The Half Blood Prince

Just to beat everyone to this.Some of you will have midnight a long time before we do but within a few kms of me are a handful of people who have had a copy since last weekend. I wish I was one of them.Anyone else who is looking forward to this as much as I am (and is over 12 )? (My admin alter ego will issue a permanent banning to anyone who posts a spoiler about this book --- GOT THAT?! ?!)This message has been edited by NosyNed, 07-15-2005 05:32 PM

I cried a little too. But I think... no can't say any thing that might spoil.

If we were to follow about 75% of what is posted here we would now go into a very, very lengthy discussion of whether my admin alter is "myself" or not. We would examine, in great depth, the rules of the forum and some would conclude it said one thing and others another thing.Some would argue that "myself" is split into a separate admin spirit and a base, rule bound body. Some might suggest that if one was banned the other would be unable to communicate in the regular realm while others would say that would free the remaining "self" to transcend the ordinary rules of the forum.At 300 posts the same things would be being repeated for the 23th time.

MMMM, If you don't get tinglies reading the first 50 pages of the first book then I think the rest can be forgotten. The scene on the dark island just before and when Hagrid arrives wasn't done as well as I would like in the movies. But if that doesn't do it for you then I'd suggest the books aren't going to work for you. Too bad.This message has been edited by NosyNed, 07-20-2005 10:14 PM
