The countdown is on for anxious Harry Potter fans, although a few have already gotten really lucky, stumbling into stores jumping the gun on the latest installment.
One London fan says she's getting really impatient waiting for the official release of the 870-page heavyweight, by far the longest in the series.
A bookstore owner in London says there are all sorts of Potter-related activities scheduled for Saturday.
Despite heavy security and legal agreements, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," has slipped out ahead of the 12:01 a.m. Saturday deadline.
A 14-year-old who snapped up a copy at a Walgreen's Drugstore in Florida says she feels like "the luckiest kid in America and Britain."
Meantime, Potter author J.K. Rowling is suing a New York newspaper for $100 million. The Daily News published what it called "a brief glimpse" into "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" after saying it bought a copy from a New York health food store.
