Full Story



The book was sold to 14 people who snagged a copy of J.K. Rowlings' much anticipated "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," when it landed on shelves last Thursday at a local grocery store.

The book, officially set for release this coming Saturday, has been shrouded in secrecy and its debut has been highly orchestrated to enable everyone — readers, reviewers, even publishers — to crack it open all at once. It's the sixth in Rowling's seven-book fantasy series on the young wizard.

But the store slipped up and sold 14 copies before realizing its mistake.

"It was an inadvertent error on behalf of one of our staff," said Geoff Wilson, a spokesman for the Real Canadian Superstore. He said the books were quickly removed.

Justice Kristi Gill last Saturday ordered customers not to talk about the book, copy it, sell it or even read it before it is officially released at 12:01 a.m. July 16.

The order also compels them to return the novel to the publisher, Raincoast Book Distribution Ltd., until the official release. At that time it will be returned to them.

As an added incentive, Raincoast will include Rowling's autograph and a gift pack.

I wish i was one of those people. They told them not to read it yeah right i would read it so quick after i got it.

 

[Arielfn93]

Lol, I would too

I heard the same thing. What I wonder is how a judge can order you not to read something that you own, especially that you own legally- they paid for it. I think it must be against one's rights as a free citizen for someone to say it is illegal. As for not talking about it. What happened to freedom of speech. I really don't understand how a judge could rule in such a way.

Was it in the UK? Maybe law system is a little different.

 

[Arielfn93]

I am not sure, but I just saw it on my front page, and I thought it was strange, so I posted it here

 

[AdioSkater]

I don't know if i would tell people about it. Someone would probably end up selling it and get a lot of money.

 

[Arielfn93]

Yes, they probably would,
