Today is the day that the sixth Harry Potter book comes out and I can't read it. I even refrained from pre-purchasing said Harry Potter book on Amazon, at Borders, and yes, one more time at Amazon.de. I figured that even if I bought the German edition, I still wouldn't be able to read it and that would be torture.
I got hooked on the Harry Potter books when I was living in England. It felt nice to read light-hearted pseudo children's literature after a long day under the fluorescent lamps in the library, reading small print on original release album notes and trying to not piss off the media director by requesting too many items at once. There was a point when I was trying to finish my MA and couldn't put down Goblet of Fire. How ridiculous is that.
Going to see Gegen die Wand tonight. More later from your local German correspondant.

you know what a good idea is though-- read the harry potter you have already read in english in german.
it worked for me! Well not harry potter and not in german, but you get my point.
But be honest... you were wearing your Harry Potter glasses and wizard hat while waiting for the stroke of midnight, weren't you? :p
