That Was Fast
The new Harry Potter book arrived today, from Amazon Japan. But then again, it’s past midnight Friday in Japan, though not yet in the U.S. And just past midnight in the U.K. Not to mention that many (resellers and libraries) have had the book in their possession for some time now. In any case, I’ve got a bit of reading material now. It will be very interesting to compare this with my brother’s work.
Update: apparently, Amazon Japan mistakenly sent a lot of the copies out a few days early. I got mine delivered within an hour after the worldwide release time, so not early but not really that late, either.

and the half blood prince is …………
Just finished HBP — WOW! Couldn’t put it down. It had a different feel than OoTP and GOF — more like the earlier books. Thanks for your blog. I read it every day.
