Harry Potter

Who's stoked for the upcoming release!

I WANT THIS BOOK SOOO BAD. I plan on just grabbing it, and then going to a secluded place, sitting down, and reading it from cover to cover (should take half a day, seeing as how this is the biggest HP book yet).

Reserved + Prepaid 2 months ago :smoke1:


Any other Harry Potter addicts in the house?!

You should.... who cares how rich she is? Her hard work and her imagination.... she deserves to get paid for it.

Its not that she needs the money... its the principle of the matter.

Well, in all seriousness,

I really don't feel that much for her.

Her losing some $$ is so insignificant in the big scheme of things. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over this that's for sure.

As for the principle, now that I think about it, it makes me feel sorry for human nature in general, not necessarily her.

To be honest, I was half expecting something like this to happen. And the way that book distributors around the world have been hiring extra security in the warehouses where the books are being stored makes me think they were expecting something like this too.

In fact, I'm a litte surprised it took this long, in this day and age...

She doesnt lose ANY money, the books were stolen from a ditributer wharehouse. She got payed a long time ago for the books, if anything the stolen books will be sold in blackmarket. Only people who lose money is the company who bought all those copies and they are definately insured out the ass so really nobody really loses that much money. And for all we know the robbery could have b een staged to creat more hype for the books cause I mean cmon who the fuck steals a truck load of books. Before you know it they will have loomis armoured trucks delivering books to stores.

Except it's only supposed to come out tomorrow (although I think Chapters is gonna open @ 12am to accomodate sales).

Also, and I don't know if this is the case with your local bookstore, but where I reserved my book, if you didn't reserve a copy a while back, you're pretty much screwed.

1 more day!!!! whut!


edit : spelling

^It better not be Ron.... that'll blow. Then again it'll kinda suck if any of the main characters die so I guess you just gotta deal with it.... I say it's Dumbledore... he's old anyways.
