No release date yet, but you can line up....to get on the list for the book....before the line starts :confused:So it's not actually an order but a show of how many you will order? Weird. Why not just start taking orders? :confused:

I thought I was going to be able to pre-order a copy. Instead, I can submit my e-mail address for how many I want to order. WHEN they e-mail back, it will be the release date, then I THINK I can order. Now you know why I'm confused.....:confused: :confused:

If they can store your info, why not just start taking orders? Unless they can't (or aren't allowed to) take orders before an official release date. In which case, why bother signing up at all? Just wait til the date is released.
..... Now I'm just confusing myself.

I think somebody just got the idea in their head that 07/07/07 was somehow "significant." Unless Rowling agrees -- and finishes the book very, very soon -- I doubt that'll be the date.
Blake
07/07/07 is significant in that it is the 100th birthday of Robert Heinlein, but I don't imagine that has any bearing on the release of the Harry Potter book.
Still, releasing the 7th Harry Potter on 07/07/07 would be pretty cool....
