mhalachaiAh, the things that happen where I live:
New 'Harry Potter' book leaked: Raincoast Books, the Canadian publisher of the Harry Potter series, is in full damage-control mode after a B.C. store prematurely sold up to 15 copies of the latest book last week.
On Saturday, the B.C. Supreme Court granted Raincoast a court injunction to help get the books back, and keep a lid on the plot.
Company spokesperson Jamie Broadhurst says some of the purchasers have voluntarily returned their copies. And he says the company is offering a reward to get the others returned.
"We're asking them to contact us and to temporarily return their copies of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to us," he says.
"And in exchange, what we will do, is on July 16 at one minute past midnight, we will return their copies to them along with a signed autographed bookplate to be affixed in their book from J.K. Rowling, and some gift items as well."

I'm writing as fast as I can, because the tiny part of me that believes in fate thinks that if I can get enough out, I can stop the deaths of any characters I need in my fic. Yes, it's 100% illogical, but then logic was never my strong suit.
