In case anyone wasn't sure...

[livejournal.com profile] liret just called to inform me that she saw a copy of DH that was accidentally put out early in a bookstore.

It is in the New Haven Train Station, if anyone wants one.

And in case anyone wants to know for sure whether the carpet copy is real,

It is.



PS: MAJOR SPOILERS IN COMMENTS.

Man, reading some of those page scans makes me glad I never read any of the Harry Potters past Prisoner of Azkaban. I'm not pissed about any of the character spoilers, but seriously... The writing is just horrid in comparison to the ones I remember reading. I mean, was she too distracted by the publicists slobbering all over her in anticipation of their next cash cow or what?

This one was much better than the last one. The writing is tight up through Goblet of Fire, but I think they gave her more editorial control, which was a mistake.

Ah, yes. Everyone's too busy kissing her ass to give her objective editorial advice.

Textbook case of George Lucas Syndrome. Makes sense.

It completely is. This book was actually way tighter than the previous two.
