102 days 2 hours and 34 minutes. I should speed this up. Harry and Ron get lots on the way to Transfiguration. Mcgonogall's reaction at their lateness reinforces the notion that she is not a teacher to cross.

101 days, an hour and 48 minutes.
The staircases frequently change at Hogwarts. And Peeves the Poltergeist is fond of leading students astray.

Maybe we need to agree on a date (and even time) we are counting down to. Sora is at 100 days, but my calendar still says 101. This might help, from the Bloomsbury press release: "Sale of the book in all time zones is embargoed until 00:01 BST (British Summer Time) on Saturday 21st July 2007." I read that to mean that nobody can sell the book until just after midnight, British time. That would be Noon on the 21st in New Zealand. (according to http://www.timezoneconverter.com)

No, no, we get the book at 11:01 pm on the 21st.
The United States, who have to recieve the book on the 21st, will get it a day later than the rest of the world. (Or, like four-eight hours). We should count from the British publication date, which is the one I don't think Jacques is using.
It is currently 99 Days 22 hours and 30 minutes.

I'm with you, Jacques. (Although I'm really an hour behind in Central time. And I still don't see how NZ can get the book before UK.)

We don't get the book before the UK. We are on Daylight Savings Time right now, meaning that we are an hour behind. Technically we recieve it at 12:00 but not really.
Anyway, Gigi it's 98 days by Jacques counter anyway. 98 days 13 hours and 54 minutes.

Well then, did you really mean 11:01 AM in this post: No, no, we get the book at 11:01 pm on the 21st. Because when you say "we", I assume you mean New Zealand in general. You made it sound like you were getting the book before the UK. I would much rather get my book at an exciting midnight party 6 hours after the UK than have to sit around in the morning to wait for it.

Yes i meant 11 Am. My bad.
I'll be at work that day anyway dealing with pre-orders from 7 in the morning (it's during my holidays). I won't have time to read it until like, 5:00 pm that day anyway.

On the night of Halloween Quirell runs frantically into the Great Hall shouting that there's a troll loose. Harry and Ron track it down only to find it cornering Hermione who was crying after Ron insulted her that day. The two save the day with wingardium leviosa and the teachers rush in shortly thereafter. Snape, notably, takes off for the forbidden 3rd floor corridor.

I don't even see a countdown on mugglenet right now. Something must be wrong with my computer. But if my calculations are correct it's 95 days, 1 hour, and 37 minutes.
