Squee! Bounce! Squee!

OMG release date YAY! 16th July! That's just... a few months away. Pre-order, here I come! *squee*

You know the first thought I had after I learnt that the book was going to be released? JKR better not kill Remus. Talk about a one-track mind. *facepalm*

My current state of mind is half-excited, half-scared, and half "but I was enjoying exploring this post-OotP universe so much, couldn't it have come a bit later?". I *want* this book, but what if I don't like it? What if she confirms a ship I couldn't care less for? What if she KILLS Remus? (I know the Trio aren't dying in this book) And after this, there'll be just one book left!

Also, [livejournal.com profile] fannish5:
Pick five characters and tell us one present each you would like to give them.
1. Faith: Buffy Wesley A friend. She could do with one. (Wood who?)
2. Nikita: A good laugh
3. Remus: One wolf-free month
4. Hermione: Some time with her boys, without having to worry about Voldemort or Death Eaters or prophecies and just being their age
5. Lilah: Wesley

Hmm, I suppose he does. However, *before* he dies, I'd like an explanation of all the weird things he's done so far - like the 'gleam' in his eyes; not killing Voldie; 'some things are worse than death', and so on. *g*

I'd like some explainations, but those never seemed too cryptic to me. I thinkt he gleam just indicates that Voldy having used Harry's blood is creates a weakness Harry will later be able to exploit; he doesn't kill Voldy because he believes the prophecy stating that only Harry can do so; and he's a painfully good guy and believes that, for example, to become a person like Voldy would be a worse thing than death, yadda yadda yadda.
