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.

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

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.

More! Wow! Thanks! I may have to expand on this drabble. I know that Nanowrimo is in a few months. I want to try it this year, so maybe I'll use this drabble as inspiration. I also have another piece of fanfiction on the backburner along with several original short stories that I need to edit and refine. I love reading fanfics myself. The fun is wading through the bad to find the real gems.

Because I like you guys here's a link to my first ever piece of fanfiction: Instructions . It's a one shot drabble that came to me rather suddenly late Tuesday.
There's been no update. Don't make me cry. Cause I will!  Nobody's ever updating their fics right now.
Haven't had time. My days have been pretty hectic. I do have a mini sequel in mind, I just have to get it down on paper.
I understand how you feel about updating. One of my favorite fanfic writers who shipped Lupin/Tonks is on hiatus until at least January.

I read a Batman Begins (what us fangirls call) Cranefic and she had updated every day, but the day I added the story to my alerts, she stopped. There's been 1 update in like, 2 weeks. And it's still at a cliffhanger Just get it up when you have time

I love it! Actually, I prefer it over beef. Find a Ted's Montana Grill and get a bison filet (medium rare), with garlic mashed potatoes and a yeast roll.

Deathly Hallows?
Woudln't it be more appropriate if it were Gallows? That's what I thought it was when I first read about this at lunch today.

I'm not surprised. I just hope that she didn't decide to do this as a publicity stunt. It would cheapen the whole thing. I don't really think that she needs to generate more publicity. She's the richest woman in the UK these days, how much more could she need?

I never even liked the idea of the novels being turned into films. Granted, what I've seen of the movies have been good. It's just that movies are never as good as the book. Of course they aren't but I enjoy both. If I've read a book that's made into a movie I like to see how well they interpret the book.

Interesting news here: http://ukpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5hmDwDPt_RkEFxQ_PMv0Cxoahz3iwJK Rowling has admitted to "weak moments" when she could agree to write another book in the Harry Potter series. But it is unlikely that young wizard Harry would feature as the main protagonist in an eighth novel, Rowling said, adding: "Let's give it 10 years." Time magazine has placed Rowling at number three in its Person of the Year list. Rowling told Time: "There have been times since finishing, weak moments, when I've said: 'Yeah, all right' to the eighth novel. "If, and it's a big if, I ever write an eighth book about the (wizarding) world, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel I've already told his story. But these are big ifs. Let's give it 10 years."

J.K. Rowling has penned a brand-new Harry Potter story which is being turned into a mini-movie. The film will be shown at a new theme park called The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida. All the regulars, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are shooting the movie at Leavesden, Herts, before starting two films based on final Potter novel The Deathly Hallows.

Beetle gets no love from retailers?With the series over, fans (and bookstores, whose summer sales were down 26%) are in a lethargy of Potter withdrawal and looking desperately for a literary felix felicis to ease the pain. When the much-anticipated Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film was bumped from its November release date only to be replaced by a tepid-looking Twilight, fans were gnashing their teeth and donning the sackcloth and ashes. In fact, the only good thing about 2008 for Potter lovers is Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard, set to hit bookstores December 4th.
After a year of frustration and disappointment, Potter-heads are beyond ready to dust off the wizard costumes and let it all hang out at a rousing midnight release party flowing with plenty of butterbeer and arcane Hogwarts trivia. The only problem with this scenario is that no bookstores seem to be hosting a release party.
While many will open their doors at midnight to sell the book to the thronging masses, at this time, no bookstores--including Barnes and Noble Bookstores and Borders Books--have any plans to hold celebrations. (Barnes and Noble has confirmed they will NOT be.)
