Vanity Fair - what else could we discuss

Catherine: <<<Well, I was relieved that the Brits on the list (including
me) haven't had to wait to pick up copies of Vanity Fair.  I bought mine
this morning, and in the nick of time, too, as WHSmiths at Charing Cross
had almost sold out already.>>>

David: <<<David, wondering if Vanity Fair is available in Britain outside
the West End of London>>>

Catherine: <<<I don't think it's available.  I asked at my newsagents in
Blackheath this morning and they said that it wouldn't be in until next
week - yet 20 mins on the train to the West End, it's there and selling
out.  Bizarre.>>>

Mary Ann: <<<That's it!!  I simply must get to town tomorrow and see if I
can get my hands on a copy as well, though if people living in the London
area are having problems, I don't hold out much hope for me.  Living in
Weston-super-Mare, I'm grateful I have electricity and hot water.>>>

It is available at places outside the West End. I picked up a copy in
Salisbury this morning (and they had quite a few copies). I was shocked I
could get a copy this quickly, without having to travel a lot further than
I did (30+ mins and I had gone shopping for other things and looked in WHS
for a magazine to read on the way back).

I would advise a trip to WHSmiths for any Brits on the list, as that is
also where I got my copy.  Possibly they have some sort of deal that means
they get the magazine first. They have had other exclusives in the past.
They had the paperback Of Artemis Fowl available when it was first released
this summer, whereas it is still only in hardback in the other shops.


I do have a major complaint to make about the pictures. Good many of the
pictures are there is not one picture of an owl in it. And so there is no
Hedwig in the magazine. I am disappointed and hope that Hedwig is not one
of the things that they have removed from the film.

PS: Is VF actually worth reading? Or should I just look at the HP pics in
it - I have already read the HP article.
