Reservations for book 7 being taken at Borders book stores

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.

Oh also another reason why harrys a horcrux is he takes the most prized moments in his life and makes them into horcruxes nobody ever survived the killing curse including harry, he never even attempted it on him he turned harry into a horcrux and with each horcrux he made he got less and less human then his seventh (possibly eigth) horcrux he just lost being a human altogether, and when he killed harry's parents... a prized moment in his life he decided to make the kid he didn't think would overthrow him a horcrux I think he thought it would be Neville who over threw his evil empire, but needed insurance incase he was killed so he made the other boy a horcrux, and it resulted in him not being able to kill him, but harry made him look bad, he made a name for himself more famous than Lord Voldemort, so he got even angrier and put Neville aside until he could kill Harry which he tried to finish off in book 4 by killing the harder to catch Harry and then finishing off the one who was supposed to put an end to his empire, at the end of his story Ron, Harry, Hermione will have gotten rid of all of the horcruxs and harry and Voldemort will both use the killing curse at the same time and kill each other, ending the story with Harry no longer having his scar as he lay cold and dead on the ground.

Oh hey, I just read that monomyth thing, and it's so cool!!! We literally just learned about the monomyth process in English, and I was wondering when the heck I was ever gonna use it, and here we go!!! It wasn't nearly as in-depth, only 8 or so steps for us, but same thing!!! And we applied the monomyth to literature, and of course, I was trying to figure out how to apply it to Harry, but the way our teacher had us do it wouldn't have really worked out. Someone did bring him up though :) But this is so cool, I think I'll print it out and bring it in to my class!!! I really find that article interesting, the author's perception and predictions using the monomyth process, though I don't agree with him in some instances. Finally, something I've learned actually coming up in something besides school!!!

Wow, that's crazy. I think it's a little early for them to be taking reservations, they may be jumping the gun. We haven't even gotten a release date yet, and what if it doesn't come out this year?

WOW! Does the customer pay for it the moment they reserve the copy? If so, then these book stores may be doing poorly and trying to cash in on something to stay afloat. But Borders is a chain...it can't be doing too badly. Hmmmm. This is a really weird phenomenon.
Could anyone explain the logic behind this? I really don't get it. Not that I'm complaining! (Now I want to reserve one!)

Does this mean we can expect a release date soon? That page is very interesting but I think its obvious that Harry will fight Voldemort in the end.

To Horcrunks, how can Harry be a horcrux? Very interesting theory though, but i doubt its true.

I hate to be negative, but this just seems to be a Holiday marketing ploy by Borders - we don't even know a title yet or if Book 7 will be released in 2007. Seems like they are jumping the gun a little and getting the fans excited, when we still don't know when to expect the book.

Oh, wow- my stomach just flip-flopped because I'm so eager for book 7 to come out, but I'm slightly worried about what will happen. :)
I am definitely pre-ordering again because my HPBP came the day of the release- it was so incredibly nice!!!!
