    Have just checked my waterstones account....it is saying that my order has been shipped. However, I have received no email to say so. I did order early (knew 2 people who'd buy it anyway). Suspect though that they're packaging the orders and even sending them to the shipper. But as there's so many orders I'll bet that the shipper has them in a 'holding pen' and they'll only go out on a particular date.

    I wouldn't count on getting them early.

    This is what my e-mail from Waterstones said, hope this helps :beer:

    I have not pre-ordered as I am getting mine at a midnight release party at a local bookstore. But someone has already got their hands on the books and taken (high quality) photographs of the pages. I only saw the title page and refused to click on the other links but there is already the contents, chapter 1 and ending out on the internet :mad: And it is genuine. I think I am getting off the internet for the rest of the week as I have already stumbled across one small (and I think genuine) spoiler and 1 huge (I am unsure if it is genuine) one.
    Lucky people if you do get it early!

    Serenity - Are you sure? Is it possible that someone has got one already this early before release?

    I don't really want to see it tbh it would spoil it, but was it on an official news site or a HP fan site or something?

    i dont want to know either as much as its killing me!!! but i want toread it myself :D

    but lots of people will have already seen the book, the proof readers, the printers etc........

    so there might have been a couple of pictures taken whilst it was at the printers.

    I remember with the last book a couple were stolen from the printers and they tried to sell them to the sun, but the sun being the honest paper it is (:rotfl: ) snitched on them to the police and they got knicked and the honest sun (:rotfl: ) gave the copies back to the publishers.

    Please note:

    ALL PEOPLE WHO ORDERED FROM ASDA WILL HAVE THEIR ORDERS CANCELLED!

    Apperently there has been a row with the publishers over price/unpaid bills... (i.e. they didnt want ASDA selling it so cheap!)...
    Being bored is so boring Im bored of it... :rotfl:
