Harry Potter 6 - WHO'S PUMPED?

I just did a reread of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to prepare for the upcoming release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

I enjoyed the Order of the Phoenix the second time around and I am SOOO excited for the 6th book to be released.

Who's with me here? I am not entirely convinced of the fate Sirius Black met in the last book...

I didn't preorder the book... I figure stores will be ready for me .

We have yet to have time to finish the last book on tape. I know, I'm a bad Harry Potter fan.

You have until July 16th . I can imagine that the book on tape version of that one is LONG, as the book was 700+ pages.

I got on a Potter kick for awhile. I'll have to reread the first ones to get back in that worldmood again.

I can't wait. I agree with you @ Sirius-if he was dead, J.K. would have made that clear. If he doesn't come back in this book, he'll make a grand appearance in the seventh. I can't wait to read it. HP

I still need to read The Order of the Phoenix! I haven't even bought it yet. Eh, I got side tracked. I'll read it eventually though!

We made the deal that I get to read it first because I am a faster reader, however I know exactly what will happen. I will read it and then put it down to go to the bathroom, get a drink, and my dear husband will pick it up and start reading it. Then I'll get mad and make him give it back to me.

When we got order of the phoenix, we took turns reading it, but mostly because I had jet lag and kept falling asleep while reading the book or sometimes we'd try to read it together and I would end up finishing the pages far before him.

We should follow your lead dar and get two books, but we won't.

That thingy at the end of OOTP ... I think that was a Gate, wasn't it? At least it seemed that way to me ...

I'm glad that I am not the only one who is suspicious about the fate of Sirius Black. I seem to be the only one in my group of friends that have read it and question it. Sirius Black is just way too cool.

Not the HP madman in the family, but I get enough by association.

Oh, welcome to the cellar, Kieran! Hope you have fun!

Sirius is dead. He passed "beyond the veil" which is a euphemism for death.

You tell small children that Santa Claus is dead, don't you?
