What is the Point of a Book Embargo IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW IT!
The Baltimore Sun was able to get a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE.
Information on the Baltimore Sun article. They don’t spoil the ending for you, though they do give more information than I was willing to risk reading. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
All the bookstores are getting HP7 before Saturday. But they had to sign release forms saying they would NOT put it out before Saturday July 21st, 12:01 am. That means that any online retailers ALSO cannot provide it to their customers until JULY 21st AT 12:01 AM!!!!! How hard is this???? EVERY single HP that had an embargo had this problem. (Remember the ENTIRE truck that was taken?)
I understand that problems happen, but seriously, this is HARRY POTTER. The last book that Harry will ever get by J.K. Rowling.
(Probably…
Q: Do you think that you will write about Harry after he graduates from Hogwarts? Isn’t there a University of Wizardry?
A: No, there’s no University for Wizards. At the moment I’m only planning to write seven Harry Potter books. I won’t say “never,” but I have no plans to write an eighth book.
Couldn’t we have stepped it up? Oh well. I am still eagerly awaiting HP7, and remember, even if you are spoiled, it is the JOURNEY, not the DESTINATION that is important.
(Deluxe Cover… ooooooh)
