Summary:
Brazilian edition for OoTP went on sale before the official launch day - Saturday, nov.28th.

Article:

It was a surprise for Harry Potter fans in Brazil. We all were expecting to read the brazilian translation for HP and the Order of the Phoenix only this saturday 29th, at 10 am.

But a mistake messed all up. The book started to be show in bookstores all over the country three days before it was planned. Rocco Publishing, who owns Harry Potter rights in Brazil, says it was a distribution (sp?? I know I'm wrong!) mistake.

"Harry Potter e a Ordem da Fênix" (portuguese title for OoTP) is expected to break records in Brazil as well. Its first print run ran to 300,000 copies, a record in a poor country without a huge number of regular readers.

HP first four books have already sold more near 2 million copies.

I just bought my book. I'll start reading now!

(sorry for my grammar mistakes. English isn't my first language, plus, I'm too excited about the book)

Hey, I'm from Brazil! I'm so happy people here will be able to finally read it and have as much fun as I did!!! I'll definately read it in Portuguese, it'll be fun to compare the expressions and everything!!!

It was so confusing all of a sudden the books began selling in the bookstores and everyone was scheduled to meet on Saturday!

Well, I'm happy for my country and that everyone will be able to read A Ordem do Fênix... For those who have been here know that it's the BEST place to be in!!! And those who don't know Brazil, should, because its one of the most beautiful places on Earth!!!

And it's the country of samba and futebol..
