1. Um

About damned time.

:)

[Jack_Dawson]

2. Is that the Kids Book I keep hearing about?

With that bespectacled little boy? Granted he is getting bigger...

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

3. If you consider a series for whom 48% of the purchases are made for

someone over the age of 40 to be a kid's book, sure.

God, I love snobs. :eyes:

[babylonsister]

11. Sorry, but I too was under the

impression the Harry Potter series was written for kids.

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

18. Nope. JK Rowling has said over and over that she wrote a book, and then

a series, that SHE would enjoy reading.

The stats are that about 3/4 are bought for someone over 18, and nearly 1/2 are bought for someone over 40.

[babylonsister]

19. Well then, I guess I'll have to check

them out. Thanks!

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

21. Do! They are *wonderful* books. Also,

if this helps clarify -- if the next two movies are faithful to the books, there is no way they can avoid a PG-13 for HP4 and an R for HP5. They're getting darker and darker as the characters grow up.

4. he's being released from prison? remind me what his crime was?

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

5. using magic to curse people with evil senses of "humor" who like to shit

on other people's hobbies for fun.

[motely36]

6. Well, I for one cannot wait!

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. Don't bounce too much. With my luck the release date will be

June 2008. I want her next book now dammit!

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

15. GOD, don't we all???

:party: :party: :party:

[bigwillq]

12. Let me know so I could tell my sister

She loves the Potter boy!

[dolo amber]

13. Be sure you post it

Or pm me if you want...lord knows I won't remember in 24 hrs. :(

/brain damaged :silly:

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

17. I'm signed up for the text message notification.

If I'm anywhere near a computer when I get it, I'll post it instantly!

[dolo amber]

20. Excellent!

Thanks! :hi:

[bbernardini]

27. How do you sign up for that?

?!?

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

28. here

[MaineDem]

14. Excellent!

But the announcement will probably be a date a year in the future.

I enjoy these books a great deal!

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

16. I'm sure it will be summer.

It has to be summer -- all the kids are off school and the adults can take vacation so we can all be at the store at midnight!!! :D

[LeftCoast]

23. Depending on how she wrote it I'm betting 9 mos - 1 yr

for the release date. It has to be edited, marked up and then printed and that takes time. If she's got an ultra-modern stream-lined process all bets are off. My 2cents. Hope I'm wrong and it's sooner.

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

26. The last two were June and July releases. I think this one will be some-

time between May 1 and August 31.

[1monster]

22. What are we all going to look forward to when J.K. Rowling writes the

seventh and final Harry Potter book? :shrug: :shrug:

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

25. Dude, I spent half the night in GD rooting for the apocalypse of our

species.

Want me to go back there? I can. Instantly.

In other words....sssssshhh!! Don't mention THAT!! ;-)

[gollygee]

24. YAY!!

I will be all pins and needles waiting though!

[MrSlayer]

29. Good, it's been soooooo hard waiting.

I almost wish I would have waited for them all to be out before reading them because it sucks so bad waiting for the next release. The Potter series is one of the best I've ever read in fantasy.

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

31. Booktoy dear!

How are you? :loveya: :o :o :o :o :o :loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

32. I am Bookalicious!

:loveya: :o :o :o :o :o :loveya:

And how about one of these for the news of the new Harry Potter release date? :hug:

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

35. You ARE Bookalicious!

It is so nice to have something to distract me from my utter certainty about the apocalypse to which we are all ultimately doomed. :D

[Zomby Woof]

39. I'll keep my distraction handy!

;-) :D :loveya: :o :o :o :o :o

[bigwillq]

33. Do we have a release date yet

So I can sleep in peace:eyes:

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

36. Luckily, the release date will be well before many

DUers outgrow this "I'm too cool for anything; I will shit on your happiness at every opportunity" phase of adolescence that so many seem to be stuck in. That's good, right? :D

[bigwillq]

37. Sorry. I never read any of the books

I guess I should read one to find out what all the hype is about.

My sister loves the books and movies and her room has plenty of Potter things in it. :hi:

[deadparrot]

34. Just heard this. V. excited.

[progmom]

38. Are you taking bets?

I'm betting on June. Waddaya think?

[crispini]

40. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

OK, I'm so stoked.

Maybe this summer?!

That would RAWK!

YEAH BABY! MORE HP GOODNESS!

will have to take time off work, for sure! :evilgrin:

[MaineDem]

41. July 16!!!

Hooray!!!

[crispini]

42. YEAH BABY!

[2bfree]

43. Great!

I have been dying to find out what happens next. I heard that another major character will die in this up coming book any guesses who?

[Twillig]

44. Major character dead? Good or bad? Wish I knew, because

I want Bellatrix Lestrange dead!
I want her family dead!
I want her house burned to the ground so Potter and Longbottom can piss on the ashes!
