But anyway, I had a BLAST and the book is way awesome! I laughed, I cried, it MOOVED me. LOL!
But let me see if I can find the newspaper articles... I'm in BOTH of them! Go me!
Ok, so... the websites for our newspapers are dumb, so no pictures, AND I have to type the entire thing out. Suckage. Ok, here it goes! (but with no last names)
POTTER PARTIES; Boy wizard's fifth book debuts amid speculation
By Ann Winterholter
"Harry Potter isn't everything but it's right up there with oxygen" declares a T-shirt worn by 16-year-old Jenny.
Fans of the worlds' most famous kid wizard aren't exactly shy about their feelings, especially when the latest installment of his biography is about the be released.
"Harry Poter and the Order of the Phoenix" by J. K. Rowling was sold by the hundreds starting at 12:01 this morning at bookstores across (ahh... the town!).
It's 38-chapters and 896 pages long, and Friday night fans couldn't wait to get their noses in it.
Over the Hot Butterbeer and Cauldron Coolers at Borders, the speculation was high about what was going to happen during Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts school of Whichcraft and Wizardy.
According to interviews with Rowling, one of the main characters is going to die, and fans debated as to who it might be.
"I'm scared it's going to be Hagrid," Jenny said of Hogwarts' giant groundskeeper. "There's going to be riots in America!"
Garrett, 11, glumly agreed: "I think it's going to be Hagrid."
Ok, I don't feel like typing that one anymore. My friends aren't even in that one. Kinda made me mad because they were sitting right with me and saying who they thought was going to die and stuff and you can't even tell! So I'll just write the part of the next article where we're in it.
HARRY POTTER FANS FLOCK TO BOOKSTORES
By Veronica Stickney
"We're not going to sleep until we finish the books," promised 16-year-old Jenny. She sat in the Borders' cafe with three friends, each wearing a homemade Harry Potter T-shirt.
The highschool girls spent about six hours on the shirts, they said, and also found time to crimp their hair like Hermione's and use eyeliner to craft crooked lightening blots on their foreheads.
The filled in Harry Potter crossword ouzzels, big mugs of ButterBeer at hand.
"It's just so much fun," Said Darla, A 17-year-old senior-to-be. "We all want to go to Hogwarts," she said of the school of witchcraft and wizardry at which Harry enters his fifth year in the new book.
And Jenny, a junior-to-be is in love with a certain character.
"I'm going to marry Ron Weasley," she said, confident, smiling, a high-school girl with a crush. Ron is Harry's best friend.
And then blah blah blah. Well at least they had a picture of us in that one and Darla, but Tasha and Brianna weren't in it!
