It's Coming By Owl!
I pre-ordered the next Harry Potter book from Amazon UK since I wanted the British adult cover version. I just got this email from them, which I found quite amusing:

Now, why couldn't Amazon America be that clever?
I pre-ordered mine through Books-A-Million and received a Hogwarts Express "ticket" as proof of purchase. I was so excited when I got it! I'm going to do everything I can to get it back once I receive my book. It's just too cute. :) I also received a $50 coupon book for Books-A-Million and an invite to their HP party.
