Greetings from Hexquarters!

We are all extremely excited to learn that the publication date for
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is less than six months away!  So
excited, in fact, that the elves agreed that it wouldn't greatly offend our
posting rules to allow the news to be spread on this list. ;-)

However, now that the news is a full day old, we want to remind
everyone that discussions of the publication date need to conform to posting
rules:

* If your post discusses what will happen -- the
characters, the plot or any other information about the books
themselves, including predictions about the likely outcome of the
series and reader reaction to that outcome -- please post
it on this list.

* If your post discusses how you will obtain your copy, how fast you will
read it, whether you intend to peek at the last page or the table of
contents, how the release date will affect upcoming HP
conferences or box office receipts for the OOP film, great ideas for release
parties, and the effect of the end of the series on your life or this list,
please post it on the OT-Chatter list:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter

* Please try **not** to send any messages about the release date alone.
One-line and me-too posts are strongly discouraged on the list; make each
post count!

If you have any questions about your post, please contact us at:
hpforgrownups-owner@ yahoogroups.com (without the spaces).

Thanks for your cooperation!

Speedy Elf
