Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released on July 16th.
That would be 207 days from this post.
4968 hours.
298080 minutes.
17884800 seconds.
::sigh:: I guess we’ll just have to hold ourselves over with Star Wars Episode 3. That’s only 149 days away.
J.K Rowling is finished with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and they’ll be annoucing the exact publication date with 24 hours. The Daily Snitch has a screenshot of the annoucement from jkrowkling.com.
I’m guessing March, always a big time for hardcovers.
JK Rowling has updated her website with a headline about nothing. (Channeling Jerry Seinfeld, maybe?)
However, the nothing is that she hasn’t been updating the website due to her heavy writing schedule. (For all that, though, there are several changes in there.)
Here’s hoping she finishes the next book before her baby arrives!
There’s a little film coming out on DVD on the 23rd. You may have heard of it: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Coverage abounds. Head over to The Leaky Cauldron and MuggleNet for the most complete coverage of the launch party. (May I have a chocolate fountain for Christmas?)
And there are rumors of a June 11 or 18 2005 release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. (You’ll have to scroll down the page to see the story.) Should be nice weather for a lineup in June.
For Halloween, J.K. Rowling gave her fans a surprise – three chapter titles from the next novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Price. In true HP style you have to work for them – or, you can just check out these handy screenshots.
Ancient Greek students everywhere rejoice at the prospect of something new to read. In a story pointed to by MuggleNet, they’ll soon be releasing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s (Philosopher’s) Stone in Ancient Greek.
There’s also a version in Latin, for those so inclined.
J.K.Rowling did a reading and a Q&A session at the Edinburgh Book Festival today, and dropped many a tantalizing hint about her next book. Read the transcript. Watch for possible spoilers!
Fan reviews of “The Prisoner of Azkaban” seemed to be fairly split on the “loved it” or “hated it” opinions of Alfonso Cuaron’s interpretation.
Get ready to start the debate all over again. The Harry Potter Official Site has posted a trailer for the upcoming DVD.
Some very fun features. But what intrigued me most was a clip from the interview with JK Rowling in which she says that Cuaron has actually included some bits that foretell what is to come in upcoming books.
Won’t that have everyone running to check out the movie again?
The rumor mill have been running wild with this information, and it’s finally confirmed… Ralph Fiennes will be playing Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
