J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be
published on July 16, 2005, in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United
States, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, by J.K. Rowling, is the sixth in the bestselling Harry Potter series.
In the previous book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the last chapter, titled "The Second War Begins," started:
"In
a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge
confirmed that He Who Must Not Be Named has returned to this country and
is once more active ... 'It is with great regret that I must confirm
that the wizard styling himself Lord - well, you know who I mean - is
alive and 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 as Voldemort's
power and followers are increasing day by day, in the midst of this
battle of good and evil.
The author has already said that the
Half-Blood Prince is neither Harry nor Voldemort.Intriguingly, the
opening chapter of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been
brewing in J.K. Rowling's mind for 13 years.
All five Harry
Potter books are available in various editions: Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,
as well as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
