Last Night I watched a Science Fiction show that made jokes about the Seventh Harry Potter Book, what was this show?
It's easier then you think, trust me.

Ok, I'll make it easier. It was a Sci Fi channel remake of a show that aired a LONG time ago. The main character was a time traveler that was addressed simply as a title.

Those are lies, do you any idea how ridiculously strict security is on the book supplies? They are saved in fireretardant boxes and such. People have to work in the dark when around the books.

What was with the anti-US comment, Matis?
Potter Puppet Pals? ( Snape, Snape, Severus Snape.) I know it's wrong, I just wanted to say that.

There was no anti-US comment. Simply that, if you don't live in the US, there's basically no chance you'll be getting Lumino's question right.
And Alan, I know the bookstore owner of the biggest library in my city did that with the previous 6 books. Why not with the seventh too? -_-
He didn't leak any info, but read the book a week before it was even released.

Bloomsbury forks out to keep Book 7 safe Bloomsbury forks out to keep Book 7 safe A new report analyzes the measures taken by UK Potter publisher Bloomsbury to keep Deathly Hallows unspoiled.
It is from Tuesday, however, when copies begin to be sent out to retailers, that the most crucial part of the security operation will come into effect.
The trucks Bloomsbury will use are fitted with satellite tracking systems costing up to £1,000 pounds, which will reveal whether any of the vehicles deviate from their intended route. The books are on sealed pallets fitted with alarms to prevent tampering.
A spokesman for Bloomsbury said: “we have a litigation specialist poised 24 hours a day, seven days a week to deal with any breaches. It is our intention to enforce the embargo vigorously and seek an immediate injunction if required.” While experts put the cost of all this at £10 million, the lengths to which publishers have gone are not surprising.

Of course. The thing is, that most likely only applies to "first world" countries, and such measures can not even be thought of here. Much less be put into practice.
