I hung out with sweetvalleyslut, theschimmel, and asleepinabox (a bit) on Friday night; frantically rereading Half-Blood Prince, twiddling our thumbs in a nearly-dead restaurant, and singing Harry and the Potters rather loudly about town. Bought my book at midnight, didn't sleep, and finished at about 11:30 a.m. (the same time as two years ago, actually, though I didn't start reading 'til a bit after 2 am this time, since I really wanted to at least skim the rest of HBP first).

I'm still reeling, a bit, and I want to reread it immediately (but I have to wait for my mother to read it, first). So here are some very choppy, abbreviated first thoughts on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and also that fandom meme that I didn't get to beforehand.
