Welcome back Potter.
The 6th Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits stores this weekend. I have seen and loved all three films but have only read the first book. That puts me a bit behind the curve when it comes to following the full story of Harry and company, but I do know that once the new book is out Harry-mania will start-up again.
I hear the initial pressing of the book is something insane, like over 10 million copies. And they will probably fly off of the shelves as all the rest have in the past. Author JK Rowling has surely come a long way from scribbling story ideas on napkins while sitting in coffee shops years ago. I would bet her house is probably as big as some of the buildings on the campus of Hogwarts.
So, in light of the book's release here are my
Top Ten reasons why we are ready for the new Harry Potter book this summer.
10. Madonna still has not caught on to the fact that she cannot write.
9. You can read at least 10 pages during the 20 minutes of previews we are forced to sit through when seeing summer blockbuster movies.
8. Hurricanes Dennis and Emily have already given us enough sucky weather to turn the activity of summer reading to an indoor one.
7. Big Brother 6 episodes kill three nights of weekly TV programming.
6. Average wait for a ride at Six Flags is 42 minutes, enough time to read a chapter or two.
5. Mary-Kate and Ashley are too busy at NYU to write a new mystery novel.
4. The hardback version compliments your new Target beach towels perfectly.
3. President Bush has been begging Jenna to read it to him before she reads it in her DC classroom.
2. Still no paperback version of The DaVinci Code
and the number one reason why we are ready for the new Harry Potter book this summer.
Karl Rove's pre-release book-review email leaks that is a "real must read."
