Deathly Hallows already in the hands of librarians
Deathly Hallows already in the hands of librarians To whet your taste buds, check out this photo depicting a few Deathly Hallows boxes sitting in a Charleston library.

According to this article, librarians received special permission to open the boxes early for cataloging. The books are not allowed to be placed on display until July 21st.

Thanks to Jeffrey for the tip!

Posted by Kamion Jul 15th 2007

I wonder how they keep security going on. btw that must be an awefull large library when they need 6 boxes full of books, how would they notice one book is missing? It then only needs a scanner and yup, the shish-kebab is all over the internet complete with garlic and peperoni sauce.


Posted by x0xandrea Jul 15th 2007

I want those boxes. A lot.


Posted by xxImpedimentaxx Jul 15th 2007

Posted by ashleymichelle Jul 15th 2007

Wish I was a librarian... I bet they aren't even cataloging the books :P People are probably standing at the counters for help but the librarians have a reading circle in the back room :P


Posted by beh77 Jul 15th 2007

I soooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooo wish I was a librarian.


Posted by Platero Jul 15th 2007

This is CRAZY. Put a STOP to this !!!! What's to prevent someone from taking a look and posting an anonymous tip to a rogue website or blog? Or to a newspaper on the other side of the country ? And SUSPICIOUS because: If the libraries are NOT open Sunday, then why not catalog them the very first thing MONDAY morning? Or if they ARE open Sunday, then they would ALSO be open Saturday, so why not catalog them at CLOSING TIME Saturday? This seems like an EXCUSE to open the boxes. It sounds SUSPICIOUS that they would ask for this permission. URGENT WARNING TO MUGGLENET: WARN ROWLING AND SCHOLASTIC AND BLOOMSBURY SO THAT THEY CAN PUT A ***STOP*** TO IT !


Posted by tabitoo Jul 15th 2007

Arrgh!!!! Is it a Federal Offence to break into a Library or just a minor one???? Either way it would be worth it. If I could just hide out until the Library closes then get my hands on a copy..... I think I could read it before the Library re-opens....seriously thinking about it. I don't think my husband would want to watch the kids all night while I do this, and if I get caught he'd have to bail me out of jail??? Hmmm...just weighing the pros and cons, the risk verses the gain. Still I think it'd be worth it. Plus if I hide out at closing time, then it isn't actually breaking and entering is it????? I really wouldn't be stealing anything I'd just be reading the book. Then if I do get caught...I wouldn't tell anything I've read so as not to spoil it for others. I'm seriously thinking this over. I'm sure the Librarians at my Library have read it. Maybe I could hassel one of them into.... No that would be just spoiling it for me. Seriously it's not funny living with an HP addiction. :)


Posted by Katiee Jul 15th 2007

Ahhh!


Posted by nysuperstarz Jul 15th 2007

wow, how retarded is this, if my thinking is correct the entire plot of the book will be online no later than 6 am tomorrow morning. -_-


Posted by weasleyismyking17 Jul 15th 2007

ahhhhh!!!! i cant wait!!


Posted by ForeverFan Jul 15th 2007

I never thought I'd say this...I actually wish I were a librarian.


Posted by redfreckles Jul 15th 2007

I work for a bookstore and I was talking to my boss in the back room when I saw the boxes. My boss saw my excitement and he told me " You even TOUCH those boxes your hand will burn off." :) my boss is crazy. but I'm excited!!!


Posted by quartz91 Jul 15th 2007

OMG!! I want a copy...NOW! lol :))


Posted by kaze_ Jul 15th 2007

STOP TEASING ME, YOU MEAN, MEAN PEOPLE. ;_; Man, I've always wanted to work in a library, and this just makes me want it even more.


Posted by eschism Jul 15th 2007
