I put my order in yesterday.

In addition, I've had my order for the US edition in at Amazon.com for
some time now, and just received a nice e-mail from them saying that
they plan to have the book in my mailbox on June 21, rather than mailing
it out on the day of publication as usual!  Various restrictions apply
but it's still a nice gesture.  Letter's text follows:

Subject:  You Will Receive Harry Potter on the Day of Release!

As someone who has pre-ordered "Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix," you are probably itching to get your hands on the first copy
off the press. Great news--we are going to make sure you receive your
copy(s) on the day of release, June 21, 2003, guaranteed, at no
additional charge to you!*

You don't have to do a thing--just sit back and wait for the book to
arrive on your doorstep on June 21.

Please be sure that the shipping address selected for this order is a
location where you will be on that Saturday, as this guarantee does
not apply if no one is available to accept delivery. <snip>

Pretty nice, for a faceless corporation.
