I enjoy the books, I will even go at midnight Friday to get mine, but I must agree, the fuss is insane. Yes, I believe in street dates (having worked around video stores and the such) as it allows all the stores a fair chance, but if one slips up, oh well, it happens.
The fact that the Canadian Supreme Court in anyway was invovled in issuing an order to protect this *1* book is just INSANE! They don't have anything better to do? That little Johnny possessing the book fefore July 16th is a punishable offense? That he can't talk about the content of the book before July 16th? Let me spell it out again I-N-S-A-N-E.
I love the books, I do, but the circus that surrounds each release now is enough to make me not care anymore. And don't even get me started on the drooling Snape fangirls...dear lord, they creep me out.
