Can't wait! Apparantly it's one third longer that the Goblet of Fire.

Have you seen the spoilers? From the Bloomsbury website:

The beginning

Spoiler

“The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive … The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four.”

Later in the novel, J K Rowling writes:

Spoiler

“Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses.
'It is time,’ he said, ‘for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry.
Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything.’”

edit: I just realised that all this information is in the link from Darren's post! Sorry!

No problem

I noticed that Bloomsbury have placed an embargo so that the book cannot be sold before 00:01 British Summer Time. Guess there'll be lots of people queing in the bookshops at midnight!

I'll be there! It looks I'll have to buy two, one for each of my boys.
