But Harry has more reason to try to "fit in" than Hermione does -- he's been trying to fade into the background his entire life while Hermione comes from a very different place and I think that's why Harry accepts what's "normal" in this case.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh, Amazon says that the post office is holding my book awaiting customer orders. What does that mean?

If it's like the last book release, it most likely means that the post office has your book--whether that means in IL or at the Amazon distribution side, I don't know. But, you'll be getting it tomorrow, for sure!

Possibly it just means that they're taunting you with the fact that IT'S THERE BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT MUWAH-HA-HA!

I doublechecked - it's UPS not USPS -- but same thing, right? And I can't have it delivered before tomorrow anyway, right?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I don't know, sumi. Here's what mine says (it's coming UPS though and not USPS):
July 20, 2007 07:50:00 AM FRANKLIN PARK IL US Departure Scan
July 20, 2007 04:44:00 AM FRANKLIN PARK IL US Held by carrier - customer to arrange delivery
I didn't arrange anything, but it left the facility 3 hours later.

Okay, mine LIES and says that the receiver requested a hold and the service is basic -- does that mean I won't get it 'til Monday?

I just went to UPS and here's what they said about mine
THE RECEIVER REQUESTED A HOLD FOR A FUTURE DELIVERY DATE. UPS WILL ATTEMPT DELIVERY ON DATE REQUESTED / DELIVERY RESCHEDULED
I did NOT request a hold!!! Amazon requested it. Which means, UPS would have delivered it today. It's sitting there in Franklin Park. I could be there in 30 minutes. But, I bet they wouldn't give it to me, huh?
