Reading Experience Poll
Most of us are done reading HBP by now, and most of us also enjoyed the book a lot. Still, there have been several posts about how our reactions to the new book itself, to having a new book, to fandom erupting in about equal amounts of wank and squee, were different from what we expected. I'm curious to see if we can sum it up a bit.
