The next HP book is due out July 16th CTV news. Book 6th

HBP: July 16, 2005
JK Rowling's two English language publishers Scholastic and Bloomsbury announced today that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released at midnight BST (British Summer Time) in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa on Saturday, July 16th, 2005. Bloomsbury will be releasing both the hardback childrens and adult versions (same text, different cover) of HBP like the previous books, both with a recommended retail price of £16.99, with the US version at $29.99 (although some stores have already set their pre-order price at $17.99). Bloomsbury has informed us that HBP will be "a bit shorter than Order of the Phoenix.

Harry Potter...

Great to get kids reading...but the mass of non-children fans sorta surprises me. The books are ok, but they are like comic books, with a max of three syllables per word - if you are lucky.

So many better books for those who want some great reading...

Again, great to get kids interested in reading...but....
