| | |  Italian HBP Release to Fall on Traditional Holiday
The Italian edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will go on sale on Thursday, January 5th at midnight. This is just in time for a traditional Italian holiday that takes place on January 6th. La Befana or "the giver of gifts" will visit the children of Italy and leave candy for the good and coal for the bad. Quote:
So when kids wake up on the morning of January 6 and scramble to see what the magical, white-haired 'Befana' has brought them, some will no doubt be hoping to find the book.
Quote:
The Italian publisher, Salani, has organised a lavish evening promotion in a major Rome bookstore to usher in the release of the latest volume. Young fans will be entertained with games and magic as they wait the last two hours before the book officially goes on sale at midnight, at which point cash tills will presumably start ringing merrily.
The entire article may be read here.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
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. | |

How come they had to wait that long! I think if I were them I'd buy the English version and be done with it!
