Thanks! Fixed.
Eric summed up my feelings about the release tonight perfectly- apprehensive but eager for confirmation, one way or another. I don’t feel excited for this play the way I did for the books. However, as I type this, I happen to be having coffee in the cafe at Barnes and Noble, watching as the decorations and booths begin to go up and I have to say- I’m trying very hard not to start ugly crying in public. My robes are in my backpack so that I can rush back as soon as I get off work and I can’t help but feel sheer joy at the prospect of once again attending an HP midnight release, even if the book itself disappoints.
Does this link https://www.patreon.com/mugglecast only work on a pc, tablet, or iPhone? I cannot get it to load on my droid device 🙁 I have been trying for over a week to support Mugglecast through patreon with no luck 🙁 Super sad bc I’m going to miss the deadline for a T-shirt now..
