The D-Day for Deathly Hallows?

I am getting used to reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for the past three days. I wanted to finish this book before deathly hallow arrives.(I happen to purchase one for 630 bucks... cool na?)
What did this potter mania bring among the student community? I feel that the craze for the books have brought good reading habit among the kids. I was watching a kid talking to a reporter the television replying to a question whether she would read the last chapter first and the kid replied that " I want the first to read first and the last to be read last". I was shocked by this comment. But people are going mad which makes them finish 600 pages in a matter of few hours!!!!
Well! here comes another potter fan who does not mind being slow to come to know what happens to Harry Potter eventually.

I have a question lingering in my mind.. Do people really finish the books or they are just first edition snobs.

I got a call while I was typing this post from a friend of mine. He did so to inform me that he bought the book for 750 bucks from a place. It seems he was the first person to get the book. He has been following the Potter series and I am very curious about what drives these people to be so mad.
I have friends who just hate harry potter for the reason that it is a book meant only for kids...
This situation reminds me of a dialogue from the movie Bunty or Bubli. I wanted to type it in Hindi but let me explain better..
There are two of people in this world: One like Harry potter and the other dont....

Wish the outcome of the book is a good one. I am getting a copy of the book in a day or two as I checked my book status to be "Ready to Ship!!!!" I was quite happy about it.
