1. Okay, love him or loathe him, you’d have to live under a rock not to know that J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, comes out on Saturday… Are you going to read it?
2. If so, right away? Or just, you know, eventually, when you get around to it? Are you attending any of the midnight parties?
3. If you’re not going to read it, why not?
4. And, for the record… what do you think? Will Harry survive the series? What are you most looking forward to?

I’ll read it, but I’m not going out of my way to get it immediately. In fact, the last few have been given to me within a few days of the release, so I’m happy to wait a bit… and you could not pay me enough to go to one of those midnight parties. Well, that’s not true. On the scale of things that I’d require money to do, this is pretty cheap. So there’s still time, if anyone does want to make an offer

As for the last question, I’ve never really speculated about what will happen. I enjoy the books, but not enough to spend much time pondering them. He’ll die or he won’t, whatever. As long as the ending makes sense and doesn’t wind up being cheesy, I’ll be good.
