<font color=skyblue>I read the news this morning that says that in New York, in a drug store a woman bought a copy of the new HP when she saw several on sale, and her kid read the first two pages as she learned that in Canada that this event had occurred and that a court judge had requested that all books be returned. She called the Publisher who put a stop to the sales, and the woman returned her son's book with a promise from the publishers that they would reward her for her honesty and assistance.
What a crazy couple of days its been, eh? </font>

I have had to rearrange my normal saturday routine so I can be at the shops by 9 to get my copy!
Wasn't there a shop in canada that accidentally sold copies of the last book as well? How could a mistake like that happen I wonder?

They forget it isn't out yet or confuse it with the previous one? Who knows... probably an honest mistake, anyways.

Well, I don't think it's an honest mistake. Rowling has gone through lengths and lengths of her time to ensure the books does't leak.

CNN has a cool report on Potter-mania, and names two other places that books were "accidently" for sale.

I've actually been sent a screenshot of a page of the book (temptation got the better of me, I couldn't resist) saying who dies. I'm not going to say for obvious reasons, but if you really can't wait another 6 hours and 10 minutes then PM me and I'll show you it.
Not sure if it's legit, but the page number fits in with the amount in the book.

Well, they could have put in any page under 2or300 and it'd probably be fine. I wouldn't put any stock in it.
