By the way, I love your signature. Emmett is my third favorite after Alice and Jasper.

I got mine today And I also got 2 copies for my cousin and friend for Christmas. It's no wonder it's the fastest selling book... especially as we Harry Potter fans are starved for more!

Again, I'm not surprised. It seems that anything that JK puts out there will be a best seller. I would like a collection edition. Can someone send me one? Pleeeease?

Seriously, here and Mugglenet, what is with all this "TAKE THAT TWILIGHT!" stuff?
It's not a competition, chill.
This news actually really surprises me. I had no idea people would actually want this book so badly.

Wow!!! I spose this is because everyone is so hungry for more Potter. This may be as close to another book as we'll ever get! It was a great book though, I'm not at all surprised it's selling so well.
