I had a good time with this type of thread at "The Other Place", that I decided to make a thread about the books here, even if I am the only one interested. This thread may contain spoilers and such.

Anyway, the title for Book 6 is officially "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". The hyphen is official. Also, now that many have let their imaginations run wild with all kinds of specualtion, J.K. Rowling released a few sentences from her book. It was released at her site J.K. Rowling.com. The sentences are:

He looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp.

JKR herself has said that the half-blood prince is neither Harry, Voldemort (young and old). There also has been no date set for the release of Book 6. It is however half done, so I am thinking sometime next year.

Could it be Harry's Dad that escaped the Bad weather that the bad guy thought did it's job? As that could explain the limp

The books are much better. They leave way too much out of the movies. The movies are very enjoyable though. I like them too.

I told my niece that the date was to be announced today. I told her, if she's lucky it will be out by her birthday. Her birthday is August 19. I'll be preordering 2 books.

It's already a bestseller:
#1 at Barnes & Noble

#2 at Amazon (will probably be #1 shortly)

I called that one.

I enjoyed our thread at The Other Place, too.

I can't wait to get the book! I wonder how long it will be? Each book gets considerably thicker.

I heard the news people say this book was not as long as the others Joseph when I was watching the news about it

I just read that earlier today. The rumor is it will likely be less lengthy. I could care less. They are an easy, fast, fun read.

Yeah, it took me less than a day to read "Order of the Phoenix". It would have taken me less time if I hadn't had to work that day.

I didn't read it that quickly. My eyes need a rest every forty pages or so.

Since I quit smoking, I find it harder to read books as I used to be able to focus more when I smoked and could burn through a good book in 2-3 days as I used to read 2 or more at once when I would read If I got bored I would bookmark the page and start on another book then come back to the other one later

I don't think quitting smoking queers your attention span. It didn't affect mine. It's probably age
