FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
by J.K. Rowling, the sixth book in
the bestselling series, has been
scheduled for release on July 16, 2005 in the
United States, Britain,
Canada and Australia.
In
making the joint announcement, Barbara
Marcus, President of Scholastic Children's Books in the United States,
and Nigel Newton, Chief Executive of Bloomsbury Publishing in Britain,
said, "We are delighted to announce the publication date. J.K. Rowling
has written a brilliant story that will dazzle her fans in a marvelous
book that takes the series to yet greater heights. Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince delivers all the excitement and wonder of her
bestselling previous Harry Potter novels."
In
the fifth and most recent book, Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix, the last chapter, titled "The Second War Begins," started:
'In
a brief statement Friday night, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge
confirmed that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned to this country
and is active once more.
"It is with great regret that I must confirm
that the wizard styling himself Lord - well, you know who I mean - is
alive among us again," said Fudge.'
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
takes up the story of Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry at this point in the midst of the storm of this
battle of good and evil.
The author has already said that the
Half-Blood Prince is neither Harry nor Voldemort. And most importantly,
the opening chapter of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been brewing in J.K. Rowling's mind for 13 years.
