Um. Though I guess that would be playing the Harry Potter sword to its hilt. Whatever. If you order Harry Potter now, it looks like you get five bucks back to spend in August. And the thing is 49% off the regular price. And if you pre-order, they guarantee the delivery on the release date (July 21). That's what I call a loss leader, folks. It's like the dollar gallon of milk at the Piggly Wiggly. Get you in to the store and maybe you'll buy more. In fact, give 'em five bucks to do just that.
Oh, but look at that. You have to spend $20 to get the five back... clever. Of course, the book itself is but $17.99, so you gotta spend at least another $2.01.

I wonder if Amazon.com has anything for exactly that price. Maybe I'll go have myself a looksee.
No. That's too difficult for me to figure out. Instead, I recommend you buy 5 Amazon shorts. That will put you over the limit--they're only forty-nine cents. And they're often quite good.
So here's a link to Amazon Shorts for your clicking empleasurement.
