So, who's getting Harry Potter book #5?

[Storm Eagle]

I am. I so definitely am.

I went to Barnes & Noble last week and they're already taking reservations for those who want to get the book, and those who reserve will get 40% off the regular price when they come to get it. It comes out on June 21, and they're having this Midnight Magic party on the eve of the release date. They actually start selling the book at 12:01am on June 21, so the party is just something to keep people occupied until they start selling it. I just wonder what will actually go on at that "party" anyway. Perhaps they'll have some grub. Otherwise I'll just have to go to the Dunkin' Donuts two doors down.

If any of you have read the fourth book (Goblet of Fire), you know that that book is the biggest out of the current Harry Potter books. Book #5 (Order of the Phoenix) is supposed to be even bigger. Even so, I can't wait to see what's new in Harry's life when he enters his fifth year at Hogwarts.

One more thing. If you don't have "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them" and "Quidditch Through The Ages", get those. They're really just these "school books" that just help you understand things in the series better. You can even get them both in a set.

I'll be getting it. I won't be reserving or attending any Potter parties though. I honestly don't think they're going to sell out, after a fourth sequel, popularity tends to slow down I bet. ;)

BTW, the name of book 5 is Order of the Phoenix, just in case you didn't know.

[Joeiss]

There is 5 of them? Damn... That's gonna be alot of movies.

[Ginkasa]

I'll buy it at some point, but probably not the release date. Sometime after...


And I thought that the fourth one was supposed to be the biggest and the rest were going to be more like 1-3...

And Joeiss, there are going to be seven by the end of it...

Well the author did say there won't be an eighth book. However, I can't help but think there will be more. Not necessarily representing an eighth year at Hogwarts, but something like a prequel featuring Harry's father, James. Anyway, as much as I appreciate the series, I'd hope the author doesn't write anymore books if she's going to swear there won't be an eighth installment.

Oh, and I did mention the fifth book's title.

My brother will probably get it, and I will probably read it when he is done...probably.

I'll be getting it. They're pretty good books... nothing amazing though.

[ZebraRampage]

And if your looking for something to pass the time besides the school books, pick up the sorcerers companion, its great.
