The operation to ensure all Harry Potter fans receive their books on the day of release from Amazon.co.uk is a mammoth task. The company has a 200,000 square foot high-security warehouse where the books are kept prior to despatch.
Staff are "carefully hand-picked", according to a spokeswoman, and the company is legally bound by an agreement with publisher Bloomsbury to keep many of the details surrounding the release and despatch of the books a closely guarded secret.

Shame they were only able to deliver 1 of the 2 copies I ordered and the other has not arrived in today's post either.
I now have to go to a traditional store to buy it!
