Ok, i know the e-mailI'm referenceing below is old, but, I'm just so far behind!  
Early summer I read somewhere that OoP was supposed to be released 11/16 in conjunction with the movie!  So all this time I was fretting about tearing myself away from the book to watch the movie, making plans to sit on the floor on the lobby of the theatre waiting in line for the movie, figuring who would babysit for me all day so that I could read uninterupted...All for naught!  i only found out in the last couple of weeks that the book is delayed until next summer.  What i wouldn't give to have that simultaneous release date to worry about!  Well, as soon as the real release date for OoP is set, I'm lining up my babysitter!  I'm all set for 11/16, though.  Hoping the first showing will be matinee so that when i see it that night with my 6 year old, I don't have tomiss anything.
