    $17.78 at Walmart (give or take a few pennies). Now to read it before someone spoils it.

      Of course! With an 8 year old at home, I could not have escaped it!

      That said, my daughter is out of town on vacation, so when it appeared on Saturday (the Amazon 'guarantee' really came thru), I only wanted to cursorily glance thru it (had a lot work in the shop too). Well, I ended up reading that whole **** book before I went to sleep !! 759 pages of good fun - maybe her best of the series.

      Shall enjoy reading it again with my girl - a chapter a day.

        Of course, LOML is reading it first. The nice mail lady delivered it on Saturday (pre order from Amazon). The postal workers had many, many copies to deliver on Saturday.

          I voted never will. There wasn't an option for Harry Potter WHO?? I saw most of one of the movies (first one I think). Not bad, enjoyed what I did see. It would not bother me if I never saw it again or saw all of them in their entirety.

          By the way youngest kid is going on 20, oldest grandkid knows her ABC's so I have time, so ask me again in about 10 years.

            Darth Vader is Harry's father, Harry kills JFK, then wakes up next to Suzzane Summers.

              My son who will be a Senoir in high school bought it on his way home from work Friday night. Started reading by 12:30 and stayed up reading till 7:30 am when his Mom woke up and started interupting him with questions about work (he has a bad boss) and such. He fell asleep for a couple hours then finished it off.

              I read it on Sunday.

                  I brought my twins to purchase the book at 12:01. I was pretty surprised to see that many kooks out there dressed up like Harry Potter characters. The kids I can understand but the number of adults out there dressed liked that blew me away. I'm glad I decided to stay there with them and not just drop them off and come back later to pick them up.

                    LOML pre-ordered it at the jungle and she got it Saturday. One of these days I'll have to sit down and read it to my daughter.

                        Fell asleep during the first movie. Haven't seen one since. Don't intend to.

                            I'm not at all ashamed to admit I am a big HP fan and I did get it early Saturday and spent most of Saturday and Sunday morning reading it. Buying it and being able to devote that much time to it was my Father's Day gift. It was so great being able to relax with a good book for that long uninterrupted.

                            I finished it, and it was awesome.
