Just yesterday, Mike and I passed by Bibliarch situated in Glorietta, and a banner caught my attention. It's about the release of Harry Potter book 6, and how to get a reservation for just a thousand bucks. Being a Harry Potter fan, it was such a shame that I've no idea about the 6th book until I saw that notice. That's why I immediately went online to find out more about it. And here are some info about the said book.
The title of book 6 is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, not Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storgé like what has been rumored, and it will be released in bookstores July 16, 2005. Unlike the Order of the Phoenix (book 5), book six will be "quite a bit shorter". Book 6 will present Harry and his friends on their sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and most in his class will be 16 years old.
Did you know that the title was once considered by author J.K. Rowling for the name of book 2, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which incidentally "holds some very important clues to the ultimate end of the series." She admits "crucial pieces of information" to be revealed in book 6 were actually pulled from that story very early on, as it wasn't the "proper home" for them. The opening chapter, Rowling has stated, is actually reborn from discarded early chapters removed from the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. We may see a more explicit scene of Voldemort killing Harry's parents.
