Should've said that in the 1st place...sorry.

Thanks for the info - it's good to know.  
Though I'm curious to find out if this means 
kids (and librarians) can't order from a 
Scholastic catalog the most popular title 
that Scholastic sells and still get it around 
its release date.  That just doesn't seem 
quite right...wouldn't the catalogs be 
arriving around now so the orders can be 
placed by customers and processed by 
Scholastic in time for June 21st?  I can't 
remember - it's been ages.

What about Bloomsbury?  They don't seem to 
always use the same verbiage as Scholastic 
so it's entirely possible their marketing 
materials may give us more or different 
spoilers.  Any UK teachers/librarians/book
sellers here?  How will/did you guys place your 
orders for OotP?

Petra, awaiting your replies at OT-Chatter
a
