| | |  500,000 Deathly Hallows pre-orders at Barnes & Noble
Barnes and Noble have today announced, with 100 days to go until the books release, that they have a record-breaking 500,000 pre-orders for Deathly Hallows. They expect this number to swell to over a million by the time July comes around. Book 7 has been at the top spot on their website since it became available for pre-order at the beginning of February, this year. | |

Wow, that's alot. I preordered at Titles though, but wow! Good job, I can tell it's going to be an awesome book by the numbers alone. I hope I'm not disapointed.

Dude...and that's only ONE store! Can you imagine if they tallied up ALL the pre-orders of every single copy of the book all around the world?! It's got to be about 3 million by now...or MORE! My statistics has always been bad, lol. I reserved mine at a corner bookstore near my house, so I'll be waiting outside | |
