I did the same thing when I got my email
When you pre-order, do you get it earlier then the release date?
Sometimes you do (from my experience), but it depends on when it was ordered, etc.

They're not supposed to release it prior to the date. Here, at a few bookstore chains in the area, they host an HP-themed event the evening before release. You go and get your number (that being the number you will be to actually purchase the book) and you can hang out, play games, shop, do face-painting and crafts, see a magic show, etcetera with hundreds of other people. Then once midnight strikes, they call #1 and that person goes to the counter and pays for & receives their pre-ordered book. I'm *fairly* certain they only give a lower price and a priority number to you if you pre-order. Everyone else gets their numbers starting somewhere at 500 and pay only the normal discount (from B & N anyway).
My wife has already ordered her copy and like last time I will be standing in line at the local book stores Harry Potter party with around one hundred kid's or so waiting to get her book.
(the thing's one does for love :inlove: )
By the way I am on the third Harry Potter book with my youngest son and believe it or not J.K. Rawlings is probably the best writer I have ever read.

Rowling is a remarkable writer... her story is worthy of reading in of by itself... dirt poor when she started Harry Potter and now one of the richest women in the world. Richer than the Queen and that is saying something.My wife has already ordered her copy and like last time I will be standing in line at the local book stores Harry Potter party with around one hundred kid's or so waiting to get her book.(the thing's one does for love :inlove: )

I will be sad when the story ends, but I do hope she doesn't kill off Harry and allows other writers to take a turn and bring Harry into adult hood with more adventures... like say... being an Auror and hunting down fleeing death-eaters.
I can envision a HP world where Harry teaches DoDA at Hogwarts and as an auror and possibly Ron and Hermione (if they surivive) married and Hermione teaching there as well... I can't see Ron teaching (potions... snicker) ... but you never know... LOL.
