Default The Deathly Hallows

So the new Harry Potter book comes out in 5 1/2 hours (in EST) and I have a couple questions.

Who is going out at 12: 01 to get it? I am.

Does England gets to start reading 5 hours before the east coast Americans (because of the time difference.) or does it go on sale worldwide at 12: 01 EST?

7 Hours? I've been reading for about 6, and I've finished it all.

Excellent book, with plotlines only really able to be understood by competant readers.

And it went on sale at midnight over here in the UK, so we would read it first (I think :S).

It then works westwards around the globe from GMT.

It is fitting that it is first avaliable in England as it the place of Joanne Rowling's birth - and it is based in Britain. Even the films have an all-British cast.

Deaths in the book

SPOILER ALERT!! click this to show it -->
Hedwig (Killed in escaping Privet Drive)
Mad-Eye Moody (Killed in escapig Privet Drive)
Rufemus Scimangiour (Sp?)(Killed in Voldemort's Take Over of the Ministry)
Bathilda Bagshot (Killed by Nagini)
Dobby the House-Elf (Killed by Beatrix Lestrange)
Severus Snape (Killed by Voldemort)
Crabbe (While trying to kill Harry, Ron and Hermionie, killed himself.)
Fred Weasley(Killed in Battle of Hogwarts)
Wormtail (Killed by his own Hand. I would say suicide, but it was the hand Voldemort gave him.)
Remus Lupin (Killed in Battle of Hogwarts)
Nymphadora Tonks(Killed in Battle of Hogwarts)
Colin Creevy (Killed in Battle of Hogwarts)
Beatrix Lestrange (Killed by Molly Weasley)
Tom Marvelo Riddle - Lord Voldemort (Killed by Harry Potter)

I am not including Harry Potter, as he didn't die - despite being hit by the killing curse - he had his soul cleansed of Voldemort. Therefore, he is the only person in history to survive Avada Kevadra not once, but twice also.


Yes, that many. Possibly more if in my wrecklessness I missed them off this most presdigious of lists.
