Are you serious that you had to pre-order the book? :eek:
I thought it was just a general release?

Oh dear I am going to be in trouble as the plan was tonight to go and see the film (tickets booked) which will finish at 11.30 and then nip over to Borders and pick up the book.

Crap - I suppose it is far too late to pre-order it now??

[Deleted User] · 20/07/07 - 17:06

Need to get as much sleep as possible, in order to read it all in one go, then start again!

What's the difference in price? I will try to pop along after work although as long as I can get the book I'll be a happy bunny (obviously the cheaper the better of course!)

[Deleted User] · 20/07/07 - 17:27

Ill be at the waterstones in liverpool awaiting the book, cant wait, dont want it to ever end lol, sounds pathetic really

[Deleted User] · 20/07/07 - 17:31

I will be asleep, was thinking last year about going at 12am but just did not, ordered my amazon copy and will be huddled in bed when all others will prob be in the cold night :-) Hope it does not rain for you all!

Me, my 2 daughters and my neice won tickets to go to London to meet JK Rowling in the Natural History Museum tonight at 3am! I am now in an internet cafe at Earls Court telling you this.

My daughter who is an uber Potter fan has gone quiet with shock as she loves these books so much! :eek:

digiperson · 20/07/07 - 19:38

lala · 20/07/07 - 20:24

Can we make this thread into a HP launch party thread..... I need some like minded people to talk to until the launch tonight. Lol

I'm sad I know

[Deleted User] · 20/07/07 - 20:49

lala that's not sad at all! Infact i was hoping that this thread could be something like that. Im not even a huge HP fan but even im excited about tonight lol

Will there be a special show on TV about the release of the book like there was in 2005 were ITV screened JKR Reading a chapter of book 6 on its midnight release?

[Deleted User] · 20/07/07 - 20:50

btw if you press red on BBC 1 there is (or atleast there was today at 5:00pm) a programme were JKR is answering some kiddies questions - thought you might be interested

[Deleted User] · 20/07/07 - 20:59

I wanted to go to a shop at midnight and buy it just to enjoy the atmosphere but unfortunately I was unable to do it.

Tomorrow I will get one for £5 at ASDA, but I am paranoid that they will be sold out

tvqueen1905 · 20/07/07 - 21:01

why were you unable to?

rivercity_rules · 20/07/07 - 21:03

Going to the 24hr Asda (was meant to be the Tesco Extra until I read you had to spend £50 to get the book for a fiver) about half 11 to get my book for a fiver.
Then home and read about half of it methinks.
Can't wait although I can't quite remember Half Blood Prince lol Only read it twice when it was released and gave my pal a shot a few weeks ago. Don't care though, I hate waiting.

Can't believe Borders are making pre-orders there are always hundreds left in the bookshops come 5 o clock tomorrow, plus Supermarkets are selling it for less than a third of what Borders are charging and most definetely will have hundreds of them

AuntiePink · 20/07/07 - 21:04

I'm taking the kids to an event, starts at 10.30 for a midnight opening and they're laying on entertainment and quizzes while we wait. It's in a mall so nice and dry!

I've always had them delivered before but as this is the last one I thought I'd treat the kids to the whole atmosphere.

Oh ok, it's just an excuse to dress up as Tonks really!

digiperson · 20/07/07 - 21:04

ZOMG less than three hours to go!
