I'm so excited I finally got it!

I'm quite deficient when it comes to technology, so I couldn't do one myself (or, rather, I could have, but it would have taken hours and hours that I don't have) but the people in this vlog said it all. And Siriusly, Melissa, it takes the bravery of a Gryffindor to tell your story so personally. Thanks again. A day hasn't gone by since I finished the book that I haven't gone back to look at one part or another again. It's just that fantastic.

AMAZING! The girl with the brownish-blond hair and the yellow chair behind her...First off she is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! Second, I really felt like what she said was heartfelt and she had a lot of amazing things to say about the book. I WANT TO READ IT NOW BECAUSE SHE DID!!!!

OMG....that's me. I didn't think that you guys would really use my video but thanks....The video is great, I really enjoyed seeing what everyone had to say. I'm freaking out a bit over here...but yeah, good job.

Is it me, or when we have Dawlish (not The Dawlish... [I checked on YouTube for the name]) and he talks about Pirates, did anyone mentally flash Snape with an eye patch, a wooden peg leg and him going "expellaARRRRRmus!"?

No? Just me?

Melissa, I received your book last night, (I had, or was forced, to wait for my Birthday since it was coming from my wife and I couldn't get it early no matter how much I begged!) and I am 107 pages into it already. I am very thankful to you that you wrote this book and I am truly enjoying every aspect of this astonishing chain of events. Beyond that however, your tome further reinforces in me the fact that I have been actively part of something truly amazing, the likes of which will probably never happen again. I cannot wait to finish it, and read it all over again.

PS... And thanks to Birthday $$$ I just now pre-ordered my copy of ‘The Tales of Beedle the Bard’, Collector's Edition from Amazon… Very exciting!!!

I've been so busy moving and getting ready to start a new job i totally missed that the book was out. I cant wait to read it Melissa! The video log was awesome! It's great to see other fans rave about the book. I'm a 29 year old rasta guy who loves Harry Potter and has listened to all 7 books back to back non stop since I got them on my iPod. It's so addicting I cant stop and I almost never listen to music on my ipod anymore. and the more cannon that comes out the more i have to go back and re listen to the stories all over again. Thank you so much for everything Melissa! You are giving me chance to relive all the wonderful moments of the fandom that my freinds just dont understand, except for my freind's wife who got me into the books. Thank you!

Aahahaha! the end of the video made me laugh so hard! I'm so happy your book is being received so well! :D my copy is still going around the classroom. so far they're all likin' it too. :)

hey,

love the book about half way through and loving every moment of it. Hopefully we'll get to see you on the west coast.

cheers.

My UK edition of Harry, a History is now in the "Dispatching Soon" state, so hopefully I should get it this week or early next week.

Next week! I'll get my hands on the book next week! SQUEE!!!

Loved the mash-up! Don'#t have youtube so I won't be able to enter in the future :( Oh well, I wil have the book and then will have to read 7 books by some small author... XD

Oh, Meliss. I hope you are taking everything they said to heart, because they MEAN it. It was amazing, and really helped me get closure. I wasn't ready to let go of the books, I didn't want them to be over. Your book helped me relive everything and them come to terms with the end.

P.S. Love the one guy. keep it goin' dude, don't afraid of all us girls. I like pirates too.

It was great Melissa! Keep it up! Love!

Dang, I can't wait for Christmas Morning! Great Mashup, all of you vloggers were great! I also watched the reading - thank you to whomever captured that, it was awesome! Melissa, you captured Sue's squeeness perfectly! Ok, 6 weeks to go... And the bad thing is, I know it is in my house somewhere...

Come on lads, you making Melissa look like a sexist! Even the cat did a vlog. Just one bloke on there who thought he was reading treasure island with pirates and stuff ;)

I really want to read this boooook! stupid ireland not having it!

I really wish I could read it! Stupid ocean....

Just got my book! I finally found an online store from Brazil that had it in stock. I'll start reading it now, can't wait =]

WEEE! We totally rock...erm...WROCK ya'll! Go Melissa!

Hey, it's not loading! dang. I really wanted to watch it. I was going to submit my reaction video but my video camera is kind of broken. ah well.

Melissa, the book was AMAZING. I've read it three times now. I know that sounds strangely obsessive (ha. yeah.) and kind of creepy but I have to say the stories you tell in Harry a History never get old. Nice job.

Great mash-up, Melissa! You are, most likely, ridiculously busy right now, so it really means a lot that you take some time aside to focus on us crazy fans. And once again, great book.

omg this is amazing! sadly i missed the first vlog challenge but i am totally up for all of the future ones :)
