So... next HP book. Anyone else going to go to a midnight launch since it'll be the last EVER?
I went to one last year (with someone who was really boring) and it was crap because I went to a local one.  Maybe all you lot who live in Stafford (or England in general) - we could go to one together oooooor go to a London one? =P The Waterstones one is like MASSIVE. They have celebrity VIP digs. 
Endin' castle? JK goes there every time to do a reading and talk to fans. We could get on TVVVV! I wanna go as a Quidditch player... or cut my hair and dye it black again and go as Snape, which was my original plan when I was fourteen... xD

Ah yes, I am definately going to a midnight launch!! Gasp, and I also think I'm geeky enough to go somewhere un-local! Though am I un-lazy enough to go somewhere un-local? This is Harry Potter, so YES. And as Amy just pointed out, its the last chance of doing it, so I'm not going to miss out!
Talking of TV, me and Patrick (Munchy) hilariously made it onto TV last year (i think that was when it was). We joined the protest against expanding the M6, and was successfully on the news every morning the following week. It was just a shame for Patrick that it had him being scared at leaves falling on his head, though absolutely hilarious for me when I got to point this out.
Ahh.. good times.. haha.

hehehe good one. The closet i have come to TV is in the back ground on match of the day when Stafford Rangers get knocked out of the FA cup and also when i was 6 they did a documentary on my Primary School (Why???)
Anyway back to Harry....I believe I'm geeky enough to also go to one that is not local as well. Come on i traveled all the way to Milton Keynes so i could see the actors who played Cedric Digory and the Wesley twins.

I sat on the living room floor for two days, getting in everyones way with earplugs in to block out all the noise. I only stopped to eat and sleep.

Same, I even skipped showers. xD I kept waking up to read haha!
I want to go either London or the castle though. No where else is worth it.
Haha did you go the the Ottakar's one last year, Liz? That creepy rat guy with the black had drew a scar on his head. He looked like a thousand-year-old Harry. =P
