Even though the new Harry Potter book won't be on the bookshelves until 21 July, its sales are already truly staggering; outselling even the Bible.
Rowling announced Thursday that "Deathly Hallows" would come out July 21. The previous six books have sold more than 325 million copies in 64 languages and broken countless sales records. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," published in 2005, had an announced first U.S. printing of 10.8 million copies and sold 6.9 million copies in its first 24 hours.

Yup, I ordered two copies within the first couple of hours of release.
Is that what the cover is going to look like, or is that just a mock-up?
i am not sure about the cover. i was told it was the real cover by one source, while another source said that amazon designed that cover so customers had something to look at when pre-ordering the book.
Outselling the bible. ... You troll you! ... You should know that the fundies just hate everything to do with the Harry Potter books, then you have to remind 'em that the latest [Harry Potter] book is outselling their their version of superstition of the month. ... You troll very well, indeed.
Congratulations on a job well done.
