the audiobooks to prep for book 7 (first on the holds list at the library!). Jim Dale is pretty damn awesome, and it's nice to fill in all the holes that I had forgotten.
I know it doesn't happen, but I'm really hoping Harry puts his wand through the bitch's eye at some point.

Psh, 'on hold'. I just got it on pdf, far easier.

The scenes of the twins screwing around with her in the previews I've seen are great! I really can't wait to see the moive! And I've had my book 7 pre-ordered and paid for since the day after the release date was announced!
Sylphas2007-06-22 22:25:17
Psh, paying for things. Knowing the exact date we'd begin taking holds, and checking every five minutes until it went up > bookstore.

But the store I bought it from is releasing it at midnight. So I'll have it read before dawn of the day your library will get it, assuming your library will get it the day it's released. I dunno how your library works.
Sylphas2007-06-22 22:40:07
We get it about three days before, actually, you just have to sign unholy contracts swearing that you won't let anyone at them until release day, or your eternal soul will be devoured in an acidic pit for the rest of time.
Really, I don't care about the extra couple hours. I'm calling off work that day, so it's all good.

You'll have it for three whole days before release and you don't get to read it during that time? I would spontaneously combust from the sheer effort of not breaking that rule!
I don't know whether to be jealous or to feel bad for you!

My favourite line in HP5: "It unscrews the other way."
If they cut that out, I'm rallying a lynch mob.

With Half-Blood Prince, it meant I got to read the covers at least, before it was released. It helped a little.
Anyway, I don't work there anymore, so I get mine release day, no temptation this time.

I just found out none of the theaters here in town are releasing the movie at midnight... So I've got to wait till 12:30pm the 11th to see it.

I got free tickets to see the upcoming Harry Potter movie at my new workplace since no one showed up for their Harry Potter event!

I don't know about books, but when the CompUSA I used to work for got video games before they were released, the managers said the store got a $1 mil fine if a single copy was sold early. Now thats motivation
Sylphas2007-06-23 03:52:38
Psh, fines are nothing. Try never getting product from that publisher ever again. A library not being able to get books from Scholastic would suck for their children's section, let alone a store that depends on sales to run.

I noticed a distinct lack of Peeves in the movies, so I doubt that line will be in there. A pity, because Peeves and Gred and Forge are my favorite characters
