Oooh, awesome, about time they got it! :)
Cool! they had to wait a while didnt they?!
That's cool! :)
OSM!!! Top 5?
Oh in a way they're so lucky yet so unlucky! I know I cried like a human hosepipe! *woot for being near the top.*
I'd be upset if I was French and their copy of DH just came out!!!!
They probably know most of it by now anyway ... but aah ... no less the reason to celebrate! WOOT WOOT for them.
well hey that's neat! It'd be hard for them not to be spoiled by now, however. Ah well, still exciting.
aww nice one. i feel sorry foe them having to wait. any pictures of them MN?
Oh goody...changed my life...soon we'll be hearing about DH being released in Papua New Guinea...
You know, probably most of them have read it in english already. Its not like in america and england, where most of us are too ignorant to learn another language.
OMG 12TH!! the highest i've ever been!!
In Germany we've got to learn english at school....we've got no choice! Later we've got to learn a second language...so you see.....most of us are able to read the book before it's released in german....I already read it twice ;)
OMG great book!!!Everybody who has read it knows it is the best book from the 7 :)))
I'd hate not being able to speak english and having to wait so much longer.... Good for them it's finally out a francais anyway!
OMG, I can't believe that other countries have had to wait this long to get it, that would be horrible.
MOST OF THEM HAVE PROBABLY READ IT IN ENGLISH ANYWAY. IM NOT SAYING THEY WONT WANT IT IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE ASWELL, BUT ENOUGH OF THIS 'POOR THEM' STUFF ALREADY. IN MANY PLACES, THEY BEGIN TO LEARN ENGLISH WHEN THEY START SCHOOL, ITS LIKE A SECOND LANGUADE. NOT EVERYWHERE IS LIKE AMERICA AND ENGLAND, WHERE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE EXPECT EVERYONE ELSE TO KNOW THE LANGUAGE THEY SPEAK.
Lol, and to think here in Bulgaira it still isn't out! Good thing I got it in English! ;P
I am from Bulgaria too and I just couldn't wait until the release date (which is December 13) so I read it in English !!! :))
Im sorry about the caps lock. I realsied before i posted I was over-reacting, but i couldn't be bothered going back and changing to lower case.
Think you're right, sugar ;)
yay europe finally can read dh!!!
yay europe finally can read dh!!!
SugarxSpunxQuill - of course people in germany and france read some in english but there are a lot of people who can't and it must be nice even if they do speak english to have it in their own language, people were just expressing there opinions
Everytime I scroll down and downer, reading the comments, this bright and big box comes up and I just can't resist writing something !!!!
finally! my collection is complete! (the 7 realy look good on my bookshelf!) got "Harry Potter und die Heiligtümer des Todes" (uh what a title!?) at 12:05 at my local bookstore! it was so emotional; so sad that it's over but also great to have all 7 together now ... the only thing is that the people who didn't read DH in english in Juli ( not me!) have all been spoiled... anyway,viva Harry Potter!
How do you wait so long? Was the book spoiled for them or something? They must be so happy!
R U serious!! I feel so bad for them!!!! But I agree with Bobbsi, they already did learn english...but still...I think it would be a lot better to read it in your own language!!! I feel really bad for them!!!
yay!!! Good 4 u!!!! Most of us have probably already read it like 5 times, but cool 4 u!!!! lol
Mmm...finally! I can't wait until my buddy's flight gets in later, since he was probably in line waiting for it. Might explain why he didn't answer his phone. XD
about time ! i'm french but i gave up reading them in french since goblet of fire, and now i can discuss the book with people who were waiting for the translation, tough it takes so much time for the french versions to be released that by the time they're out, i have other things in mind than talking of harry potter books :]
Hihi, I´m German, too...and all I got to say: I already read it in English!!! ...Already on page 100 in the German version :-)
Congratulations!
Wow, it's hard to believe that people haven't read it yet! Well, lucky them. I'd love to re-experience the midnight release. Best day of my life. *sigh*
lol i know my friend's been waiting for ever for the french version... not speaking much english herself....
OoTP has already been released in Chile! http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=TnWoScqciFs
Hoorah fuer den gluekliche Deutsche! (und Franzoesiche!)
Great, the translations are coming along... Croatian DH translation was also released, yesterday at 10:26 PM. :) Has the same cover as american and title could be translated as "The Gifts of Death".
i don't think i could have waited this long. that kinda sucks that they had to wait this long because they alllll probably got spoiled. poor kids. dang..i had to go to school and they get a release party???!!?!?!? how fair is that? man i'm jealous, i wish i could go back to all the DH release parties in july...great, now i'm back in post potter depression...
i have already read it in english, but i was definitely excited to be able to read it in french! of course, it is sad that we have to wait so long after the english release...
Wow, i didnt realize they had to wait so long. They probably did get spoiled.
yay!! my hometown!! (germany)---- sirius_lee
finally lol =0
geez they had to wait so long doesnt that suck? i finished the book a long time ago. like ummmm..... 3 and a half months ago? yea thats how long ago.
am i the only 1 have trouble w/ the new poll? it wouldnt take my vote!...anyways, hope they enjoy DH as much as i did!
I feel so bad for them... i would die if i had to wait that long for DH. I started getting delirious at the week it was supposed to come out. www.mkgonagall.wo rdpress.com
Guys....most of the huge fans have already read DH. Most of the people learn English at a young age. But it must be more fun to read it in their own language.
Congratulations to those of you in france and germany who have just gotten your hands on the world's best book. You guys are giong to love it so much, I hope that you all enjoy. I am sorry you had to wait so long though. Happy Reading
I still feel really bad for them!! it must have been spoiled BIG time for them!!!
