Adium: I'm totally with you!!! If I saw a copy of HBP out there... id grab it with both hands and never let go!! Stuff the consequences!! After all, this is the latest.. UNREAD Harry we're talking about here!!! It's not like you broke in and stole anything. The bookshop's stuff-up is your rewRD. gO FOR IT! I think it's brillant!! You haven't ruined anything for me or anyone else as far as I can see. If I choose to go and read exterts from a HBp, it's not gonna stop me wanting to buy and own a copy myself. If Jo's got a problem with that then maybe she's become too greedy after all.. I mean, 12 million for Comic Relief was BRILLANT Jo! But the GoF movie cost 350 million to make!!! That's THE MOST expensive movie EVER made!!! You gotta wonder at the ethics of that. She and her lawyers, have gotta bit of a cheek to be preaching I reckon.

Go for it Adium!! Enjoy! I can't wait to hear your thoughts about the book when we've caught u to you.
