We have been receiving numerous emails letting us know that Borders book stores in Indiana and New York are now accepting reservations for the last Harry Potter book, even though no information has been announced in reference to the title or a release date.
From an email:
Here in Bloomington, Indiana, at the Borders Book Store at 2634 E. 3rd St, they are accepting reservations for Book 7. I was there for other business yesterday and was surprised to see the reservations sign at the information desk. When I asked about it, the manager said they couldn't take reservations yet because they didn't have a release date. I pointed out the sign to him, which he was surprised to see out. One of the other managers had written a note on the back that they were starting to take reservations, even though the release date hadn't been made public. They had also written a number (an SKU?), which he entered, and sure enough - put my name on the list. I don't know if this is happening nationwide, but the reservation process has at least started here.
Thanks to everyone who emailed and we will update with any additional information we find out.
On another note, a very interesting read can be found here
in which predictions are made on the last book in the series.

Hmmm...this seems a bit sketchty...I don't think book stores would advertise reservations without notifying the publisher first.
This whole thing seems highly unlikely, especially illegal.

This is crazy. It is going to be Potter mania when we actually do know when the FINAL book will be released! I'm going to go to the midnight book release anyway so I will not be getting it at Borders.

Wow, Borders is really jumping the gun on that one. I understand being excited to get the book, but I find it odd that people are reserving copies before the title has even been released.

Wow...they really are getting a head start on the whole process aren't they? No finished book...no release date...no finished book...seems a bit ridiculous if you ask me. Exciting, yet still very ridiculous.

I wonder if that means we are getting closer to the release date? That's kind of strange that they are taking reservations before the title is even out.

That's ridiculous! Though it must mean the book will be out soon. But will it be before or after the release date of the movie??
Cheers.

While I am terribly anxious for this book I am also very sad about the thought of this being the end.
