Do you have any idea how pissed people would be if they couldn't pre-order it and have it arrive on the day? The shipping companies would never hear the end of it.....

Really? I am going to pre-order mine from Borders. From what many posters & friends have told me, I will get it that day which is definitely a plus.

I pre-ordered books 5 and 6, and it worked out wonderfully. I plan to pre-order book 7 as well.

Thanks for posting the link to the Minerva Theory, BDE! That was such a great read!

Doesn't it just mess with your mind though? I usually reread before the next book comes out so I'm going to be keeping an eye out for that.

JKR has said that her fans have come up with better ideas than she did, this could be an example, but either way I can't wait!

For those of you who pre-ordered the book. When exactly did it arrive - since the book release is at midnight. Did you get it the day it was released at midnight? Or the next day?

The artwork for Canada's version of Book #7 was just released today by Raincoast Books.
Kid's cover above.
Adult cover below. (I personally am digging that Slytherin pendant....)



And the American cover from Scholastic is here (sorry...I couldn't find a better pic)
