I have just arrived in Australia and probably will be staying here
when HBP is published.
So can people from here suggest me whether HBP will be available in
bookstores the same day it is pblished? I'm asking because the shops
pretty much close here by 4.00pm. I don't think I can wait any further
beyond that date; I'm already feverish. Can you also tell me whether
there are any online retailers offering discounts in Sydney area? And
whether there will be any parties for the adult fans of the series?
Help appreciated in advance.

I don't know about the next one but I know the last one came out
simultaneously across the world. So we in Oz got it slightly ahead
of those in the UK etc as we are a few hours ahead.

Hi - not sure whether this is appropriate to be posted but i'll give 
it a go anyway. The books are released simultaneously meaning we all 
get them at the same time (not a few hours earlier or later) which is 
9.01am in Sydney. All book stores in Sydney will have it but if 
you're axtra keen you can pre-pay for your copy at Dymock's now and 
they will guarantee you a copy at that store at 9.01 July 16.



ADMIN reminder: Don't forget, we also have a regional group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP4GU-Australia where parties 
can be organized!
