Sorcerer's Stone Anniversary Edition already arriving

UPDATE: Since posting this, we've received lots of e-mails from visitors who say Amazon has already shipped their copies too. MuggleNet reader Chance, who has his hands on the book, tells us that the bonus material from Ms. Rowling is a drawing of Snape she made back in 1992 or 1993. She admits that her sketch makes him look "Count Dracula-ish," even though she has always denied Snape being a vampire.

UPDATE 2: This appears to be no mistake, as Amazon had e-mailed customers who pre-ordered and told them they can expect the book to arrive between September 11th and September 15th. Thanks again to Chance!

The 10th Anniversary Edition of Sorcerer's Stone, featuring a brand new cover as well as bonus material from JK Rowling, has been accidentally shipped early to at least one pre-order customer on Amazon.

MuggleNet reader Rudy tells us that her copy arrived this morning via UPS, even though the book is not officially released until September 23rd.

If anyone else has received their book early, let us know (tips at staff dot mugglenet dot com) and tell us how it is! Please note that this is most likely not happening for everyone, but if you'd like to pre-order a copy anyway, you can do so right here.
