So how many others are waiting? Anyone else going to buy it the first weekend it is available? How many think it is still a kids book and will not read it? Anyone just not care?
I'm going to buy it once the Dutch-language paperback edition comes out. I already have the first four books, albeit in Dutch rather than in English. I went for the Dutch edition because of my son Tom (2 years old now; hopefully he'll find them interesting once he learns to read).
I'm thinking about getting the whole series in English as well, though -- makes it much easier to discuss them. In the Dutch edition, not only the story is translated, but with the exception of the name "Harry Potter", all the names of characters and places have been changed as well. That makes discussing them in English near-impossible.
I must confess however that despite having the first four books sitting on the bookshelf, having seen both movies, and having the first movie on DVD, I haven't actually read any of the books yet...
