Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Today I got an email from Amazon about this book. It is already available for pre-order and will be released on July 21,2007. As geeky as it sounds, I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of this book.

I was never the type to go gaga over the Harry Potter series. First of all, bookstores here in the Philippines would jack up the prices like crazy. It would cost us around $25-30 for one book! Second, I never liked "magic". Lastly, I only borrowed and read the first book for a class in philosophy. But when the sixth book came out, I decided to give it a try. We bought mint condition, 2nd hand hardbound copies of the first 5 books (I sort of have obsession with books and do not enjoy sharing them--I would lend you my book but I would never borrow from you kind of thing) and I ended up reading books 2-6 in a week. I cried my eyes out in books 5 and 6 and I was hooked. After which I realized that I should've waited for the 7th book to come out before reading the whole thing. But then again I am ecstatic that the release date is final! 5+ months is not a very long wait :)
