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!

Ahh.. Lucky! 5 days till Potterdammerung!
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.
awwww looks like someone opened it....
anyone have some cheesecakes i can use as bombs to attack any librarians while i steal DH?
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 :(.
Man, I should have majored in library science! I want my book now!!!
this is my last comment until i finish reading deathy hallows.. dang spoilers..
WHY AM I NOT A LIBRARIAN!!! ): ):
I saw the epilogue online, its so sad im crying so much
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
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.
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.
na im joking im not a librarian haha
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.
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!!!!!!
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
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
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.
~~~~SPOILERS~~~~ the deathly hallows is a children's tale about 3 artifacts, severus is good and becomes headmaster............... ......................... .....................j/k just another fake spoiler
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.
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.
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
eschism: seriously, you really believe the fake epilogue is real?

AGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH! Im going mad wating! :D Friday night can't come soon enough if you ask me!
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.
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.
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!
Okay I just read that comment by that Barbet guy....thanks a lot if thats true! Mugglenet remove please!
SCOOBY DOOBY DOO WHERE ARE YOU? WE'VE GOT SOME WORK FOR YOU NOW!...sory had my scooby moment
*tastebuds get soaked*
My new ambition in life is to become a librarian.... right now!!!!! This week is going to drag SO MUCH!!! ah well. I will savour every single word of DH. I'll be so happy to read it, yet devestated that it's the last one! I can't wait!!!!!!!! :)
omg so jealous of those librarians right now! grrr lol :) only 5 more days left so i can hold on till then, just about :P is anybody gunna be skipping to the end of DH to see who dies the moment you get the book?!?! i know this is of topic but i saw ootp at cinema today!! yay twas well gurd!! (obviously! :P) am also seeing it at imax on friday so yipeee!! lol xoxoxo
*dries LADYM's tastebuds then gives him/her/heshe/it/werewolf cheesecake and a poncho*
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?
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
scooby dooby doo. where are you. we've got some work for you now. and we've got a mystery to solve scooby doo are you ready for your act? don't hold back
that's not fair at all. =(
i know some scooby song! "SCOOBU DOOBY DOO, WERE COMING AFTER YOU, GUNNA SOLVE THAT MYSTERY, WHATS NEW SCOOBY DOO, WERE COMING AFTER YOU, SCOOBY DOOBY DOO! NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH, NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH, GUNNA SOLVE THAT MYSTERY..." i think u get the rest lol :D xoxoxo
Wow thats cool. I wish I worked there. I want it to be friday already!!!!!
*throws cheesecake in rob15's face*....*foodfight ensues*
cooleo
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...
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.
Thanks hehe!
lol no problem. scooby :P xoxoxo
*ties LADYM to a beanpole and stuffs sushi down him/her/heshe/it/werewolf 's throat*
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.
