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!

I want potter. I want Potter. This is so unfair!!!!!!! I did work expereince in library last year - why could it have not been this year!!!!!!!!!! I wonder how bad is it to hijack a library.


Posted by grednforge Jul 15th 2007

awwww looks like someone opened it....


Posted by rob15 Jul 15th 2007

anyone have some cheesecakes i can use as bombs to attack any librarians while i steal DH?


Posted by Fallen20 Jul 15th 2007

That's funny. It says RIGHT on the box..."Do NOT open Before July 21st, 2007." And the top box is already opened. They can't be categorizing the books already can they? I already Pre-ordered my book from amazon.com and I will be getting the book the DAY it comes out. (so I don't have to wait in line...and it was only 17.99!!! + shipping and handling of course) OOOHHH I can't wait to get it!! A few days after I get it, I will be going on Vacation and I can take the Book with me!! And read it on the Beach!!!!!!! YYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSS SSSS!!!!!!!!! *faints*

***********************SP OILER WARNING****************** ***** I work as a librarian at the Charleston Library. My buddy and I looked at the book. The first chapter is similar to the one posted on mugglenet. For anyone who wants to know I read part of the last chapter. Harry dies along with Voldemort, Hagrid, and Ron. I'm so sad :(.


Posted by phoenix21701 Jul 15th 2007

Man, I should have majored in library science! I want my book now!!!


Posted by ali26 Jul 15th 2007

Posted by lostjunkie Jul 15th 2007

WHY AM I NOT A LIBRARIAN!!! ): ):


Posted by babert Jul 15th 2007

I saw the epilogue online, its so sad im crying so much


Posted by lidietta Jul 15th 2007

Why don't I live in the us and why I'm not a librarian there, THIS is my question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIDIETTA: calm your mind young padded one, dig deep my weary son/daughter/shemale/were wolf....and alas, you shall laugh like a drunken hyiena


Posted by coral013 Jul 15th 2007

What does RLB Edition mean? And WTF ARE YOU DOING POSTING "SPOILERS" LIKE THAT. If that's true you just f-ing ruined the whole book for me.


Posted by bswank08 Jul 15th 2007

Babert- you suck! Why would you put that on here for people that are WAITING for the book??? If it IS true, which I doubt, then alot of those spoilers around the web are wrong.. hmm, makes me think.


Posted by babert Jul 15th 2007

na im joking im not a librarian haha


Posted by cbianco Jul 15th 2007

Awsome! My friends aunt is a librarian and she says she is going to get to read the book early but i bet she is lying just to make me jealous.


Posted by hooked_on_Harry Jul 15th 2007

i guess noone believes babert. oh well..... can't believe that we only have 5 more days plus hours to go!!!! i remember agonizing in Feb. about how far away July was and now it's here. :-D this year i think i'll wait to get some boxes at 12:30 am. For HBP, i waited about 4 days to even consider going to the bookstore and making a fool out of myself to ask for the boxes but the cashier was nice and gave me 7 of them. How ironic is that?????? (or was it 8 boxes?) anyway, hurry up friday!!!!!!


Posted by mudbloodprincess Jul 15th 2007

i work in a library and me and my coworker begged them to let us SEE the books... but they said they signed a contract! we;re like: we're part of staff... at least let us BREATE the air near the book, but they mocked us :( though i hope other libraries are being just as good at following the contract :) lyl lyl


Posted by rob15 Jul 15th 2007

i'm actually a librarian at Barnes and Noble and this is actually what happens: in chapter 1 Dumbledore wakes up with Sirius lying in his barrel of cheeesecake that dumbledore fell into and sirius got transported there from the veil, but then snape comes along and kill sirius...but Dumbledore stuffs some cheesecake down Snapes throat and whacks him with a cat he found. then in the last chapter: Ron trips over Hagrid and dies then Harry ties Voldy to a tree and sends fang on him...and poors some bat droppings on him


Posted by Stripe Jul 15th 2007

The spoilers will be coming in thick and fast now. I'm just praying that the "Epilogue" pictures are fakes... if not, I have lost all faith in JKR.


Posted by Loutre Jul 15th 2007

~~~~SPOILERS~~~~ the deathly hallows is a children's tale about 3 artifacts, severus is good and becomes headmaster............... ......................... .....................j/k just another fake spoiler


Posted by soccerluver13 Jul 15th 2007

Okay so if I was a librarian I would grab a book and run to the bathroom and lock myself in there for 8 hours til i was done.


Posted by RedFawkes Jul 15th 2007

AH! Those lucky librarians! Man, I just want to hold one, and like, just treasure it. Darn, I have to wait till Friday. Who else is going to an HP party? I wish I was in England for that huge party with JKR.


Posted by rob15 Jul 15th 2007

SOCCERLUVER: if i found you i would stake you to a beanpole, steall the book and beat you senseless with it then pour bat droppings on you....then read the first chapter to you and give you some cheesecake and a poncho


Posted by BillieTheVision Jul 15th 2007

eschism: seriously, you really believe the fake epilogue is real?

Posted by Dobby4ever Jul 15th 2007

Cool.. but isn't there quite a risk that they'd get stolen? I can't wait for the book.. the final one! - it will be kinda sad too though.


Posted by Startori Jul 15th 2007

PROLOGUE, IT'S A PROLOGUE!!!!! Sorry for yelling, I'm just a little annoyed that so many of you need to go back to school before the summer is ended and that you don't know the difference between a prologue and an epilogue.


Posted by snuffles101 Jul 15th 2007

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I'm so excited. EEEEKKKK I can't wait! I want to jump into that picture! Like Blues Clues or something... I need this book NOW!

*dries LADYM's tastebuds then gives him/her/heshe/it/werewolf cheesecake and a poncho*


Posted by BillieTheVision Jul 15th 2007

Startori: No, it's an epilogue. An epilogue is what comes at the end of the book. You probably mean the one with Snape and the tall guy?


Posted by Scooby Jul 15th 2007

hehe. I do hope that comment I mentioned is wrong. I glanced at it by mistake. What's the rest of the words in the Scooby Doo song anyway? lol


Posted by rob15 Jul 15th 2007

*throws cheesecake in rob15's face*....*foodfight ensues*


Posted by snuffles_black96 Jul 15th 2007

cooleo


Posted by T0rNaD0 Jul 15th 2007

Can someone post a link with that epilogue pic? Post it and say it's a spoiler so that who doesn't want to read it doesn't...


Posted by elody4434 Jul 15th 2007

I work at the library as a page ( we help librarians shelve books etc.) And i'll be in on Friday so hopefully i'll get to see some of the book except i dont want to see too much of it and then have to stop and wait til saterday morning because that would be ridiculously hard. Our library is getting 10 copies though! Friday ./ the week leading up to saterday is probably going to be mobbed, because of all the random events that we have planned, so I doubt any ones going to have much time to read the books, and if they do Librarians are probably more likely to be respectful of spoilers and everything.


Posted by Scooby Jul 15th 2007

Thanks hehe!


Posted by xxgryffindorrocksxx Jul 15th 2007

lol no problem. scooby :P xoxoxo


Posted by rob15 Jul 15th 2007

*ties LADYM to a beanpole and stuffs sushi down him/her/heshe/it/werewolf 's throat*


Posted by weasley24601 Jul 15th 2007

Aaaaand this is how the last 2 books were ruined for me. My friend works in a library and always sneaks a peek. And has found out who dies the past two books. Needless to say she has a big mouth.
