Tom Felton

[wednes]

Well, on page 195 of HP and the O of the P, I noticed something that made me laugh. In the movies, whenever that little shithead Malfoy is giving Potter the business, he does this final sneer before walking away. Just another way in which the acting in those films os so over-the-top.

Well, Ms Rowling has decided to write that move in, perhaps as a nod to the delightful Tom Felton, who plays Draco "boy you love to hate" Malfoy.

Other non-spoilery highlights: family tree info, Dumbeldore's full name, and lots and lots and lots of new characters. I'm on page 229.

And you know, half the mall is reading this book right now. My Hot Hot Boss was walking around yesterday, and everywhere he went people were reading it. Okay, gotta go.

I was in a mall with a Barnes & Noble attached yesterday and I am telling you it was "Harry Potter Day". I noticed various books about Harry Potter near the cashiers and realized, hey it's Harry Potter Day, everybody gets paid!

Still waiting on my copy, altho I coulda snapped one up at a Best Buy yesterday for ~$21. Just across the parking lot people were being turned away at Borders unless they'd reserved a copy, while Best Buy had stacks....

Borders is releasing thier hold on copies as of end of business today.

I am told they have them at Sam's club for way less than retail...but I haven't seen it for myself.

I saw a news story saying that amazon has delivered almost 1 million copies of the book.
