Wow...... 10 years.

I wanna go!! why do all these events happen so far away from bc? its crazy to think that it has been ten full years of harry potter its amazing. just imagine where you will be in ten years! it seems so far away and yet its here
i am so going to that
screw WB
*sarcastically* yay we get to sit in a throne. *unsarcastically* but it does sound like fun. and i really want a book!!!!!!!!!!
i keep my harry potter frist editions i'm so not going to give them any more money
That sounds awesome.... wish I could go...
Actually, acciohagridxo, it IS September 23rd, not August 23rd. That was actually announced (September 23rd release date) ages ago, so I'm surprised people get it wrong. Its even written in the newsstory, and on the link that gives you more information. You really shouldn't go around telling people wrong information.
huzzah, huzzah
Thats freakin' cool! Top 20!
OMG WHERE IS IT AGAIN?1 I WANNA GO TO IT SOOOOOOOOOOO BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! ILL DRESS AS LUNA! :D
Is there anything special happening in GB to celebrate?
awsomee !! i totally want to go where is it?? cuz i have no idea where the scolatic head quators is
Sept 23? OMG that's my 18th birthday! darn! Why does New York have to be so far away? T-T
Sweet. Too bad it's on the other side of the country, otherwise I'd so go.
That sounds really fun. Too bad I'm like on the other side of the world :l
Please believe me as I say that if I did not have to work in New Jersey on Tuesday, September 23, 2008, I would be at the Scholastic headquarters. I hope that Danielle Radcliffe is able to drop by before his evening performance of Equus that night. Maybe some other stars from the movie might pop up, or even closer to town, an Olympic fencing champion from New York!! Anything can happen in that town if you believe in magic.
THAT SOUNDS SO AMAZINGLY COOL!!!
Kool!!!!!!!!
Now this is event I have a chance on attending. I just hope that my uncle is willing to let me stay with him. That way my long trip, doesn't end up costing me much. I still love hp(even tho I am now also in love with the twilight series), but I don't trust wb!!! Of course after the big announcement of movie six being pushed back, I don't wb and I will never trust wb!!!
That's rockish!!!! : ) : ) : ) : )
So where's it going to be held?
omg lol, that sounds like fun!
im going!!!!!!! can u believe it?! i cant!! im SOO excited!!!
Ganger345, its in SoHo in New York City, on Broadway. I hope i can go! too bad its on a tuesday. maybe i can make it after school...
it's a school day!!! i can't even watch most of it on the internet... will it still be going at like 4:00?
um guys... this is scholastic.. not wb... so yeah don't just boycott it. And, Ilovealanrickman, get over urself, ur not that important.
WoW! A chance to sit in a chair once used by JK Rowling! Kind of reminds me of an old joke ad: Meet the guy who met Don Knotts!
cool lol
Any Mugglecasters going?
once again, everything happens in new york! i'm swoo sick of living in massachusetts!
i wish i lived im MA. that is a fantastic state. closer to ny than i am.
omg, that would be so awesome, except that i live too far!!!
that would be cool! hey, does anyone know when the Anniversary Edition of the Sorcerer's Stone is coming out? & is it any different from the orginal version of Sorcerer's Stone, if so, HOW DIFFERENT???????
I am so jealous of whoever gets to do that! Although I am thankful that I am allowed to even read HP since I am a Christian. Oh and why are people such freakin POTTY MOUTHS?!?! Holy smokes! i mean its crap to be so nasty!!!! A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G! I love HP and LotR and Narnia(woo!).
I think I might ask for this for Christmas, cause if I went out and bought it the day it was released my parents would think its stupid cause I wasted my money on something I already have.
