A question that came up regarding tonight's midnight release of the new Harry Potter book. This book is being released here on the East Coast at 12:00 am. Does this mean that it is also being released on the West Coast at 9:00 pm? Or do they have to wait until midnight also?

Wow, 18 hours, that's nearly 1000 hours!

Lousy Kiwis! They get everything first. In 1963 they knew Kennedy got shot hours before it actually happened! (I learned that from Oliver Stone's "JFK")

No, no, they had a full page dissection of Oswald...who he was, his history, pictures, etc., just mere hours after he was arrested and before most of that information had been widely released and reported in the US media.

That makes me even more mad. Lousy lamb-eating, Xena-filming Kiwi bastards.

Last Friday night, a friend of mine was given a copy of the book by a friend of his that is a children's book seller. He read the book a week before the Kiwis.

This reminds me of the release of Windows 95 at midnight. Hundreds of suckers (myself included) were lined up outside Comp USA to be sure we'd get a copy of what we hoped would be a decent OS.
Flash forward 9 years. We're still waiting.

I was so curious I flipped ahead in my book and I think he's the one who dies. So most likely yes, I did.

I've seen a lot of bad board fights, but a Harry Potter fight pretty much takes the cake.

Worried about finding out who dies in the new Harry Potter book? Now that you know, just don't tell the little kids and they won't find out.
And while you're at it, remember not to tell them Santa Claus isn't real. And please don't give away that Old Yeller dies at the end of the movie!

Line 1
"Mother died today."
Sorry to reveal that, but at least you don't have to flip through it.
Now If you really don't want to flip....Edna dies at the end of The Awakening.
And Willy Loman.... well he's The Salesman in Death of A Salesman.
Oh, and that guy in the red shirt who beams down to the planet with Captain Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Sulu? He dies too. Sorry again.
