That's really cool!

Wish there was a Borders & Watersone's in Denmark!

Cool! I wish they had that shops here..

Why are no stores in NY doing this?!?! =*( My birthday is december 3rd, how cool would that be?

:hermy2: makes me feel so excited all over again even if it's not ever for another harry potter book.

I'm hoping I will be able to go to my local Border's, but because it's being released on a weekday there's a chance I won't be able to attend the party. Either way, I will get the book. :hermy2:

Bah... why are they only doing it in London then? lol that's term time, I can't go there with 3 weeks left to term! If only it was 3 weeks later... I'd be around then... :(

But I am still so glad that they're selling BTB!

I do not understend-What is the difference between the collectio and standard edition??????? Please explain my it!!! I want to know!!!

Is Borders owned by Barnes & Noble? I think I'll wait until it's out and I can just go to a bookstore and get it myself. Thank you.... or order it at Amazon.

OMG! Theres three Waterstones' near me and they're all doing it!! I'll have to choose which one I'm going to :)

YES!!!! That means their going to have some in the US as well! WOOHOO!

I can't find anything for Southampton. :( *Sigh*

Oooh I can't wait!!:D:D

And as usual, they never hold any sort of event here... :(

Oh yeah well I was really depressed since I had gone to a Borders like a month ago and the guy at the desk said flat out no when I asked him if they were gonna have a party:cry:....but then this weekend I went to a different one and they said they would most likely have one since they were getting so many reservations:woot:

It Would be a Miracle If A Borders Around Here Does One!

That's great!

*crosses fingers that they'll do a party thing in her town too*

Oh wow I should ask my local Borders. It will help to know that other stores are doing it, so mine shold!

Borders should do this here in the States, as well!

Lucky, there's nothing where i am.

i hope borders in the usa will do the same thing.

It's times like this that I really wish I lived in the UK

that sounds like fun!

Nothing in Cardiff either :( I asked a couple months ago, I swear the guy in Waterstone\'s thought I was crazy. I\'m very tempted to go back and point out how many shops in England, Ireland and Scotland are doing them.
There was talk of that but I don\'t think they are, currently.

The casing, mostly. If you follow the Amazon links you can look/read for yourself.

IDK :(

All you guys that get to go, have fun!
