Should be good. Hopefully even bigger than the last one. I love the way the books are increasing in size as they go. 1000 pages this time would be nice :D
WHO DIES?!

What is this --- someone dies in this book also ? Sirius Black is not enough to sate this bloodlust ?!

they are good books, each better than the one before it. but they all have scooby-doo endings which gets a bit old!

Well, she is not a writer of literature, in that she is a plot-based storyteller... and, let's face it, she writes a hell of a lot better than many others who write best-sellers.

much better writer than for example the guy who wrote the da vinci code, which sucked.
but yes, one of the head characters die in the new book. my guess is on dumbledore, but i wont make it my bet yet.

Yeah, I read The Da Vinci Code, which I quite enjoyed (maybe mainly because it covered areas I have previously been interested in). So, I bought Angels & Demons, and could not get past the 100 page mark, it was so dull.

wonderfully written books. I read them all. And it is really really great once you're in the whole thing. J.K. Really has an incredible imagination. Breathtaking stuff.
I hope the new one's going to be good. But i guess so. "If" someone dies, which i doubt. It would probably be Hagrid or something. Can't be Dumbledore. He has a major part o play at the end i think... Logically... And who would be directing the school. It just wouldn't make sense.
Those of you who say that it's "GAY".... hum hum. Read it first!!! :)

I thought the last Harry Potter book was over-indulgent crap.. It's fine to be a stupidly long read if it's engaging, but most of it was meandering and in need of editing all over the place. I hope the next one is at least fun! Someone mentioned Da Vinci code... completely different book but a much more interesting, for me anyway.
