| | |  Amazon receives 2 million pre-orders
On April 8th, we announced that Amazon had reached 1 million pre-orders for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, the number has doubled to over 2 million! And with 4 days to go before the release of the novel, it has beaten previous record-holder Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for which Amazon had received 1.5 million pre-orders.
Source: Amazon.co.uk
Note: These numbers include books sold at all Amazon locations worldwide. Take a look at the Muggle counter in the right column. It shows the current up-to-the-minute amount of total books sold.
It currently reads: 2,099,875 | |

__________________ 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. | |

WHY???
Just in case the " why" was an actual question, you might have gotten the free super saver shipping. I know mine is marked to come on those dates too, but 2 years ago for HBP I got the same free shipping and the same email... and it came the day it was released.
So yeah... I wouldn't worry too much yet, Amazon's always been really dependable for me.

If it's not here by 7 pm on Friday (which it probably won't) then I'm gonna take the kids to the midnight bash and get one then. I've never attended a midnight bash and seeing as how this is the last one I better go. :-)
I just hope that the books do arrive, like you said. I've been quite disappointed all day. There's no way I can go a week. There will be spoilers everywhere and JKR doing that talk show. Nope no way...

WOW! I preordered from Barnes and Noble as well so I'd be able to get it first at the midnight party {I must be crazy, lol ... this is my first and ONLY midnight book party}, and I'm sure their numbers are high as well! | |
