So unless you live under a rock, you are probably aware that the last (7th) Harry Potter book comes out at midnight today/tomorrow. I am just not feeling the need to buy it and it is kind of upsetting me. I really enjoyed the first 6 books, I mean they weren’t the best books I’ve ever read, but they are enjoyable. I am also sure I will enjoy the 7th book. All the “Potter Mania” surrounding the book however, is really destroying my motivation to read it. So many people seem to think it is a defining moment, and while I am sure it is going to be a good book, it is just a book. All the news reporting, talk, rumors etc. about it is just making me feel blegh about the book.

The publicity is really getting to me, and that upsets me since I really did enjoy reading the first 6 books and I’m sure I’ll enjoy the 7th when I pick it up. I just am not sure it will be tomorrow or even this weekend when I do, so that the intense potter mania may die down a bit.
