So, who has ordered it? Which copy did you buy? Deluxe? Normal?

<font color="gold">There's several editions? What's the differences? Does the Deluxe one simply look fancier? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, OotP doesn't come to Norway before Christmas, I think, so it'll be a while until I read it. Unless I get my ass in gear and actually order an English copy somewhere. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

It's scheduled to arrive Saturday! Can't wait! I just got the normal hardback version.

<font color=skyblue>I have actually decided to wait and test my luck on finding it on the shelves. I know I will be called a fool...but I jsut did not want to preorder. I have the previous four in hard-back, and will also get this one in hardback...but I know nothing of what is called "deluxe".

Sadly enough, I will also be out of town on Saturday, with no book store anywhere around. (Mountain camping)...and when I return, I doubt I'll have the money until the 30th of the month to buy it. Poor me. I can't wait to read it though. </font>

I ordered the Deluxe Ed. (Yeah, it was costly) but I really like the extra art (being an Artist and all I guess) :D :D

I can't wait!

I preordered it on Amazon.com. If you preorder it there you will recieve it the day it comes out even if you select 3-7 day shipping. For those of you who don't know what Deluxe version is it just has a fancy cloth book front and some trinkets that come with it. Just another way for those publishers to rip you off ;)

I'm really looking forward to reading this new Harry Potter book, and it's only a couple of days until the release so I'm kind of excited, but nothing special. My mind is occupied with the coming rowing matches [img]smile.gif[/img]

Anyways, I didn't preordered it, never have, never will, because frankly I don't care that much about something material such as a book to have it as soon as possible. Everything can wait, there's no rush. [img]smile.gif[/img] I bet my little brother *is* actually glad because it is his birthday soon.. I bet he's getting the new HP as he has the first four books as well :D

It actually has extended artwork, and the paper is nicer (usually) but I enjoy the art, so I bought it [img]smile.gif[/img] And yep, got it at Amazon! So Sat, I should have my copy!!! Imagine all the shipping companies on Friday... and those books are heavy suckers [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Yep, it's definitely a big book! IIRC it's a third longer than The Goblet of Fire

<font color=green>The 5th book is only a few pages longer cause they used smaller text. i wish that i could pick it up on saturday cause i preordered it but sadly i won't get it for another month or so when my family sends it out to me. I should be home but i have to defend the free world and all here in kuwait *sigh* oh well hopefully my family sends the book to me quickly.</font>
