That's happening in Marquette, in the UP. I wish it was closer 🙁.

I haven't preordered it, I'm going to wait in line at the Meijer down the road with a few friends. That's what I've done for all the previous books. It's tradition!

Most of them are already in bed since it's past their bed time.

Plenty of older people read Harry Potter, too. :roll:

Negative. YOu don't preorder. A true fan shows up to Barnes & Noble like me and lines up for the party at midnight.

I'm serious.

I've done it for Books 5 & 6.

Call me a dork.

I remember sneaking Book 6 to work to read =)

True, midnight launch FTW. The best part is there's usually always plenty of books to go around unlike launches such as the Wii 😛 So there really is no need to preorder

LoL yup. They're fun too. I mean I'm not a Harry Potter dork or anything, so I'm usually just there with a group of friends enjoying their coffee and reading some car magazines. Or maybe we walk around the mall that the BN is in.

Hey, but if you're truly a fan, there's events like "Pictures with Hermione". I remember my friend and I were thinking how some hot girl would be there dressed up as Hermione, but apparently it's just a cardboard standup >.<

Make sure you get there EARLY so you get a number in line. Then you can go do whatever. The first time I showed up 2.5 hours before the release and somehow I got out in 30 minutes.

I don't know what happened the second time, but I got there at 5:30pm and it still took an hour and a half for us to get our books.

That said, you could just wait till the next morning and get the book for cheaper at Costco, but what kinda fan does that right? =P

And yea, there's plenty of books. No matter how late you show up, you'll get a book. It's not like they'll run out.

Plus, the freebies are nice. I got a bracelet, Harry Potter glasses and a poster last time =]

yes b/c its just as hard to print/bind a book as it is to make a wii 😛.

But i preorder since its cheap at amazon.com: 17.99 and they guarantee delivery on the 21st or its free
 
No need to preorder - these books are everywhere.

If you have any selfcontrol at all, which I don't, just wait a week or two and the folks that waited in line will have already finished the thing and you can borrow the book and read it for free.
 
haven't pr-ordered but will be getting the book. i really enjoyed the others.
i originally put off reading them for years because of all the stupid BS people were saying about how its for kids and stuff, but i read the 1st 6 back around January and loved them.
