Release date!
The moment we have all been waiting for!
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is going to be released on July 16th 2005! You can go to www.jkrowling.com and click on the christmas tree, then the smallest present and you get a letter from JKR. WHOOPEEEE! Also, www.mugglenet.com has official pictures from the GoF. One of Harry and Ron in their dress robes *cackles* and another of Harry and Hermione before the first task. I am shaking with glee. *throws a party*

I know that, but I think it is a present, a small atleast, to know it is finsihed and we just have to wait 6 months more for it.

But we have a date! *hangs up count down on the wall* Personally, I cant wait for the movie in November! What on earth will they be doing all that time? The filming is almost over, I mean, there's lots of editing, but almost a whole year!
You can pre-order the book at amazon for 18 dollars, which is good because you can buy it in stores for 30.

I agree with Lizra, and besides, I think it's ilogical to wait for something you just might not enjoy. I didn't enjoy the order of the pheonix that much... I expected something much better after 2 years of waiting.

In my mind, it can't be bad. But that's just me. I was overjoyed at this. I've already pre ordered it from Barnes & Noble. You can get it 40% off there and in Borders, and in Barnes & Noble, if you're a member, that's an additional 10% gone. 7 months of torture... but I thought it'd be later, so I'm happy about the date.
I saw that picture. The robes one. It's awesome. Just awesome.
