(the beginning of Harry Potter Movie)
(Harry, Hemione & Ron grown up...)
Exactly 12midnite (UK) time, marked the released of the long waited finale for Harry Potter book - Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows. As a Harry Potter fan, I checked out the websites first thing in the morning on news worldwide related to the book launch.
Is so crazy to know fans worldwide actually Q up (opps...more precisely, camping) for hours to get the first touch on the book.
Bookstores in M'sia did their best effort to make this lauch memorable & magical...Like Kinokuniya in KLCC, the set up a fat lady portrait of Gryffindor at the store entrance & award those first three in the Q that given the correct password a limited edition of Deathly Hallows worth RM235.
Unfortunately there are bad news to this too...The Ugly price was has made the major bookstores here to withdraw all Deathly Hallows from their Shelves...i need not write it all here..just click the link below.

I wonder was it a good idea to do so...who will be the loosing end..One end protecting the bookstores & distributor....One end helping the readers to pay lower for the book.
Anyway...I'm waiting for my long ordered copy to arrive soon from UK...Glad to know that The Six movie of Harry Potter will start filming this coming September & will be release in 2010....Cant wait!
