With only 6 (?) days until the film, and the book due to be released two weeks tomorrow, I thought it was about time we had a Harry thread.

So, have you pre-ordered your books and tickets to the cinema?

I'm dressing up as a wizard at work for the film and book :D

Is anyone going at midnight to get their books?

I still haven't ordered my book, I really want to go at midnight, as it's the last chance to do that, but I live too far away. My friend Stacey is out in Manchester at midnight before the release day, and she doesn't want to go at midnight to get it!

I don't know why, but I'm reaaally looking forward to seeing Kreacher, he's great!

I'll be accused of posting an inane reply, but I haven't read any of the books in the series nor seen any of the films, so I can honestly say that there is no cumulative excitement emanating from me in regards the anticipation of the release of this final book.

I prefer the Philip Pullman books myself.

I've had the book on pre-order from Amazon for a few months now. I'm not what you'd call a Harry Potter fanatic but I've read all the books that've come out so far, and like pretty much everyone else in the country I do want to know what happens in the end. Though I'd be a bit disappointed if Harry died tbh.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I was discussing this today, I'd quite like Harry to die, I think he's a bit of an idiot!

I don't know what to do about the book this year.

I don't read them but my son does. Last time I didn't have to buy it because a friend bought it, read it in 24 hrs and sent it to me. It was the adult version but I don't know if that made a difference to my son.

I haven't spoken to that friend for about a year though so I doubt I can just ask her again out the blue :*

They can sod off if they think I'm queueing up at midnight to buy a book. It's a book. They have plenty of copies, there is no reason to go at midnight. Grrrr.

Then again I'm also not buying it till I can get it for a fiver or less, libraries are the way forwards!

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

I love buying them. I'm gutted, my 'Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets' and my 'Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban' first editions got destroyed.

I read the Michael Moore book Stupid White Men in just under 3 hours. I'm not saying it was puerile, far from it, but that's the quickest I've ever read a book.

Same here, well it took me more than three hours, but not too long.

I've not preordered the book or bought cinema tickets. I'll wait a couple of weeks to see the film and I'll buy the book probably on the day. Last time my sister bought the book for me on the day it came out. No way I'm getting up at midnight to buy it. I've got about £20 in book vouchers which I need to spend.

I am currently re-reading book 6, since I read it only once 2 years ago. It's rather scary. The first few books seem pretty tame now.

I started reading them again, am currently on book 5 :). Slow reader, me.

I, erm, might have re-watched The Philosopher's Stone for no reason at all this afternoon...

I bought 'The Prisoner of Azkaban' for £5 on DVD at Asda yesterday, actual bargain.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
