Oh, damn, you got spoiled. Thank Goodness that German newspapers don't care about OotP at all. I'm getting the British Adult Version ('cause I think the cover is pretty) hopefully on the 21st (odds are good) - but I can't read it until the 24th, since I'm not allowed to read it until I pass my oral exam (I've been threatened with having it taken away until much later if I come home with a bad grade)

I have tried so hard to avoid the spoilers, except for those Rowling wanted us to know (from chats and the Bloomsbury teaser) I'm blissfully unaware of any other and I'm trying hard to stay that way.

As for the meaning of your lj name: In a strange way they all seem to mae a little bit of sense - at least my four do (and no, I find it not in the least alarming that I can discern four personalities in my head ;)

Also, gorgeous cover for gorgeous fic. Believe me, you deserve it.
