I ordered it from Amazon the day before it's release and got it on the Wednesday after. I wasn't the affected be the wait as I was still reading Hannibal by Thomas Harris until the day before it arrived and as I only read my first HP in March of this year I've only had a three month wait as opposed to three years. Still read it in a day though, kinda wished I'd dragged it out now.

Gwared, you're burning up 'The Great Hall' section with posts! :razz: :D hehe I'll be interested to see what you have to post in the book 5 sections about the new book. I, like you, only started reading the Harry Potter books at the beginning of this year :o :eek: , so like you, I'll be adjusting to a much longer wait . . . here's hoping book #6 comes out in 2005, not 2006! :grin: By the way, did anyone else (besides those who have posted) go to a Harry Potter party at a local bookstore the night before the release? I did, and it was great fun! :D
