Oh my God I just read the first sentences of DH.

[heidi]

Via titti - the Observer has an article about Christopher Little (JKR's agent) and in it, they transcribe the words at the start of Chapter 1. It's about 2/3 of the way through the article.

I know I said I didn't want spoilers - and I wouldn't read a paraphrase of those lines if someone paid me a million dollars, and I wouldn't want to see anything other than the absolute start of the book (ie the first sentences, or the first chapter, followed by the second, etc. etc.).

But back when GoF came out, Newsweek featured it on the cover, and had the entire first chapter of the novel printed in its pages - I read it days before the book itself came out, and that didn't spoil me, because it was directly from JKR.

I recognize that others consider that sort of thing spoilery, though, so I won't post any of that actual content here - and no, I don't want to see the chapter titles - I plan to ignore the ToC in the book! - but yeah.

So I've read it.

Want more.

And a poll

[Poll #1021784]

This poll contained lyrics from Once More With Feeling (the Buffy musical) and Finding Nemo: The Musical (as performed at Animal Kingdom in Orlando).

Feeling cynical...

I guess I want to the reading experience to be completely fresh and not know a word going into it. So of course, someone will post the text without lj-cutting it, saying it's no big deal because it's out there anyway...and I'll see it in a completely unrelated forum. :P

I can't believe the book is out this week.

Oh gah - I hope nobody does! If they do, they're evil.
