Photos: Harry Potter and the logistical nightmare

Once more into the breach for Amazon.co.uk...

By Will Sturgeon on 13 July 2005 16:13

A team of employees will work around the clock to ensure books are despatched on time to destinations around the world. Amazon.co.uk has received 350,000 pre-orders for the book which is released at midnight on 15 July.

Due to an embargo imposed by publisher Bloomsbury on filming and photography, these images, supplied by Amazon, are from the last campaign to despatch the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

    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!
