Harry Potter VII book release at 1am

Hi all

I know there is another topic on getting the book on release date, but I wanted to know if there is a book shop that will be open at 1am to co-inside with the midnight release in the UK. I'd really like to buy it tonight (well tomorrow morning, but it doesn't count if you haven't gone to sleep yet).

I can see stores in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, but no where in Munich, so if any body knows of any where, please let me know.

The Potter withdrawal is too much to have to wait till the morning .

Thanks

Hugendubel dont seem to be doing the 1am thing. Honestly, whats the point? Though they are opening at 7am tomorrow for the launch.

How does it end?

I think some online stores offered a midnight delivery, but it's probably too late now to order and have it delivered in 9 hours. Weltbild.de may have done it, they will do it for the German edition in October. Maybe that would be worth a try to look around online if anyone still offers that.

Harry wakes up, it was all a bad dream - there is no such thing as magic and wizards.

I prob should have pre-fixed my original post with

I AM A MASSIVE POTTER FAN

Which is why I want it as quickly as possible, and have enjoyed the carnival feel that accompanied the other mid night launches that I went to in the UK.

As I'll be out tonight, seemed an easy way to get it, collect it on the way home and read a couple of chapters.

Thanks for the replies

I saw a poster for a place advertising that they'll be selling the book between 1.01 am and 2.30 am tonight. No idea how much they'll be charging for a copy.

It's at K Presse & Buch, International Press, near the trains/main ticket office at the Hauptbahnhof.

Hey thanks. Not sure why but all the info needed is blacked out. Haven't used this forum much, so dunno why. Can u PM em the details please.

Unless of course it's an ever so funny e-joke ;P.

Just double click on the black and you will see the words (but only 1 at a time) or just highlight it and you can read it.

Or simply select the text with your mouse and it'll all become clear, magic, isn't it good?

N1, thanks man. Woooohoooooo, new potter-tastic

Thanks for the tip Deco - will check out Hbhf tonight after the sneak

Are the blacked out texts lines from the book? I don't want to look but it's hard to resist.

Yes, they are! Don't look they are links to key pages in the book.

Mine's not, it's just a black box. I thought that's what everyone was doing.

Nah Keydeck, you have to double click and press F1 at the same time.
'tis only hilarious, so 'tis.

Newspoint at the airport is selling from 1am on.

I thought he went into the mirror to live with his parents in the outer wizard's dimension.

But parrots do exist.

I suppose you'd know, wouldn't you?

I'm bummed, this year my book wasn't delivered at 8 am... Might even get some work done before it gets here ... Course, now I'll be worried that they forgot me.

Yay !!! Got our book. Delivered as promised by DHL at 10 am - thats my weekend taken care of !!!

*ack* Mine still is not here. DHL's being extremely slow again...I really hope to get it today, otherwise the Amazon people are going to get some very nice words from me.

Loves it! Every coffee shop I past today, everyone and their granny was head first in...you guest it!

I had to see what all the fuss was about with HP so I got a copy last night. I Just finished reading it and now my eyes hurt. I have to say I was disappointed and I cant see what all the fuss is about tbh.

And another thing, how can they write the next book when he has given up his magical powers?

I got mine just as wahoo and sparty arrived in my garden and sat down at the beer table. I swear, I only read the info on the back. When they left I read the first two chapters outloud to Scogs, then we went shopping. We needed water more than HP.

waaaah!
I know I'm in the Munich forum (this time) but I have to complain somewhere... MINE DIDN'T COME!
Boo hoo hoo.
Had the kid quartered out for the weekend and everything...
grrr
