Thanks JM, but as I mentioned in the return PM, the Do Not Disturb is already back up! I must have clicked over that black space a thousand times and never hit the switch.... I thought there must have been some other way in...

The name of the second book is HP and the Green Flame Torch

In what world would that be? Are you sure you're talking about HP as in Harry Potter and not about some other HP?

Yeah, the second book isn't The Green Flame. It's um... oh dear, I seem to have forgotten! The sixth book is Harry Potter and The Half Pint Blood Prince. It is out already, but only few stores have it.

Book 2 is the Chamber of Secrets. Book Six is actually called the Half Blood Prince, not Half Pint Blood Prince, and is not supposed to be out until next year. And how could a store in Oz get the books before stores in Britain?

It certainly not out in Britian, or else I would have been first in the queue!

My daughter mentioned the latest book last week, you have me confused now, she mentioned that one has been finished and is at the proof-reading stage - now would this be book 6 (as I had thought) or is it book 7?

It is defininatly book 6 Sue. Should be out next year sometime.

She knows someone whose father has read it, he is in the publishing business.

*is very jealous of sue's daughter's friend's father.....*

I am too! Never mind, we'll all enjoy it when it is released!

There are new answers in the FAQ section of the website. And the poll question has been answered.

The poll question was what did dumbledore mean by "Remember my Last"? JKR confirms that dumbledore meant his last letter, BUT she also confirms that he said "last" because there had been letters before that.

the plot thickens

The door is open on Rowling's web site again. I need some help solving a riddle.

I'll leave some space if you don't want to see it...























One by one we come to life,
Then side by side we wait
While our company swells in numbers
(Some come early, some come late);
And some of us may bore you
And some of us enthral,
But you cannot choose between us
You must take us one and all.
We'll be bound together tightly
For we're naught if we break free.
If you'd like some clues about us,
Simply answer: WHO ARE WE?


The answer is 8 letters.

PM'd, Silvermoonsong.

Thanks. It makes sense. I was so close, but just didn't quite have it.

I want to know! I want to know! I think I have it but I'd like someone elses opinion...

Very exciting what is behind the door! (well to me it is anyway! )

If you don't know the answer to the riddle, and would like it, feel free to PM me. I got it from Taesma.

I think it's also very exciting what is behind the door. It just means we are getting closer and closer to the release (hopefully soon). If you want a hint for the answer to the clue, look down below (I found it on mugglenet.com):

















It is a name of a store and also it is groups of pages.

----That should help a lot. It did for
me!

The door has opened again and guess what??? The book is FINISHED!!!

Publication date should be released in the next 24 hours!!!

Rach, It would be nice if you gave the readers here some time to figure out the clues and surprise before announcing it. I know I enjoy trying to figure out her riddles. Next time, please simply announce the door has opened, and leave the rest as a surprise.

Thanks.

Umm.. How do you open the door?, I mean its closed for me without a lock.

Thanks

It's within very few hours, that Rowling announces when does Harry Potter puts on his robes to fight Y..Kn..W..!

I'm on the edge of my chair!

Saturday, 16th July 2005!

That's the date! But they say, it is only for United Kindom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. [No child should be discriminated on the basis of color, sex, caste, creed or COUNTRY. Are we Indian fans not kids(or a bit bigger than that)?]

It is good and it is bad to see that HBP will be a little shroter than Order of The Phoenix.

Well I am surprised nobody heard me in the UK when I found how to "open" J K Rowling's door! That is definately a early Christmas present for us fans, and July will be here before we know it!
I find Rowling's books fascinating and enjoyable, every word means something!
