I sobbed at the end of HBP. I can't imagine what The Deathly Hallows is going to do to me.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.

Ann, that's a ferret.
No, callous and strange is even asking whether you should attend a wedding on the day of the new HP release. The HP will be there the next day, the wedding won't.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, but HP7 is an event NINE YEARS in the making! How long have the bride and groom known each other, huh?
HP doesn't make me cry. And I think the Dumbledore thing lost its impact since I was spoiled for it and spent most of the book wanting to get to it to see if it was true or not.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I wasn't spoiled, but I didn't cry, cause I am not that invested. I mean, I want to know what happens, but it's not like Buffy.
I think I laughed and shouted "Hot damn! That's AWESOME! I can't believe she did that!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I disliked Fledgling. I thought it was very awkward for OEB, and even if I could reliably make the psychological distance so the sex wasn't statutory rape (but it was, wasn't it? Her age in human years shouldn't make the difference, not if she was still a child in vamp years), the relationships smacked too much of culty drug-addict for me to care about any of them.
What I like about OEB is her "great power comes with great compromise and loss" air. Didn't get that feel off Fledgling, and I missed it.

I just want to see what happens to Draco, honestly. And I'd like to see Hermione be proven wrong and Ron to stop whining.

I didn't like Fledgeling, mostly for the reasons ita didn't. I just didn't care about the characters, and the book barely held my interest.
On the other hand, I'm very much emotionally invested in the HP books, and would like the final book right NOW please, thankyouverymuch.

Oh, Jilli, I didn't know the new Harrison was out! I may splurge and get it tonight, even though that would involve me taking off my vintage apple-green pleated silk nightie with hand-crochted tea-dyed lace and walking to the bookstore.
Will I like it? Will I have a HSM? Damn, I want a good book tonight. I need to be distracted from my teacherly ire (see BItches.)

You will like it, and you will most likely have at least one HSM, if not more. (I had a couple.) So I think it's totally worth getting changed and walking to the bookstore for.
