Re: Harry Potter
If this was a 'special moment' for the sellers daughter, why have they put it on eBay?

Re: Harry Potter
Anyone else finished it yet?? A couple of my friends were reading it in the pub this afternoon (as you do!!) and it was killing me knowing what happens and not being allowed to tell them anything!

Re: Harry Potter
Its a pity nobody let me know they wanted a copy as they started to sell this book on the ferry on the way back from Belgium at 1am for £5 (out at sea no tax) they had 20 copy's 1 they gave as a raffle prize and when we docked they still had 16 left.

Re: Harry Potter
I didn't dare open this thread before now just in case there was a spoiler in it.
I've just finished it - it's fab. Had to take a break in the middle of it to take Maddie to see the film though so things got a bit confusing, lol.
My friend got her copy yesterday morning and read the last chapter first. Because I was working all day yesterday I didn't get to open my copy until later yesterday evening but I did have to spend most of the day avoiding my friend as she was working too.

Re: Harry Potter
Picked it up from asda (queued for 35 mins I was close to the end of the checkouts when they announced 3 mins to go, the look on peoples faces as they followed queue and found it had doubled back all the way to aisle 17), as I got to front the staff were saying that they had 3 pallets of 1000 books each, they had sold about 850 by 12:30.
Quite a difference to last year when I walked into asda at 12 on the release day and just picked up a copy and paid at till (in & out 2 mins).
My son spent all day Saturday reading it, finished last few chapters Sunday morning (i took it off him late sat night otherwise he'd have still been reading it when he should have been sleeping).
He said it was the best of the seven, and is dying to tell me details, I keep having to tell him to shutup and wait till I've read it.
