2. Why are you posting here and not reading the spoilers I'm about to post?
Snape is killed by Samuel Jackson. Snapes on a plane is a shitty movie anyway.

6. I just waited in line 90 seconds for the new Harry Potter book.
:P My husband wanted to get it at midnight at Barnes & Noble, and we had a reserved copy waiting for us. However, we would have been in line at least two hours. We decided to go to Target at 9 AM today instead, and instead of paying cover price minus 20% at B & N, we paid $17.99 at Target. :woohoo: Hubby's reading it now, then I get my turn this afternoon. We're reading it in shifts.

13. Yes
And those of us waiting in line implored those who'd already gotten their books, and were passing us, on their way out, while we waited to get in...we implored them to plaease just let us TOUCH the book. Some were good-natured enough to allow this.
