Ireland gets early release of Book 5 - Tesco in big trouble

[RonanMD]

Just in: Supermarket in Athlone, Ireland, sold four copies of Book 5 yesterday. The staff were stupid. Irish publisher, Bloomsbury, are considering legal action. On live national radio today one of the lucky four said no-one had realised that this was the first shop in the world to sell them. She read out the first page.

I continue to be amazed at the stupidity of people. Honestly...

i know! a drug store in New York sold some and a newswriter got ahold of it and published 4 pages in a newspaper. and JKR is suing her. i'd be right upset too; people ARE stupid!! some of my friends had the article and were looking at it. i'm like "you're soo stupid!!! you can't possibly be REAL hp fans if you would read something like that!!" hoenstly, people disgust me sometimes... *shakes head*
