  Stores selling Norwegian OotP early! - some stores have broken their contract

Summary:
Allerede lørdag Rimi-kunder i Akersgata i Oslo kjøpe den nye Harry Potter-boka, selv om forlaget har satt streng deadline for salg til mandag.

Article:

Translation to English by Dumbledore:
Quote:
Sales for the Norwegian version of the fifth Harry Potter book weren't actually supposed to go on-sale before midnight tonight (Sunday night/Monday morning). Many bookstores are staying open late Sunday night and the vendor, DAMM, has put great effort into ensuring that none of the 150,000 copies of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" are released before deadline.

According to Aftenposten (another Norwegian newspaper) the new Harry Potter books were stacked up on a shelf for sale at RIMI (a cheap grocery store franchise) in Oslo on Saturday afternoon. The cheif publisher, Tom Dahl, of the publishing house DAMM appologizes for what has happened.
There's more to this story, but it's more of the same. Basically the dude's really sorry it happens and will take steps to make sure it doesn't repeat.

Officials are saying they can't confirm or deny that this happened.

Whatever!

lol

Egentlig skulle ikke salgsstarten for den norske utgaven av den femte Harry Potter-boken gå før midnatt natt til mandag. Mange bokhandlere skal holde åpnet natt til mandag og forlaget Damm har lagt ned ett enormt arbeid for at ikke en eneste av de 150.000 eksemplarene av "Harry Potter og Føniksordenen" skulle komme ut før deadline. 
 
Ifølge Aftenposten sto flunkende nye Harry Potter-bøker stablet opp i hyllene på Rimi i Akersgata lørdag ettermiddag. Forlagssjef Tom Dahl i Damm forlag beklager det som er skjedd. 
 
-Huff, dette var ille. Hvis dette stemmer er det et alvorlig brudd på avtalen vi har inngått med Bladcentralen. Dette er noe vi ser alvorlig på, og som eventuelt vil få konsekvenser, sier Dahl og tilføyer at han straks vil ta affære for å hindre at noe lignende skjer søndag. 
 
Informasjonsdirektør Christian Sulheim i Hakongruppen kjente lørdag ikke til om det var blitt solgt bøker på Rimi i Oslo. 
 
-Jeg kan verken bekrefte eller avkrefte at det er solgt bøker på Rimi Akersgata. Hvis det er tilfelle, så beklager vi det på det sterkeste, sier Sulheim til Aftenposten.
