So I am now 666 of 3372 on the hold list for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

I'm pretty sure I started off around the 690 mark -- some people must have caved and ordered their own copies.

As the library has ordered 571 of the things, I don't anticipate being too far behind the curve. I have been wondering if they plan to have a special flying squad of librarians to pounce on them as soon as they arrive and get them into the system, or if they'll just get shunted into the queue.
