Wow. Who says that HBP won't do better than OotP? Some people must be taking good drugs to have said that. LOL 700,000 is a LOT of pre-orders!

Wow!
Think about it: It's only Amazon that has announced this! Barnes & Noble and loads of other places have had pre-orders as well! And this is only through their website! Hundreds of people pre-order it at the book store! And this is only as of March 31! They've had a bunch more pre-orders by now! Wow!!

Well, the Candian and British publishers are using recycled paper, even if Scholastic aren't.

oh i really want to preorder one.. and jkr deserves this! really! good job! all that is left for us fans is to keep the book where it is, and where it deserves! #1, that is!
p.s. and this is just amazon.com! what about the other sites and bookstores who took preorders, and the bookstores who'll sell them when its out! and the translated ones around the world! wicked!!

LoL! Emma, I think they meant pre-ordering at the bookstores, not an Amazon bookstore. Anyway, if that's just Amazon, I wonder what the total will be by July 16th? At this rate, it might even beat GoF on the pre-orders.

I just re-read that National Geographic article, and GoF apparently had over 5 million pre-orders from around the globe! Wonder how HBP will compare?
