| | |  Over 100,000 Deathly Hallows pre-orders at Waterstone's
Waterstone's has today said, with 99 days to go until the books release, that they have had "phenomenal" interest in Deathly Hallows. They wouldn't given an exact figure but have said that the number is higher than their previous record of 100,000 for Half-Blood Prince. The books store also said they plan to have almost all their stores open at midnight on July 20th/21st.
So far, Amazon have obtained 485,000 pre-orders with Amazon.co.uk expected to have reached a similar figure. Quote:
"At one stage, pre-orders for the seventh Harry Potter book were outstripping the rest of the top 20 bestsellers combined by a ratio of five to one," said a spokesman for Amazon UK.
Quote:
"This time, people really want to find out the ending and learn who lives and who dies. They don't want that to be spoiled by hearing it via the media or from their friends," the Waterstone's spokesman said.
Tesco, who have the book available for the cheapest at £8.77 ($17.42), have also said they expect Potter-mania on a scale not seen before". Quote:
"We are predicting over 350,000 copies will be sold in the first 12 hours alone and we've got a dedicated team working to make sure fans can get the book on the stroke of midnight in over 300 of our stores," said a Tesco spokesperson.

My brother said he's going to get his book at midnight. And my mom said that I'm getting mine from Tesco's because it's the cheapest

__________________ 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. | |

Well, I'll be there at midnight, getting my copy. Will not sleep until I've finished it (try not to drink to minimise toilet breaks). I've got it all planned out. Even managed to book the Saturday off work especially
I know, how sad am I?!? But I love it. | |
