    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

    JK Rowling has released the title of the newest Harry Potter book, but not the publishing date. I can't wait!

    Well, if you think about it, it seems like she releases everything in June...the last 2 movies, and the fifth book were all released in June, so I'm guessing it will probably be June of 2005, although the next movie is set to come out in November of 2005, so maybe it will be before then....

    June 2005 is already too long.

    I hate it too, but I'm not even telling my son...he will drive me nuts til it comes out. Although I really can't complain, anything that has a 9 yr old boy taking hours out of his life to read is good...he just finished reading the fourth book and is about to start the fifth one. Actually, at the rate he reads, he should be just about done with the fifth book when the sixth one comes out. In a way I'm jealous, I never have a book last until the next one comes out.

    Odd, from what I've seen its mainly the parents driveing the kids nuts about Harry Pothead not the other way around. Im waiting another few years intil one of the kids who played in the movie pops out of obscurity and show up on CNN after some scandal.

    Specialist, you're kinda right. I mean my son got me hooked, he was reading the books long before I was, but I bought him the first movie, watched it, and got totally hooked, so I read all of the books. It's actually kind of nice (hang on, mom moment ahead) cause it gives us something we're completely in tune about, that we can talk about and I get (unlike Pokemon and Yugioh ) and it's really nice to see him reading like that. I mean you encourage your kids to read, but until they find something that hooks them in, there's not much you can do, and this has him completely hooked. He's at his dads house for the summer right now, and he doesn't have the next book there, so he's been reading other stuff cause he's realized how much fun reading can be. He's counting the days til he gets home to his Harry Potter book though (his dad is too damn cheap to buy him a copy there).

    Ahem, sorry for rambling, I can't sleep.
