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 see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

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.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Summer on Radio 1

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
