SonicDragon Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 The new Harry Potter was released last night. Anyone have it? I wonder if there are any left at the local book store.... that is, if Winona didn't get there first (j/k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 The new Harry Potter was released last night.Gee, why haven't I heard about this before? What was he incarcerated for? OK, sorry...bad joke. None of our local bookstores have any left...and the initial print run was over 8 million! At least kids are still reading books. Good for J.K.R.

Jeber Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Adult oriented side note:NPR reported last night that the "Harry Potter Vibrating Broomstick" was being removed from stores due to certain people finding an alternate, x-rated use for it! Gotta love human ingenuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicDragon Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 Does that mean they are going to take away the Harry Potter love potion too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Potions #1-8 are available, but #9 had to be withdrawn due to copyright violations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Yeah, but what about 10-42 ... 42 was always my favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acadia Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Anyone have it? (j/k)YES!! We ordered it from Amazon.com a couple of months ago and it arrived this morning at 9:00. Since my wife is the faster reader we agreed that she could have it first. She says, "It starts off with a bang right from the beginnning".

havnblast Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 I'll pick my copy up at the store after all the frenzy calms down a bit - kinda excited for it too, I have enjoyed them all so far and I hardly ever read books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprized that he got it that day! What service!and the initial print run was over 8 million!I believe that sets a world record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbredmound Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Who's Harry Potter?Oh yeah, I remember...he was the Capt. on MASH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicDragon Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 No no no.That was Sherman Potter, no relation! Harry potter is Clinger's gypsy cousin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 My wonderful girlfriend already finished the book... she said she had to have it done over the weekend or else she'd never get any work done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I believe that sets a world recordSo I've heard. J.K.R. also set another record...over $5 million earned from just the first day sales. The "supporter of good writers" in me is very pleased for her, while the "writer with no hopes of ever being even one-one hundreth as successful" in me is intensely jealous.

Guest LilBambi Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Ryan --LOL! That's funny about your girlfriend saying that ... believe me ... Been there, done that myself!Jeber --Ditto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I was afraid to look in this thread before now for fear of learning something before reading it myself. Don't know why I am feeling so brave tonight. Must be something in my tea. I don't have the book yet. I ordered it but was too cheap to pay shipping. It is scheduled to be on my doorstep Friday. Do you think you will see me on the forum this weekend? Probably by Sunday. :blink:If it has just 100 kids reading more then that is cause to celebrate.

Guest LilBambi Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 You got that right! Personally though, I'd like the digital audio format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
