This time next week you could have your nose firmly planted in a copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!
How excited about the book release are you? Will you be queuing all evening with your mates? Maybe you're even planning a party?
Have you managed to avoid all the spoilers so far and how are you going to avoid them once the book's out?
We want to know exactly how you're preparing for the big day!
Oh, I'm so excited!!!!!
I've put up a sheet with the dates on and it's only 4 days to go. WHSmith is open from midnight and I'm going at 6 o'clock in the morning. I made a new wand: oak, Veela hair, 8inches. I'm sure I won't be able to sleep that night as I'm such a big fan of it !!!!!
Yanqing, 11, Plymouth
I've never liked Harry Potter books. I've been to see both films and thought they were GR8! But the books are 2 confussing with too many difficult words to pronounce.
Ali, 13, Clacks
I'm so looking forward to it! I can't believe I didn't like Harry Potter when I first read it. The only thing about this book is none of the bookstores are opening at midnight like everywhere else in the world. Even the huge one in Dublin isn't opening and I'm so disappointed because they won't open till 9 am, hours after you all get it!
Claire, 13, Ireland
I can't wait. I've read all the spoilers.I'm counting the days until I get my hands on that book. I'm probably going to read it all summer. I'M GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!
Laura, 11, USA
I can't wait. I've read all the spoilers.I'm counting the days until I get my hands on that book. I'm probably going to read it all summer. I'M GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!
Laura, 11, USA
I'm really excited I've waited a 1/4 of my life, but I'm going to read so slowly as it could be 3 years till the next one.
I'm quite excited, but what's the big deal? It's gonna be a great book, don't get me wrong, but it's not that special!
Ros, 12, Cheltenham
Everyone is excited, even non-Potter fans! It's all anyone can talk about!
I'm gonna be sat by the post box Saturday just waiting then I'm gonna run off with it and do my Duke of Edinburgh expedition and read it at the same time and all b4 the rest of my family!!! I'm just plain potter crazy!!! Moo ha ha ha ;o)
Lizzie, 15, Stockport
I'm sort of scared that Ron mite be the one who dies! I hope not though.
Jasmine, 11, Sheffield
I have been waiting for this book for the longest time!!! My friends and I are so excited we are even going to have a party and gossip about the books all night. Then in the morning we are going to the store to buy it and then read it. I can't wait for it to come out....I have even been good and haven't read any of the spoilers so the book will a total surprise!!! 5 DAYS!!!
I've been eagerly anticipating getting the book! I had a horrible dream that I got it and it was only paperback and really thin...but that's not going to happen! I'm a quick reader and I'm going to get the book 8.00am on Sat and read it all day and night until I'm finished, no stops, just reading!!!! That's how excited I am! I'm reading the other four books this week to build up to reading the order of the phoenix on sat!!! I can't WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Izzie, 13, Tunbridge Wells
I'm really looking 4ward 2 the 5th book, but does ne1 fink that evey1 is going a bit over da top, i've loved the books since 1998 n I listen 2 the tapes every nite, but it is just a book!! I mite b soundin like a "anti hp" but it is a BOOK, that is all, just chill ebery1!! please!!
Laurence, 13, Chingford
I'm not really excited I have never read any of the books and I don't intend to either!!! Seen the films though they r ok but nothin special! wots all the fuss about?
Becki, 13, Sheffield
I am so excited that I keep asking my parents to get it for me now when it's not even out yet. I was furious when it got postponed but now there is less than a week to wait. YAY!!!!!
Rahat, 14, Hayes
I'll be at a friend's house on June 21, so we're going to get the book together and read it. We're both really excited about reading, and want to get it through as quickly as possible so we can start writing fan fiction about OOTP!!! But we're kind of afraid cos of the death, what if it's our fave character: Sirius Black??
Annis, 14, Maryland, USA
I will probably spend the whole day reading it. But I'm a bit anxious about reading something. I don't want to read about one of my favorite characters dieing. But I really want to read the book, so bring it on!
Faith, 14, Skopje
Yes I can wait, everyone's making way 2 big a deal about a book. I haven't read number 3 yet, I always wait until the next one comes out til I read it because then if I really can't wait then I have the next one and don't have 2 wait 3 years to find out what happens.
Omg, I can't wait for OOTP to come out! It's been so long since the last one that it doesn't seem real that another one is coming out on Sat. I'm really excited and I really want to find out who dies, and what happens now that Voldemort is powerful again. If you want, there is an excerpt of OOTP that you can listen to on the Amazon.com website. Anyway, can't wait till Sat!
Sarah, 14, Wiltshire
I don't think anyone is as big a fan as me because as soon as I get my hands on it I'm just going to read it about at least 300 times non-stop. I think no fan is that big a fan
I think the films have ruined the book. The actors can't act apart from Alan Rickman and Tom Felton.
When I get Order of the Phoenix, I'll be holding it, and not believing I actually have it. Then, I'll start reading it and be back again in Harry's world with all the characters I know so well.
Corey, 13, Massachusetts, USA
I'm really exited about the book, but when I get it I won't be able to stop reading it! It'll be awful when I'm forced to put it down at the end of the day! Doh!
Amy, 11, Scotter
I'm soooooooooooo excited. I can't breathe ....oh my Goooddd... ahhhhhhhhhhh
Aefifa, 14, London
I'm quite scared as I read the 4th 1 wen I was 11 and I'm scared my tastes hve changed now I'm 14. I'm sure it will b good I hope it is as my mum went 2 all da bother 2 order it so it wld b waitin for me wen I got up
Ruth, 14, Stenhousemuir
Oh please help! I am trying to read the fourth book and I have only six days to go
Josh, 15, Kent
I have been waiting for the fifth book to come out and when it is Friday I am going to have a great big party.
Sam ,10, Canterbury
I'm sooooo excited the book's finally gonna be released! I got the date months ago and the suspense was killing me so I found out as much as I could about OOTP. That's OK. I'm really really looking forward to the scary climax. I won't come out of my room til I finish reading it.
Supraja, 13, Thane
I have spent almost 1/5th of my life waiting for this book! There has been 1077 days since the last copy was released. Does that prove how desperate I am for this! (I have to be excited to take my time to figure that out!)
Matt, 14, South Wales
Of course I'm excited. I haven't met anyone who isn't. I've been crazing my mum to pre-order it but she said: ''We'll get Saturday morning'' at least I'll have it. It's going to be the best book ever!!!!!!!!
Abigail, 8, Norwich
YAYYY!!! I can't wait 4 it 2 come out, I'm gona finish it by Monday, then spoil it all 4 my friends!! ;-) lol
Carlie, 14, London
I wasn't a fan til lately and when I was reading the GOF the other day, my mum called me down for dinner but I couldn't put the book down. J.K.Rowling is soooo talented!
Sarra-Louise, 14, New York, USA
I cannot wait for OOTP but it's kind of sad too. After this, there will only be 2 more books! BOO HOO :( But hey, bring on OOTP!
Fran, 13, London
I admit the dragged out release and the pathetic go at making the films has somewhat dampened my eagerness, but I will still be in absolute agony this following week waiting for it!
Menya, 13, Durham
I can't wait for ootp to come out. I've been waiting soooo long!!! It's about time too if you ask me. I've read the other 4 at least 40 times each whilst waiting for it! It'll be very quiet in my house on Saturday seeing as we've got 2 copies ordered!
Caroline, 14, Reading
Excitement is the wrong term. I'm hoppin raving mad about it. I just can't wait to get it!!!!! I won't be able to get it at midnight!!! I haven't been listening to any publicity so it won't be ruined for me.
Alistair, 15, Melbourne
I am like so excited. I can't wait to find out who dies. When? Where? Why? Oh my God it is gonnabe the best book ever!!!!!!!!!!
Chaz, 12, Nottingham
Me and my best friend can't wait for the fifth book we wont be in school because we would have finished our exams so we're going to spend all our time reading. We're going to a 24 hour store at mid night and getting the book then. We're soooooooooo excited
Megan, 15, Plymouth
I'm more exited about Return of the King coming out
Chloe, 9, Manchester
Even though I'm sooooo
excited, I'm a bit nervous of reading something I don't want to, I mean what would you do if your fav character dies. I probably wouldn't stop crying!!!
Ellie, 12, Berkshire
Yeah, sure, I (like millions of other people in the world) can't wait! I'll have to finish reading it pretty quickly, though, important exam coming up...I'm sure I'll LOVE the book!
Aneesah, 14, Malaysia
I'm not that bothered, I'll buy it and read it but I'm not gonna stay up all night waiting for it. I'll go to the shops when I can, if they've sold out, then fine. I'm not gonna have a breakdown about it.
Tills, 13, Worthing
I cant wait another second! I've read all the books countless times and I'm so excited!
Emily, 9, Stenhousemuir
Yep but I'm in France when it is released so I'm going to have to wait *sob sob*
Kath, 12, Worcs
God I cant wait!!! I'm not even gonna come out my room till I've finished it!!! I cant stop thinking bout it!
Becca, 13, Grantham
I'm going nuts about OoTP. It comes out on my sister's birthday. I'll be getting it with my birthday money. OMG, it comes out in 6 days
Jake, 8, Bunbury, Australia
I am looking forward to seeing what happens to the characters. Another plus is the fact that all the rumors will be cleared up! And then we can start on the rumors for book six! =)
Oh I'm so excited. My mother was so nice and made me a Hogwarts robe just like the ones from the movies and I'm dressing up as Hermione and my friend is dressing as the boy who lived of course. Then on Friday night we're going to the book reading and they're reading the first five chapters then afterwards we're going to the bookstore downtown and we're going to catch up on some sleep in front of it until it opens. I'm so crazy
The last time I read a Harry Potter book, without knowing what was going to happen, was 3 years ago - so I am looking forward to seeing what will happen next! I have loved Harry Potter since the moment I began reading the first book, when I found out that my birthday is on the same day as Harry Potter's!
Paprika, 14, Chatswood
I'm so excited I'm going insane!! I CAN NOT wait at all I'm getting it Saturday!!!!! I had a dream about the book being released!
Jamie, 14, USA
OMG!!! I can't wait!! I haven't done very well with the spoilers though. I am trying to keep busy by re-reading 1-4 four the 8th time.
Jessie, 12, Dripping Springs
When I get my hands on OOTP, I'm not going to school, I'm not watching TV, I'm not gonna call my friends, I'm gonna lock myself in a small room with OOTP, and stay there until I have read it at least 7 times. Howz that for a fan????
Beverly, 12, Melbourne, Australia
I've been waiting for soo long, and I can't wait until it comes out. My friends and I are going to Barnes and Noble for a Potter Party until 12:00 n then we're goin to my house to read it until we're done. I can't wait!
Megan, 13, New Orleans, USA
Even though here in Australia we are getting it at 8:31 in the morning instead of 12:00 I'm still very very excited, I spent the weekend before it comes out hard because I wish it is out this weekend!! I can't wait any longer!
Claire, 10, Adelaide, Australia
Yes I am VERY excited about the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix coming out in 6 daz!!!! I have been waiting for this book ever since I finished reading the 4th one. I check this site at least 4 times a week to read all of the new Harry Potter news and I can't wait until I have the 5th book in my hands!!!!
Jessica, 14, Vancouver, Canada
This book had better be worth it. I've been waiting patiently for 3 years now, so it'd better live up to my expectations or I'll cry. ;(
Jamie, 15, Kent
I can't wait anymore. I have to have my hands on it or I'll go crazy!! I need Harry!! NOW!!! I'll read it all summer if I have to!
Kelesea, 11, Huron
I first heard the release date in January and it seemed like such a long wait! Now it's only a week away and I can't wait! The book is DEFINITELY going to be worth the wait! I'm so excited!
Christine, 13, USA
I just can't wait I am so exited!!! I LOVE Harry Potter! Thank you J.K.Rowling for making the best books ever!!!
Zac, 13, London
OMG I just cannot wait until book 5, it will be great when it comes out. I will probably stay up all night reading it until I finish it and I think when J.K Rowling said that Harry is going to go somewhere and find out the importance of the place. I'm guessing it is probably the riddle house. I don't know I just have a strong feeling that it is that.
Riley, 14, Walnut
when I get the book I'm gonna cry and cry and cry and cry and cry. I have been waiting for 3 years! And it was just a slow painful torture. I shiver when I think of the awful waiting for HP 6... and I want to cry at the thought of the 7nth book!! I can't even eat properly, I am dying to read it.
Hermione, 14, Calexico
I really cant wait for it, it has been so long!!!! It's just that the fact that I will probably have to wait for the 6th book for like another 3 years is like heart shattering! I just hope it will go away as soon as I get the 5th book!!!!
Aimee, 15, Cape Cod, USA
I cant wait! I have read all the spoilers I got my hands on, but now I'm even more exited for the book! Although I'm scared I'll finish it to soon, and all the excitement will be over!
Julia, 13, Eagan, USA
I really can't wait. I have a bet with my dad that if I can read all the potter books by the 21st then he will give me some money! I started last week and I am now on the 4th money and ootp here I come!!!!!!!!
Rebecca, 13, Birmingham
I rang up my friend to remind them that there was 7 DAYS TO GO!!! and she said she remembered when I told her it was 107 days!...I really excited but then...how long are we going to have to wait for the sixth book?!
Lily, 13, Hereford
I am so sad because I live in Norway and I don't get the book before 3 days after its release - I am so mad!
Trude, 15, Stavangar
Me & my friend have been waiting three years for this book!!! And yes I'm really excited but I must admit I did lose interest for a while, she took so long with the OOTP, it nearly ruined the whole Harry Potter world for me.
Liam, 14, Stratford-upon-Avon
I cannot wait!!!! The book is going to be very exiting!!! Just 6 days left:-)
Gunn-Helen, 14, Norway
OH MY GOD! 'Excited' isn't big enough word to describe me. I've been waiting 3 WHOLE YEARS of my life for that book. If anyone thinks they know more Harry Potter than me (Apart from J.K.Rowling) then I'll be happy to compete. I LOVE THE BOOKS AND I'll be waiting outside Woolworth's 6 hours before its released and I'm gonna sit outside the shop and finish the book! I bet you I'll read the whole book 3 times before school the next day!! J.K Rowling, you're a genius!!!
Intisar, 15, London
I can hardly sit still I'm so excited.
I'm going to the book launch and we are going to have an opening.
Emily, 12, Johannesburg, South Africa
I've made up a little 'OOTP is coming' dance
Katie, 13, Essex
I simply CANNOT WAIT!!!! I'm reading Harry Potter and the GOF out loud to my family, and when I get my hands on OOTP, I'll read it out loud to them too. that way we can all read it at once. The only thing is, it takes longer that way... well, I am very excited! I've been waiting for ages!
Sumya, 14, Los Angeles, USA
Oh my gosh!!! I cannot wait another week for Harry Potter 5 to come out, literally!!! I'm already finished with re-reading all of Harry Potter 1-3, and I am almost finished with re-reading the fourth book...ergh, my patience is gone!!! I want Harry NOW!!!!
Yes! I can't wait! and I don't care about all the spoilers! I'm still reading OOTP all of next weekend! No one can distract me!
Gaurav, 14, New York, USA
I'm gettin it but it's only a book n look at the price of it - nearly £20!
Vicki, 14, Enniskillen
I'm so excited that I have dreams about getting the book!
I was nearly weeping with excitement when GOF came out; but with OOTP I'm not so sure - the films have, in my opinion, damaged the books reputation. I would rather read the new Artimus Fowl or wait for the next Series Of Unfortunate Events.
James, 12, Durham
I am Brazilian, and I am going to read the book in English, I am so excited.
Icaro, 15, Sao Paula, Brazil
I can't wait for the fifth book! The wait has been torture, so I'm really looking forward to it!!!
Em, 14, Midlands
Hmm let me think..am I excited...ummm YES! I have been waiting for months and months! I read the first 4 and they were great! They keep getting better and better so I can't imagine how great this will be! Wooooooo I'm so excited!
Kelsey, 13, Stanhope
HURRAH!! Finally it's here, I can't wait until Saturday. And I'm so happy I could make the worlds best patronus.
I can honestly say that I am not looking forward to it. It's no big deal - for me 21st June is an ordinary day!
Uzma, 14, Burnley
I can't wait for the upcoming book! I didn't exactly LOVE the suspense, but the sales will be huge. I have heard many rumors about the plot of OOTP... I want to find out the real one by myself!
Sammie, 13, London
OMG! It's coming in 1 week! I can't wait!!! The 3 year wait will so be worth it! All the rumors are getting me excited!!!! It's so soon! Me and my friends are big fans and were PSYCHED!!!!!!
Brittany, 12, Edmonton, Canada
I can't wait for it to come out. I started reading the fourth one at the beginning of April and it seems so long that I haven't read a Harry Potter book!
Allie, 14, Milwaukee
Is that really a question? OF COURSE I'm desperate to read it!!!! It's been sooooooo long since the last one!!!
Beatrice, 14, France
I have been waiting for soooooo long and I can't wait till June 21, in only 6 days I'll get the book! I made plans for that day since I found out when the book was coming out. So me and my friends are going to the store at 10:30pm on June 20th.Then at midnight we could be the first ones to buy the book!!!!! I I'm getting all psyched!
Sanya, 14, Toronto, Canada
I've been waiting for this for a long time and I get goosebumps when I think how will I wait till 6th book.
Himsun, 13, New Delhi
I CAN'T WAIT for book 5, the wait is starting to drive me CRAZY and it's going to be the coolest book in the world :) JK you are the queen of the world :) Bow down to JK
Harry Potter Freak, 15, Sussex
Can I wait? What a silly question! My Mum's ordered it and I went barmy when she told me. I wanted to queue outside Waterstones!
Gemma, 10, Sheffield
No not really because I prefer the Lord of the Rings!
Lydia, 13, Northants
I absolutely LOVE the books and I can't wait for the fifth one. But what I can't stand are the films, they are so wrong they are nothing like the books and the characters, for example, Dudley aren't the same!! Does anyone feel the same? The day I get the book I wont be able to stop reading
Sukhivir, 14, Leicester
I really cant wait till I can finally start reading what's going to happen next! I can't sit still. and my plan is to drink lots of coffee (yuk)..so I can read it all morning from 12!
I'm so excited, but I have a little problem. The day it's delivered I have to go to a wedding and no-one will be at home to sign for it! I hope they leave it.
Holly, 15, Dorset
I am sooooooo excited. It seems to have been centuries to wait and I have done loads of stuff to pass the time. I have spent loads of time on the Harry Potter section of my fave site (Newsround of course) , I've re-read all the books three times each and me and my best friend Jess have re-written books 1 and 2 with us as characters in it! Now it's here and I am sooooo glad! It's gonna be excellent!
Louisa, 12, Huddersfield
It'll take some time until they get the book translated into my language and I can't wait! It's the book I've been most excited about EVER.
Mari, 14, Estonia
OMG I can't imagine anyone not liking HP!! My b-day is on the 22nd, and I TOTALLY FREAKED OUT when I heard the news, and now, I'm even more freaked out. Like, forever ago I made my dad promise he would buy it for me. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I couldn't b more excited!!!!
Arna, 13, Westervoort, Holland
I can't wait! I wasn't a huge Harry Potter fan a few years ago, but now I'm a full-fledged Harry Potter fan. I CANNOT wait. I am going to be bouncing off the walls all this week. Unfortunately, I live in America, and we won't have any of the special midnight parties. Oh well, I still reserved a copy of OOTP and I will get it after drivers ed.
Amy, 15, USA
Wow. It's been 3 years and the next one's going to be out in 6 days! I really can't wait. I mean, there's been a lot of hype about the books and movies now, but I think it's mainly because it's been so long since one of the books came out that fans don't have much to do except talk about the old books over and over again. I am very much looking forward to reading OotP! =)
Lina, 15, London
I have 6 days to read 4!!!!!!!!!!! Help! But I am waiting up until midnight on Friday to get my book!!!!!
Emma, 12, Liverpool
I can't wait, I'm soooo excited!!!! I know loads of stuff about the book already which does spoil it a bit but I still can't wait anyway!!
Angela, 14, Belfast
I am so excited about Harry Potter that I get butterflies in my stomach from just thinking about it. I remember last yr when they said it would come out last summer and it never did. I was so disappointed. I have been ready for this since I was in the 7th grade!! Bring it On!!!!!!!!!!!
Lana, 14, Louisville, USA
Excitement is an understatement! I think that next Saturday will be the most exciting day of my life! (Maybe apart from the day I'll read the 7th book...). And I DON'T understand how could ANYONE think that LotR is better than HP.
Tania, Athens, Greece
I don't understand why everyone's making such a big deal out of it, it's only a book, right?
Sophia, 13, Essex
We've been waiting so long that now I'm really excited! I've been chatting to American kids about the new book and they are just as excited as I am. I can't wait!
I cannot wait!! That is all I have to say. I can not explain my excitement!!
Lilly, 12, Sackville
Ever since I read the 4th book I couldn't wait to start on the 5th and now it's finally nearly here!!! Me and my brother are fighting to see who gets to read it first!!!
Emma, 14 , Leicester
I am so excited! I have been counting down for this for ages. I have left the whole of this Saturday free just for reading
Shakira, 13, Bolton
Me and my family are soooo excited about the book, we are arguing over who gets to read it first!!! We are also going away that day, so we will probably have to wait for Sunday before we get the book!!!
Catherine, 11, Pinner
I'm so excited about the book coming out in just a week! I've waited for three years and really can't wait much longer. I love Harry Potter and I'm ready to read the fifth book!
I can't wait for the new book to come out. In my school, we are doing a lot of Harry Potter competitions for Ootp.
Chekira, 12, London
Of course I'm excited! Everyone's excited! It's going to be the biggest event of this year!
Jen, 13, Glasgow
I think that Ootp is going to be exciting because whenever I read about it, I feel very curious and excited. Anyway, good luck JK!!!!!
Saham, 9, London
I used to care but now it doesn't seem that big of a deal to me anymore. Probably cuz it's been too commercialised.
Oh I'm so exited, I mean, only a week away! I'm getting it for me birthday cos me birthday is that day!!!!! yeep!
Gahadi, 10, Grays
OMG! I cannot wait!!! The day after my last final!!!!!! I can't wait!! The movies have been keeping me busy. lol! I remember when they first said that it's going to come out June 21, I was like, wow that's a long way away. Now, its just a week away! HURRY.
Kristina, 12, New York, USA
I'm EXTREMELY excited about HP coming out next week. My friend and I are going to a HP party at Borders - it's going to be great!
Bridget, 15, USA
I've only been into Harry Potter for a year now, so I feel sorry for all the fans who have been excited for book 5 much longer than me! But @ 2.00am, wen I'm trying to finish it, I'll be like 'oh, they died.....so wot?!?!'
Larna, 12, Aberdeen
I really cannot wait any longer... Well I have ordered it aswell! I am really excited about it all. I have been telling my friends about it the whole week! Well those of you who are also getting it ...ENJOY!!
Aishah, 12 , Leicester
It seems like I've been waiting for this book forever! I'll be at my bookstore at midnight I'm so excited!
Sarah, 14 , Cardiff
I am soooo looking forward to it! Me and my friends will be first in the queue on Saturday but unfortunately, I have to go into school that day...I will have to read as much as I can that day and try to get it finished some time before Sunday morning! Don't get me wrong though, I'm not going to rush it because that will spoil it!
Lucy, 14, Herts
I can't wait for it. I wanna see what happens to Voldemort and who'll die. I've waiting for it ages and I can't wait another week. Lord of the Rings is soooo boring!
Faiza, 14, Manchester
My family are getting so annoyed with me coz I talk about it all the time. I'm so excited, I just cant wait!!
Juliet, 15, Norwich
I'm sooooooooo hyper about next Saturday and I'm going to be hyper all week as and annoy ALL my friends (well it's their prob if they don't like HP). I can't wait and I'm going to be on this site lookin at all the cool OOTP stuff and I'm going 2 watch the interview with JKR on Thursday and I'm getting up especially early next Saturday so I can be at Waterstones to get my copy even though I've pre-ordered it!! OK I'll stop now.
Katy, 13, Glasgow
OMG!!! I can't wait!!! This is the most I've been excited in years!
Lizzy, 12, Ipswich
I think HP's been really overrated. I used to be an enormous fan, but I just think it's been wrecked by too much publicity!
Verity, 12, Cornwall
I am awaiting the arrival of the new book yes, but I must agree with many others, that Harry Potter has been ruined by the film, and all the news coverage, it annoys me, as it seems to take all the excitement out of it. I still love the books, and it's comment is nothing personal to JK! I think that the news, and press have made it seem so fake, and so boring. Also, in the film, it is spoilt by bad actors.
Charlie, 11, Watford
I cannot WAIT for OOtP!!!!!
Kaleigh, 14, Connecticut, USA
I really used to love HP, I was one of the first to start reading them but I'm sorry JK - I know it wasn't your fault but because she took so long with the book, she has completely spoiled it by taking so long with book 5 & with all the little kids acting like they are the biggest HP fans. I think HP has lost all of it's original fans and will soon become just another book - shame.
Ross, 15, Fife
Of course I'm excited! I admit that I never used to be such a huge fan but now I'm Potter mad. I'm getting it at midnight and I'm going to stay up all night at my mates house teasing her with it because she thinks it's silly to go out at midnight.
Natasha, 14, Kilbride

I cannot wait until 21st of June. I've been waiting 4 years for Ootp!!! Only problem is there's 5 in my family and we're only getting 1 COPY!!!!!

I've been waiting for ages and I think it'll be the best so far

I don't care, I used to like HP a lot but it's been ruined- I constantly hear about it on the news, everyone acts like the films are the greatest thing this century and I'm sick of it! I admit I will probably read it, having read the others but I'm in no hurry.
I can't wait! My birthday is the day after and I'm a really big Potter fan. I've been reading and reading the four books and now I want to read the 5th!

I can't wait at all! I've been waiting years for this book and it's only a week away! I'm jealous of the first person who gets to buy a copy.

I don't see what all the fuss is about, Lord of the Rings is way better. I used to like them until the films, they could have done a way better job of them. I'll probably read it, but after everyone else has.

I can't wait! I've ordered it and it should hopefully be here Saturday morning!!! I'd really like to go to the celebrations thing that's happening though, that sounds really cool!

I'm so excited - I've been waiting for so long and now it's almost here! I'm having a Potter party with all my mates!
Jemma, 10, Exeter
I can't wait! Sadly, I can't get the book at midnight because the shop where I pre-ordered it can't open at midnight. But I'll be running there at 8am on the Saturday morning!
Mark, 13, Middlesbrough
I CAN'T WAIT!!!! It's been ages and everyone's celebrating!
Sophie, 10, Gosport
Am I excited? In a word... YES! Can't wait, I thought it was ages away when they first announced it... and now its less than a week- HURRAY!
Anna, 15, Grantham
