New Potter book leaks in Canada

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) -- Harry Potter's latest secret has slipped out in Canada, and publishers of the best-selling books hope the magical allure of author J.K. Rowling's autograph will get it back under wraps.

Rowling's sixth book about the young wizard is scheduled to be released July 16, but a store near Vancouver briefly put the book on sale last week.

Raincoast Books Ltd., which distributes the books in Canada, said a "small number" of the books were sold, and it has won a court injunction barring the buyers of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" from disclosing the plot.

The court also ordered all the copies be returned to Raincoast, which has promised the early buyers book plates autographed by Rowling once the embargo is lifted.

Millions of copies of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" are expected to be distributed to stores around the world, and publishers have launched big security efforts to keep the wizard's adventures a secret until the official release date.

Hehehehe ... back to the topic ... I personally have never read one of these books nor do I own one. What's the fascination? I've seen the movie but movies are usually different from the book, is this the case?

Amy is pretty obsessed with the whole thing. She's read all the books, I think. And from what she tells me, the movies are pretty good about being like the book.

i've never read any of the books, but i dig the movies.

As a matter of fact, Amy was reading the last one again while suntanning over the weekend so that when the new book comes out this week she knows where the last one left off. :rotflmao:

I usually just start reading and a lot of it comes back. I will never and will never read a book more than one time.

I stood in a 4 block line of people in Manhattan for the last book for Amy.
