Qty Item

1 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes sir, tomorrow is the big day. July 21. The release of the final installment in the Harry Potter seventology, or whatever the hell it's called.

Oh man, you must be excited. I bet you can't wait to get your hands on this book.

Meanwhile, my hands are already on the book. Your copy of the book, specifically, as I prepare your shipment.

It's kind of funny, when you think of it: you've been looking forward to this for a decade, and probably pre-ordered thie thing a year ago; and here I am, some Muddle (or whatever you call us) who doesn't know Hogwarts from genital warts, with the book 24 hours before you.

That's a little something called irony. You'll appreciate it when you get older. Assuming you're not some 37-year old guy who lives with his parents and can recite the d20 stats for a gelatinous cube has off the top of his head.

Well, don't you worry. This book will be on your doorstep tomorrow afternoon, ready to read.

Of course, I could read it right now. Your book. And I gotta admit, it WOULD be fun to be one of the first people in the world to know how it all ends.

Hmm. Maybe I'll just read the last page ...

OH MY GOD I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!! IT WAS ALL A DREAM???!

Hah hah. I'm just yanking your chain. That's not how it ends.

Or maybe it IS, and I'm just saying it's not so you'll be doubly surprised when you finish it. You never know.

I really did read the last page, though. The last word is "haberdashery." You can verify that when you get the book. Tomorrow. A full day after I had it.

Gee, now that I know how it ends, I kinda want to read the whole thing. If I start right now, I could probably finish it and get this book in the mail to you by Wednesday. You wouldn't mind waiting a few extra days, would you?

Also, I dog-ear pages to save my place. I hope that's okay.

j/k. I wouldn't really read this book. 1000 words about fairies? Yeah, no. Besides, who has the time? I gotta bust my hump 60 hours a week, schlepping your books around this warehouse.

Besides, I'd rather see the movie anyway. That chick who plays Hermoine is smoking hot. I'd quidditch, if you know what I'm sayin'.

All right, settle down. I'm putting your precious doorstop in the box now. If you've explored the links on the Your Account page but still need assistance with your order, you'll find links to e-mail or call Amazon.com Customer Service in our Help department at http://www.amazon.com/help/

Thank you for shopping with us.

I've pretty much avoided all things Harry Potter so far, books and movies. With all the hype sometimes I feel like I'm missing out. And then again, I don't.

I went into my local Walmart the morning it released and there was a full pallet in the doorway and they were $17. People stood in line all night to get a copy that cost more than that. Sad really.
