I think I may reserve my copy VERY soon!
Can't wait, I bet it's going to be brilliant. May have to avoid the site whilst reading it though, I'm not a fast reader and don't want to know what happens before I've read it myself!

I'll get my copy from Asda again. It was cheap and I got it at midnight when it was released, so I did not have to wait for the postman to deliver it.

I’m personally calling my local B&N when it opens to reserve a copy, maybe I’ll let them know the release date in case they don’t know already. Now I wish I were going back to bed instead of work – so much news, so little time.
By the way, HPANA will probably be closed that weekend so that comments are not posted to spoil it for others & for us to read it as well ;).

No way am I preordering. I'm afraid it'll get lost in the mail or something. Plus, it is to much fun going to a book store at midnight and being among the first to have a copy.

Sorry for the double post. But I just checked out amazon and their already at the max number of orders for HBP. So I guess I'm going to have to wait or else go to the book store.

Oh HPANA will be closed that weekend? Thank god! I was worried about that. I dont want to be on the site at all until I am finished reading the book!

That's cool. However, I live by so many stores that I don't think I need to reserve a copy. I might change my mind though, it's always a nice option to have.

Very good. The best price last time was COSTCO in the states. It was well over 50% off. The only drawback is that you have to wait for the store to open at a normal time, since they do not throw midnight parties.

As if I could even be patient enough to order the book online! I need to hold the copy in my hands at Midnight on July 16, 2005 in order to feel any sort of comfort. Plus, I'd miss out on the midnight parties that I'm certain will be lots of fun (they were the last several times)
Again - this is the best Christmas gift - EVER. So happy.

I probably won't pre order mine on line again. I didn't get OotP until 10:00am from Amazon! I'll probably reserve a copy at Borders. Only 207 more days!!!!
