Do you know how hard it is for me not to ask my firend for a copy of the cover?  But I don't want to get her in trouble.  Ater all, she only worked there for a couple months now.

I have pre-ordered mine now, at my local Collins bookstore...the guy said to me, "its released at 9:01am but I would wait a couple of hours cause there will be a mad rush with all those kids" and I said "mate i will be here before anyone else arrives" he laughed at me, I really think he thought I was joking, but I wasnt of course 

I also have to read in total silence. Im going to get my copy from Big W as rumor is they're going to have it for around $24.00AU hardback. And they open at 8:30am so i can go down nice and early, get my copy and start reading as soon as Im home.

Im sure big w will have it for cheaper but they wont release it before the release time, also you cant really guarantee that they will have a copy if u dont pre-order so thats why I went for the bookstore instead. I worked at bigw for two years and even though I know they will be cheaper, I know that you cant guarantee yourself a copy so thats why I didnt go with them. They will have the boxes out the back and will only bring them out at 9am, they wont have them on display at 8:30, you will be waiting in the line and they will just be handing them out from the box at 9.

Thanks for the info Trey. Looks like I may have to order from Dymocks anyway as I found out I have to work on that Saturday the book is released so if I pre order my copy at least I can go and pick it up in the shopping complex when I finish in the afternoon and not have to worry about whether or not I'll get one even if it is for the sake of saving a measly $5.00.

yea good idea cause if you left it until the afternoon, who knows, you would have even less of a chance 

Well im really looking forward to the release  cant wait!!!!

Yep only 19 days to go according to my counter from Mugglenet. I cant wait for the release either. Id better get cracking on reading OotP again as I just finished the previous 4 and to be honest I cant remember all that much from Order. Ive only ever read it once and the others twice in total. Got 19 days to read it in..gonna be a challenge.

I'll be reading mine at home!
All three of us have now read the books and all three of want copies of HBP ... nothing will get done round the house (like it does now anyway!) and we might remember to eat, drink and take potty breaks, but I predict three people in three different rooms quietly reading .... sounds brill to me!!
