everything but the girl

Dammit.

I wanted one more year of fandom waiting and speculating and discussing and theorizing.

Not the movie and the book in the same damned week.

In case you didn't hear, book 7 is coming out July 21. 2007.

Anyone planning a reading party?

Oh, and also?

I know of some *amazing* plans now underway for Sectus and for Prophecy! For that, I will squeeee.

I still can't wait to read the book, but I admit to being somewhat meh-ish about the title itself. It's not as wtf as the fake Storge one, and there's a lot of intrigue in it and things to ponder, but... the fascinating-ness of it isn't going to be the title for me, but the contents of the book.

What I do like about the title is, weirdly enough, what it sounds like if you say the sounds of the letters - "teh deh hah" is almost like "TAA DAAAAH!" but I would be shocked beyond belief if she did it on purpose. I think I am going to call it "Teh Daaaaah!" in my mind, though - it'll be my personal squee.

FA discussion thread is now up here and I kinda liked the sound of "Deathly Hall", which is how I first saw the title on my handheld, so I made a community at hp_deathly_hall - anyone want it for an RPG or something?

Has anyone started or begun to plan any writing or art challenges related to the title? Because I'd love to mention them on SpellCast's news section for this weekend's episode, so please leave url- or contact-info here in a comment if you are or know of one.

ETA (now, with silliness!: Okay, I am losing it....
I've been repeating "TDH" to myself off and on this morning, and thinking I liked the sound of it. And hermione_like pointed out why that probably is...

TDH?

Well, without the "the", it's DH.

MY SHIPS! MY SHIPS! MY LOVELY SHIPS! They may not be canon, but they're in the acronym!



Oh, come on, Guns & Handcuffs and Leather Librarian types. You know we love it. ETA AGAIN: And Humble Narrator mentioned it in the Guns & Handcuffs thread on FA, too! Come by and giggle!
