Am I the only shmuck who pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and am not planning to be at a midnight opening, and am therefore not going to have anything to say about the book until, apparently, everyone in the world has already read it? I mean, I pre-ordered it! I already paid for it! I don't want to wait in line for a bazillion hours just to pay for it again, even if that means I can read it before the sun rises! Does this make me a bad, movie-preferring fan? Will I be all left out on July 16th, missing all the best discussions and reactions, forced to catch up on the dregs afterwards, after all the good comments have been made?
Please tell me no. Lie, if you must.
