So that means fans not only have a long time to wait, they also know that the plot is going to advance by about two days whenever the next book arrives.

I think I can relate. I mean, waiting two years for the sixth and final season of The Sopranos.

Anyway I already put myself down for a copy of the sixth book at Barnes & Noble last night. I might just take a few days off from work after July 16 of next year so I can read this book.

First, I can't believe jeepnut beat me to the news. Of course, I'm not up on my internet browsing because of vacation.

Second, I don't know what I should do... I'll be in France when it comes out. Such a dilemma!

But I can't wait!!!

I bet it comes out there before it comes out in the U.S. Because I remember when book five was released, I was in Australia with the high school band and some students bought it and had finished it in like two days and were bragging about how they got to enjoy it before their U.S. friends at home.

If you buy the foreign edition, you'll have to settle for the not-as-good cover art though. The U.S. cover art is the best.

I may just have to go ahead and get both. I like the books enough that I wouldn't mind having two copies.

I really look forward to it...the first 5 Harry Potter books make up probably my favourite book series of all time.

I agree. They are just so insanely fun and addictive. I got the third Harry Potter DVD for christmas (my favorite of the three movies, although I have all three so far), and it has made me want to read all five books again! It's amazing.

The only series I have ever read that I consider to be just as good as the Potter series is the Ender series.
