YouTube Vlog Challenge
I've recently discovered YouTube (don't laugh, I mean for more than quick-hit recommended videos, you know, discovered it discovered it) and am having an embarrassingly huge amount of fun with it. PotterCast has even started a daily vlogging project. I noticed a couple of people already talking about the book there, and I realized a lot of you communicate that way first. SO! Here's what we'll do. If you have the book already, post a vlog about it; post the link here (for extra points, show yourself with the book), and I'll make a little mashup of your responses and post them either on Leaky's channel or one of PotterCast's Wildcard Wednesday vids. Deadline...Monday? That works. MONDAY IT IS! We'll do this again when more people have the book.
Update: I changed my mind. Let's make the deadline WEDNESDAY so that people actually have time to get the book and show themselves with it, cool? Cool. :)
Finally reviewed! It's again sort of long and rambly, but it covers basically my thoughts about each chapter, as well as my feelings on the book as whole. The playlist for all 4 videos can be found here:

Again, here's the first video just in case the playlist isn't working:

Even though I forgot to officially say who I am on camera....forgive me Melissa.
Hi Mellissa! Your book was awesome and it made me so Happy. This was my first vlog so forgive me for all of the rambling. Thank you for the awesome book!!

umm.. lmao. i dont get it.. lmao
Dude: I just read your book for FIVE hours straight. Were I to make a vlog right now, it would show me wincing as a result of the stiff neck and headache from which I am now suffering.
That said, I only tore myself away from reading to post this and take some painkillers. I'm headed right back to the book as soon as the codeine kicks in. ;->
I have planned my entire day on Tuesday around going to the bookstore and buying the book. I'm pretty sure I'll be skipping at least one class to read it. Can't wait to finally read it, and then I shall tell the world how awesome it is.
So, about 12 hours ago I finished "Harry, A History"!! And I felt that I should post a short video commemorating the event.
Of course, with my rambling, the "short" video I had planned became 7 minutes long. It's not a review, so much as an exultation of adoration for the book. Whilst wearing a tie around my head.

Hello! I'm about 100 pages from the end right now, so I don't have an informed video up now reviewing it and such.
However, on Tuesday, I got up extra early and traversed to my local Barnes and Noble, laptop-with-a-built-in-camera in hand(s), and chronicled myself waiting for the book, purchasing it, and then extolling about it.
Be warned, it's about 40 minutes long in total, and contains much rambling and kazoo-playing, but it also contains the "Harry A History Dance", so it might be worth the time.
I collected the videos together into one playlist, for viewing convenience, here:

If for some reason that isn't working, here's the link to the first video, just in case:

My cat loved your book. Here is her vlog.

Just got the shipping confirmation. If it gets here in December, like it's estimated to, I might be taking HaH to Rio, do I get super duper extra points if I make a vlog with one of the "new 7 wonders" in the background? Haha, nah, it will probably get here sooner than that, I'll have to betray HaH and take that other book coming out in December instead. Oops.
Jokes aside, I'm actually getting too excited for this book, so thanks in advance :).
No way Mizukey!!! you should totally email me!
Aw, I don't know if I'll have my book by Monday or not. Fingers crossed!
I'm going to make a video as soon as I finish. I want the full experience. I sat at my window with the computer last night for 3 hours waiting for the UPS man to finally go through my neighborhood and promptly ignored my history paper to read the first 3 chapters. I do have to say that I had to remind myself to breathe at the end of the third chapter; very well done Melissa.
And this really is a small world Ashley. I met you at the local Harry Potter release party and I know your youngest sister... weird.
I recorded myself reading. I'm such a geek.

I know there is no talking in it- but I just mushed 6 hours of reading into a 2 minute video.
Aww, I don't have the proper equipment to make a video...oh, wait..maybe I do! squee! Is there software you have to buy or download to make/edit videos?
WEEE! Just posted a video about the book Melissa! I'm not done reading yet, but so far it is amazing!
