Hallows Eve

Tonight the final chapter in the Harry Potter saga is released, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm very excited to read this book and at one point entertained the idea of actually driving out to the bookstore at midnight and picking it up. Until I thought, am I actually going to read this book when I get home? Of course not, I'm going to hit the sack and get ready for work tomorrow. I suppose I will just have to be studious about avoiding spoilers and pick it up during regular shopping hours.

Having said all this, there has been a great amount of theorycrafting going on since the end of the last book, The Half-Blood Prince, and I've been guilty of reading and listening to some of it. In all honestly, I'm one of those people that absolutely hates to have a surprise ruined. I'm happy to be the last one to open presents on Christmas and I never read movie reviews before I see a film. This book is no different and I won't even post my own theories about the end until I've read the book for myself. I guess I'm just stubborn like that.

So, feel free to leave comments but be forewarned that I won't read them until the Deathly Hallows is returned to my bookshelf!
