I saw that purple covered one at Borders too but not at Barnes and 
Nobles. What I really want are the bookmarks. During the OoP waiting 
time, I happened in to a Borders to buy a magazine or some such 
thing and they had the OoP bookmark up by the cash register and the 
lady gave me about 10 of them. I saved a couple of them and used the 
rest in my books (and one for my copy of OoP!). I am hoping to do 
the same with HBP. Thanks everyone for the info. I will keep 
checking back with the bookstores especially after the 16th of April 
to see when they show up!
