Harrry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is on it's way.
It has been a littel over two years since R.K. Rowling had released the mixed bag that was Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. As many Harry Potter fans, I eagerly await news on the newest book by hitting R.K.'swebsite. When I found out that not only the title had been picked, but she was actually on her way to writing, I was excited.
I myself, got into the HP thing a lot later than most. I actually read the first book in line to see the movie. Nevetheless, I loved the series, and the ideas behind the series. Until OotP came out, I loved the series. Now, I am a little worried. What if HP: HBP turns out to be worse? OotP seemed a exercise in frustration trying to get through it (please, don't mod me for my opinions), and now there is talk of more books after Harry leaves Hogwarts. Can HBP reclaim ground that OotP lost? One thing that MRs. Rowlings states is that it will be a shorter book. " Many people, myself included, never expected OotP to be as long as it was." Especially the overboard of teenaged angst.
The book release date, tentively set by raincoast books, is early 2006.
As for other news, principle photo for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is set to be finished pretty soon. No amount of hunting has gotten a release date, only cast lists. Hopefully I will see something soon, or someone else will report it.
