| | |  Finnish 'Half-Blood Prince' Released Today
The Finnish-language edition of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' was released this morning. Readers camped out overnight to be the first to get the book and a free T-shirt. Quote:
According to Publishers Tammi, the total number of the copies in the first edition was 140,000, which are all currently being sold in bookstores across Finland. While around 30 bookstores in various parts of the country hurried to sell the book for a couple of hours already around midnight, about 100 stores opened their doors today just before 9.00 a.m.

I don't think it's fair that other countries have to wait so long for their copy, why couldn't they allcome out at the same time.
To all you Fins enjoy the book it was worth the wait I guarantee it.  | |

And so all the spanish people had to wait that long too, a few days ago was release the book in spanish also.
But I think is to feel such a worry, the problem is to know the date of english release. If not, who cares, we´re happy when we see the book in our language

I wouldn´t feel sorry for people whose translator does a proper job. More I would feel sorry for people who get the book in their own language the very next week with all errors and mistakes and such 
They might feel sorry for people who can read the book only in english, and haven´t got anything to wait for for two long years  Well, except the movies, but ... One more party, I´d say! There´s not any new Potter-movie out at the moment, is there?
