Harry Potter countdown: 1 day!

With one day left the excitement for The Deathly Hallows has hit an all time high for a book in the series. Tonight midnight release parties will usher in the final book. I will be attending the midnight release party at the Books-a-million in Tiger-town, here in Auburn, Al. I'll be snapping shots and bring you first hand news of all things Potter. Look for my posts in the early hours of the morning and than my review some time tomorrow afternoon!

Now today's item is a controversial review that was post on NYtimes.com A staff writer got her hands on the book early and wrote a review that than ran in the paper. Stores were not supposed to sale the book early but many have. I in fact could have picked up a book yesterday from a local store after asking to get shots of the boxes. The clerk told me that he would gladly sell me to book. Of course I said no.

Here is the link to the NY Times review. Have fun at the release parties tonight and Happy Reading!

Actual Picture of Leaked Deathly Hallows

I found this picture of the book online, don't worry no spoilers just the first page.  I guess this proves that the people who leaked the book on bit torrent actually had the real copy.  I am sure that Scholastic will bring legal action to those involved.  This could prove to be the most expensive picture that person or persons have ever taken.  Please do not download this book from bit torrent seeing as it would ruin the excitement of the release. 

Harry Potter countdown: 2 days

Harry Potter Boxes, originally uploaded by bamshackles.

With all the hype surrounding the seventh book I figured it would be cool to get a few shots before it was released. After alittle detective work I found where the books were hidden. Sadly they were in there boxes safely sealed. Still I took a few pictures that should help increase the excitment. This is as close as your going to get to book seven legally. Enjoy!

Harry Potter Countdown: Day 3

With only three days left until Harry Potter hits stores for the last time reports have been issued that one of the books sellers has sent out advance copies early.  This was a big no no with he publishers and now legal action may be taken.  Here is the link to the story.

 

Also MSNBC.com had a great article about Professor Snape and his true motives.  If you have a second have a read because I found the story well written.  It brought to light a few issues with Snape I have yet to think of.  Here is the link.

 

We only have three more days!

Deathly Hallows called 'greenest book' in history

When you thin of the millions of Harry Potter books sold each year you don't stop to think about all the trees that must be cut down to provide the papper for these books. With the release of "The Deathly Hallows" Scholastic Inc is changing all of that...

Harry Potter countdown: 4 days

In four days we will have Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in our
hands. Sadly there are those who can't wait to spoil the fun we are
having.

Today on digg.com it was revieled that someone had leaked the
entire book onto bittorrent. When downloaded you get a photocopied
version of every page.

This is very sad and I hope that it does not spoil the ending for
those of us who are patient. All I will say is that this person will
not ruin my fun. I will wait four more days and enjoy HP 7 the legal
way!
