There are a couple of different versions floating around out there with different size pages and so different numbers of pages

Ady Chapters only has the Childrens one left so you may have seen the adult one before (or the other way around, I can't remember)

I am so confused!!!!! It really doesn't matter how many pages - I just can't wait to read it!

But we may be going to the cottage for the day on Saturday and then i won't be home when they deliver it!

I'm definiyely avoiding HP things for now! I was even going to turn off the radio! This morning the guys said they won't be discussing it for at least 2 weeks! They have mentioned that some spoilers leaked, but didn't and won't say what. I told Scott this morning not to tell me anything if he hears it.

ISBN: 1551929767
It's because of different publishers in different countries. The Canadian ones have less pages than the American but I think it's because of smaller print.

The book was leaked out on July 17, and you can actually download it. Evidently theimp98 has done this but he's very nicely not spoiling anything for the rest of us!

Yeah. I heard about it. I refuse to read anything besides the book itself! I just got a message from amazon that they sent it out today!

I just checked my online order and they said it was shipped July 3rd- uhhh? I had to call them about something else anyway and the guy said that July 3rd is when my order was packaged and ready to be shipped. I asked if I can't get it just a wee bit early - he laughed at me!

Yeah, the stores will probably sell out! I refuse to look at that so-called "copy" online. I am a true fan, and will only read the book itself. I can see that no matter what, the books have leaked before being released! Those people that spoiled it and those that read it to me aren't true fans of the series, and have shown the author a great amount of disrespect....

Book 6 was the same. I realize information is so easily obtained, but geeesh! Show some respect, and just enjoy the book! I am avoiding a lot of websites that may have leaked stories until I read it.

I am glad that the poster decided not to spoil it for everyone else.

If Bruce downloaded the same version I did, which it sounds like, it's hardly a "spoiler", but the product of a fan with too much time on her/his hands. I skimmed through it, and will probably read it some day when I'm out of reading material. The last paragraph is quite imaginative.

You're right, and obviously people agree with you because know the leaked pdf file cannot be opened. I only saw two pages (thank goodness), but it was still 2 pages too much. I think I saw a forgery copy too, which was outed to be a fake. Well one more day I'm going to get it at midnight, and definitely won't be spoiling it for anyone online.

I just read the NY Times Book Review of it (no spoilers included). They said that it was good, sad, and let Harry move into adulthood.

I overheard a couple of work colleagues talking about it this morning, and one of them revealed a huge spoiler. It may not be true as this person is not an HP fan and doesnt hang around HP forums, but given the fact that there have been leaks over the past few days and that she doesn't hang around in places where there is lots of speculation, it's very possible that what she heard is true. I'm a bit bummed about it
