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.

It's already a bestseller:
#1 at Barnes & Noble
#2 at Amazon (will probably be #1 shortly)

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 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.

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

I just pre-ordered my copy of the book from Barnes and Noble; so it should arrive the day it is released.

I've never gotten into all the Harry Potter merchandise. I think all the hype cheapens the books.

The children's cover from Bloomsbury is ugly, as usual. The Scholastic cover is just averagely good. I really like the Bloomsbury adult cover.

I just checked... This book is shorter than the last two: 672 pages.

Good lord! Some people should be banned from watching television or reading fiction.

That kind of stuff happens all the time Joseph. Look at the number of adults who still let their kids go to neverland alone without supervision even after all the media attention he got from the first trial. People usally do not think straight when infatuated with stars or are a fan of some star. Even if you don't agree with the Michael Jackson statement then look at the number of killers on death row who are sitting behind bars who get fan mail and even proposals as well from member of the opposite sex. Such is the curse for anyone who has alot of folks viewing them at once as their is a fan for almost everyone in the world if you ask me

I'm having trouble getting enthralled with this one. Of course, nothing has been able to peak my interests in weeks.

I know who died, but not from the media, or reading it.

I am bad about peeking. I looked at the end of the book to see if I was right about who died.

I still need to read all the good stuff in between to tell me how the character died.

Cat thinks the death was a trick and you'll find out about it in the next book.
Rawlings has refused to share her plot for the final book with ANYONE, she says basically if she dies or can't write it, tough noogies to all her fans who are left hanging at the end of this latest book (ok, not a quote, my paraphrase...). I think that's a nasty attitude to lay on her fans, but then again I never drank the Potter kool-aid. Everyone in my HOUSE has, though.

I think Cat is wrong. Rowling writes about death the way it should be in a children's book: living things die, sometimes painfully, and they don't ever come back. I hope she doesn't bring any of her dead characters back from beyond when so many small children, who really shouldn't read HP, love the books. It will teach them the wrong concept of death.

Done.
I was really having to strain to get into this one. Of course, in the end, I enjoyed it. Once all the silly parts were over, I really got into it.
I need an extra anti-depressant.
