They are really pushing this
thing ... Rowling has been all over the news "crying" about what she wrote. Like they really need to advertise this plot turn to sell more books ... or is it to prepare readers (or parents) ... hmmm.

Someone told me that a New York paper printed an excerpt of the book today, claiming they found it available at some store. Is this legit? I can't imagine the paper thinking they wouldn't get into trouble ....

Anyone see the funny story on CNN this morning about the book? They had some woman on there going on about how, since it was a 900 page book, even if it showed up on the Internet today, since it was so long it would take you until the release day to finish downloading it anyway.
Someone needs to explain to her how small a book data file is...

Well, in the run-up to midnight I think there is little more to be added except, perhaps, where to buy it locally so I am closing this one and will soon open the post-publication thread for people to continue the chat.
In the meantime, countdown with the news sites here!
