In the depths of her interior
Were fears she was inferior.
And something even eerier.
But no one dared to query her superior exterior.

More info on Harry...

JK Rowling's two English language publishers Scholastic and Bloomsbury announced today that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released at midnight GMT in the United Kindom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa on Saturday, July 16th, 2005. Bloomsbury will be releasing both the hardback children's and adult versions (same text, different cover) of HBP like the previous books, both with a recommended retail price of £16.99, with the US version at $29.99. Bloomsbury has informed us that HBP will be "a bit shorter than Order of the Phoenix."

Very exciting, indeed!

Maybe I'm having a rough day, but I just explored the site www.jkrowling.com
and I can't find the blurb mentioned about the book being at the publisher.
Can anyone direct me to it?

The announcement is under her "mysterious door" (the hair band on her
desk) that opened late yesterday afternoon. You have to solve a series
of riddles before getting to the announcement.

If you can't wait, there is a list of instructions and a screenshot on
Mugglenet.com. The official release is on the Bloomsbury Press website.
