Harry Potter 7!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows
I'm getting excited! June 21! I have had mine preordered since January  I'm so very, very happy. Anyways what's with the global news JK Rowling is like "don't read the end, I urge you not to read the end until you finish the whole book." She's just asking for people to immediately finger the back pages quickly to see how the HP universe ends. Well, when this thread dies soon I'll resurrect it when the book is about to be released

I haven't preordered for the first time since Prisoner of Azkaban (my local bookshop put that to one side for me because the hype was beginning to gather momentum). I thought I'd be in London by June, so no point in ordering a copy in Leicester. However the way things are going I'll still be here - might pop into town and place an order this weekend.
Even if someone revealed the end to me, it wouldn't spoil the book. After all it's the journey, not a quick denouement that I read for. Looking forward to it though. I'm hoping for a twist, where it turns out Dumbledore was right about Snape, and Snape was - with great pain and difficulty - only following Dumbledore's own express orders to kill him under certain circumstances. What? I like Snape - he represents all the "evil" teachers and parents that you realise weren't all that bad when viewed in hindsight. It would be a shame if the know-it-all kids were right about him all along.

I'm pro-Snape too. I've been saying it since I finished Half-Blood Prince.
(I also think Sirius can come back from the dimensional rift he fell into in OOTP). That being said, I've had my preorder in since amazon first started taking them.

Uh, June 21 or July 21?
Very pro-Snape? Wolf, there's some very very naughty -- and well drawn -- quite NSFW slash stuff on Destiny Interrupted. Repeat: NSFW.

The day it's released, I will stop at the local Pathmark supermarket, where there will be large stacks at about 2/3 the price.
It's worked every time.

At a supermarket?
Even more strange, why are selling it at discounted prices? The day it's released!? This is Harry Potter we're talkin bout! |

There's a special magic involved. It's called retail markup. Unless there is futher discounting prior to the release date, I'm getting my copy for about 1/2 price.

I think that technically, I had mine on Forks Saturday, I just didn't open the box until later. I met the Fedex Man at the door, IIRC.
