Finally!

I can’t believe it! I am so happy! We expected it this year, like years before, but always with this grain of salt. When would it really come?

It’s coming folks, the 21st of June, 2003. And guess what? It’s a Saturday! That means that we are going to be there for all the hoopla with no worries about where we have to be the next day! They say the book is about a third longer than GoF! That’s about 1,000 pages total! (I know, I know, “!” overkill, but I really am yelling this all in my head).

They even shared the begining of the book:

The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive…..The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four.

“Later in the novel, J.K.Rowling writes:”

Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses.’It is time,’ he said ‘for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything.’

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is over 255,000 words compared to over l9l,000 words in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The new book is 38 chapters long, one more than Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

I am so excited!
