Harry Potter

Wonder if the Samaritans are on high alert for the grown up readers too!!

Childline is preparing for a deluge of calls from Harry Potter fans after the final book in the series goes on sale.

The phone counselling service has asked its volunteers to work extra shifts with the death of a key character expected to cause a surge in demand.
Childline's Kate Tench said Harry Potter had become a "major part" of the childhood of many children.
Meanwhile, author JK Rowling has hit out at US newspapers which revealed plot details.
Ms Tench said: "Death and loss of any kind can make children feel upset, angry and afraid. "The story could bring back unhappy memories for children who have lost friends, relatives or pets."
 
mi dads just been down to asda to buy mine, said they had loads left, read the last two pages first, just to make sure :D
 
Means very little to me. Never read one of the books and only seen the first film, which was nothing special.
 
You can report things like that to ebay I believe.Don't know how though,I've never done it.
 
Got to Accy Asda about 10.30 this morning with my youngest who wanted the book only to find empty shelves & one of the staff taking down the signs, was just about to turn away & come home when another assistant arrived with a copy of it saying 'I've just found one more' - needless to say he was thrilled to bits - now thats magic :)
 
I haven't read any of them but have enjoyed the films immensely - anything that gets children to enjoy reading books is wonderful.

I'm sure that no-one would buy it intentionally at that price but someone could go on ebay when they come home very drunk after a night out,not notice the price and buy it.They'd be in trouble then,especially if it was a buy-it-now sale rather than just bidding because they'd have already paid with their credit card.They wouldn't get their money back.Doesn't bear thinking about does it?Logging on to your paypal account to discover you've paid £1000 for a Harry Potter book!:eek:
My friend once went on ebay whilst drunk and bought a shirt for £15,when it was delivered the shirt was full of holes.When my friend re-read the description it was actually stated on there that the shirt had holes in it but my friend hadn't noticed that in his drunk state! It's amazing the stuff that some people buy when they've had a skinfull without reading the price/description of the item.:D
 
There were lots on sale in Wilkinson's this afternoon for £8.95, if anyone is still without a copy.
