Cool! they had to wait a while didnt they?!


Posted by bongahead Oct 27th 2007

That's cool! :)

OSM!!! Top 5?


Posted by foreverstrange Oct 27th 2007

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.*


Posted by sk8terrew95 Oct 27th 2007

I'd be upset if I was French and their copy of DH just came out!!!!


Posted by fanaticallyobsessed Oct 27th 2007

They probably know most of it by now anyway ... but aah ... no less the reason to celebrate! WOOT WOOT for them.


Posted by swans_rule_the_afl Oct 27th 2007

well hey that's neat! It'd be hard for them not to be spoiled by now, however. Ah well, still exciting.


Posted by Madmoggie Oct 27th 2007

aww nice one. i feel sorry foe them having to wait. any pictures of them MN?


Posted by bigmuggle Oct 27th 2007

Oh goody...changed my life...soon we'll be hearing about DH being released in Papua New Guinea...


Posted by SugarxSpunxQuill Oct 27th 2007

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.


Posted by hp_nerd_4lyfe Oct 27th 2007

OMG 12TH!! the highest i've ever been!!


Posted by Bobbsi Oct 27th 2007

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 ;)


Posted by magdalenarosrus Oct 27th 2007

OMG great book!!!Everybody who has read it knows it is the best book from the 7 :)))


Posted by irishfanaticwhobelievessnapeisgood Oct 27th 2007

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!


Posted by eoin44 Oct 27th 2007

OMG, I can't believe that other countries have had to wait this long to get it, that would be horrible.


Posted by SugarxSpunxQuill Oct 27th 2007

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.


Posted by kaliu6 Oct 27th 2007

Lol, and to think here in Bulgaira it still isn't out! Good thing I got it in English! ;P


Posted by magdalenarosrus Oct 27th 2007

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 !!! :))


Posted by SugarxSpunxQuill Oct 27th 2007

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.


Posted by Bobbsi Oct 27th 2007

Think you're right, sugar ;)


Posted by lidietta Oct 27th 2007

yay europe finally can read dh!!!


Posted by lidietta Oct 27th 2007

yay europe finally can read dh!!!


Posted by Madmoggie Oct 27th 2007

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


Posted by fanaticallyobsessed Oct 27th 2007

Everytime I scroll down and downer, reading the comments, this bright and big box comes up and I just can't resist writing something !!!!


Posted by Tinchen Oct 27th 2007

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!


Posted by dancefool1 Oct 27th 2007

How do you wait so long? Was the book spoiled for them or something? They must be so happy!


Posted by Dobbysgirl13 Oct 27th 2007

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!!!


Posted by roxorgirl13 Oct 27th 2007

yay!!! Good 4 u!!!! Most of us have probably already read it like 5 times, but cool 4 u!!!! lol


Posted by de_lycanthrope Oct 27th 2007

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


Posted by blod Oct 27th 2007

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 :]


Posted by MaryEmmaGinny Oct 27th 2007

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 :-)


Posted by i_am_nagini_777 Oct 27th 2007

Congratulations!


Posted by Quiscalus Oct 27th 2007

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*


Posted by dementor_dan Oct 27th 2007

lol i know my friend's been waiting for ever for the french version... not speaking much english herself....


Posted by Quiscalus Oct 27th 2007

Posted by Morgenes Oct 27th 2007

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".


Posted by gracie_lou13 Oct 27th 2007

Posted by ferret_go_bounce Oct 27th 2007

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...


Posted by Katherine_The_Crowned Oct 27th 2007

Wow, i didnt realize they had to wait so long. They probably did get spoiled.


Posted by April_Lee Oct 27th 2007

Posted by july21tillhp7 Oct 27th 2007

Posted by Slytherin15 Oct 27th 2007

Posted by CFplayer19 Oct 27th 2007

Posted by alastormoody Oct 27th 2007

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


Posted by radishearrings Oct 27th 2007

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.


Posted by LovinLuna88 Oct 27th 2007

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
