| | |  Royal Mail is on the ready
Britain’s Royal Mail is planning to rent hundreds of extra trucks and possibly hire more staff in preparation for the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This is due to the number of preorders already in for Deathly Hallows as well as their experience two years ago when more than half a million copies of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were delivered to one in 50 British homes by the service’s postal workers. Quote:
We’re already planning for the launch,” Royal Mail spokesman James Eadie said Thursday. “We’re talking to retailers about what volumes they expect, and what they expect from us, so that we can put the logistics in place to deliver on the date of issue.
Deathly Hallows is currently listed as the No. 1 book on Amazon.co.uk.

And thanks to SSer Luke for spotting this nifty little reservation poster from Borders bookstore for Deathly Hallows. | |

Ever since the announcement that this would be the last book, it has been the most anticipated. It should set records. I hope the distribution system throughout the world will be ready.

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

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. | |

The release of Book 7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is a VERY big deal. Think about the amount of books that must be printed as well as the craziness with deliveries! | |
