"The anticipation surrounding this new Harry Potter book has been unprecedented," said Linda Metoyer, Community Relations Manager. "In response to customer demand, we will stay open past midnight so Potter fans can be among the first to purchase a copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and have loads of fun at the same time."

Barnes & Noble is offering the title for the discounted price of $17.99, 40 percent off the list price ($16.19 for Barnes & Noble Members). The compact disc and audio cassettes for the unabridged book will also be available. Customers can place pre-orders at any Barnes & Noble store or online at Barnes & Noble.com ( www.bn.com ).
