I'm sure there will be. I know there is a 5 and 6 book package I assume they will just add the seventh to it.

Well, I just checked and they are sending it UPS, although I specifically remember reading in there guarantee that it would be delivered with the days mail via USPS.

Does this change there guarantee agreement?

Does UPS usually not deliver on Saturday?

If its not here Saturday, im gonna raise hell.

I think exceptions are being made. Canada doesn't deliver anything on Saturdays and Sundays, but they're guaranteeing the book to be here on Sat.

I'll be riding down to Costco first thing on Friday and picking up the book and a container of granola, and I won't go to sleep until both are finished!

I'm surprised how many views the spoiler thread has. I can't wait for this!

If its the one with the pictures of the pages, I dont know how you can read that. The page curves around and I miss to many words to know whats going on.

Oh well. Not much longer.

I almost forgot that Mcgonagall was the new headmaster. I bet he does, but it would interesting if Harry didnt go back to school.

dammit, I accidentally read a small spoiler because some idiot on another forum decided to post it in the no spoilers thread. Thankfully I didn't continue to read it, but that really sucks. I don't think it is a huge spoiler and I am still hoping it is fake, but oh well, no more internet for me till I finish I think.

I really don't understand people who try to be a prick.

People have devoted the last few days to attacking harry potter sites and facebook and myspace groups just to ruin it.
