The Finnish-language edition of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' was released this morning. Readers camped out overnight to be the first to get the book and a free T-shirt. Quote:
According to Publishers Tammi, the total number of the copies in the first edition was 140,000, which are all currently being sold in bookstores across Finland. While around 30 bookstores in various parts of the country hurried to sell the book for a couple of hours already around midnight, about 100 stores opened their doors today just before 9.00 a.m.

The poor Finnish had to wait so long for the release. But at least it gives them a reason to celebrate when we don't have one.

wow, i can't imagine having to wait so long just to read it in your own language! The least they could do was give you all free t-shirts! I'm really sorry it took this long to have it in Finnish, you deserve more than a t-shirt for your patience!

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
