Posted July 18, 2007 Crap I read the spoilers =[ Dam you triforcemario! You've ruined the harry potter books for me =[ I still need to pre-order. Is it going to be impossible to buy a book on the day its released in like Woolworths? I've never pre-ordered, and never had any probelms getting the book on launch date. Shops will have plenty of stock in the back Most people will be buying from Tesco's or ASDA, as Saturday is grocery day for many family's, thus Woolworths, WHsmiths etc should have plenty of stock left.

Also 2 of my friends know spoilers due to bulletins on myspace.Sucks to be them. i wouldn't recommend reading them over that short of time frame, i could only read them at night and for 3 or so hours at a time, it completely changed my sleeping pattern and i keep getting only 6 hours sleep or so a night and waking up late :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 19, 2007 im so excited by this ive re read all the books over the past 2 weeks (the last 2 twice) Wow. I was thinking of doing that, but I'm not that big a fan I did re-read Half Blood Prince however. Thought it was utter shit 2 years ago, but after re-reading it, I enjoyed it a lot more. Made my plans for launch Going to Tesco's with a friend at midnight tomorrow night. I am very hyped now, as we have both been discussing our theories for book 7 over the afternoon. EDIT: Apparently ASDA will be selling the book for £5. Poor Amazon customers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2007 Apparently most stores are going down to like £8.99. Gutted to the people who still have to pay like £17.99 That greedy bitch (Rowling).. what book is worth £17.99 O.o Thats way too much! Well worth £8.99 though Not too hyped to read it tbh.

Posted July 19, 2007 I think for launch you had to order it by the 17th... Maybe you'll get lucky.Been processed/sent yet? Delivery estimate 26th july - 1st august. EDIT: Apparently ASDA will be selling the book for £5. Poor Amazon customers... Yeah that's not right. They're selling it for half price otherwise Bloomsbury (?) just wouldnt give it to them. They were holding back giving it to them in the first place because they wanted to sell it half price. If it's cheaper than £8 or so then I think I'll cancel amazon. Holy crap you're right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2007 I'VE TOUCHED THE BOOK I'VE TOUCHED THE BOOK!! Ok, I've calmed down. We got the books in work today, it was rather good walking in to see a shitload of Harry Potter books on a pallet. But yeah, I was allowed to look at the book as long as I didn't open it. Those mean bastards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 20, 2007 My mom is oddly up for waiting at Asda till midnight when she and her friend will go in and buy the book. My moms friend wants the book for herself despite having 3 children, my mom is of course getting me my copy especially as Asda are selling it for £5. So this evening, i shall be reading the first few chapters before crying myself to sleep knowing that i hold the end of a fantastic series in my hands.
