The end is nigh.
2.5 hours to Potterdämmerung. Sitting here making "wtf" faces at myself, since by all measurable standards I should be in a fever of excitement, but I'm just not. I'll probably have a burst of enthusiasm once I actually start reading the book, but I can't really bring myself to get psyched up for the release.
...which is odd, because two years ago I was in the queue outside Waterstones in London doing the midnight countdown. I mean, Harry Potter practically was my early adolescence. Seems a little odd that I'll go to bed tonight and sleep through the release of the Holy Grail of the HP Fandom, then wake up and walk into a bookstore and pay my 23 euros and leave with the book. No pre-ordering, no midnight party, no costumes, no fanfare.
Also, I've only read HBP twice, and I've forgotten half the plot--and what I do remember keeps getting mixed up in my head with OotP. I think that since the psyching up for the next book phenomenon mostly started with GoF, only the first three books are solidly fixed in my head as canon--the rest is there, but it keeps rattling around alarmingly. I remember the vast majority of the events of HBP, but god damn if I can tell you what the plot was.
I'm such a bad fan.
