I know this isn't the STL forum, but if anyone is placing a preorder on Amazon, could they send me some STL love at:

Thanks!

A bit less hassle. Any better prices out there?

Well, I finally finished them all tonight...It took me a year to read books 1-3, and 2 weeks to read the last 2. Im totally hooked now, the only problem is now I have to wait until July. Oh well, I have my pre-orders in now so Im ready to go.

.... that said, my understanding is that Amazon's STL has since ceased:

Normally it wouldn't take 7 months from when a book is finished to when it is released.

From comingsoon.net ....
The most intriguing cover to me is the last one with the Advanced Potions spellbook. Perhaps I'm reading into this too much, but will there be extra conflict between Harry and Snape? Snape has stated that advanced potions is only for his top students (of which he definately doesn't see Harry), but Harry needs potions to become an auror, if he so desires.

I pre-ordered mine at Amazon.UK. Got the adult version (the one at the bottom of silentbob's last post). Should go nicely with the adult set I bought last year.

The last one was crazy too. My wife was working at Borders at the time, and I was there for the midnight release. It was pretty nuts. TONS of people there. It was a lot of fun.

I don't think I will do the midnight thing. Like last time, I will probably just pick up the book the next morning and start reading.
Can you imagine how crazy it will be when book 7 is released? For those who do not know, that is the last book in the Harry Potter series. There will probably be huge midnight parties. Booksellers will weep as they have their last huge HP boon.

I tried doing the midnight thing last time, but both Walmart and Barnes and Noble were absolutely swamped so I decided to head home, until I realized that Giant Eagle, our local supermarket chain also carries books. I walked in there at 11:50, walked out at 12:05 with the book. There were maybe 15 people tops waiting in the store for the book. No crowds and it was still 40% off.
