Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince.
July 16, 2005.
Trivia (OotP movie scarf as the grand prize), DVDs, possible dramatic readings and assured general mayhem before the midnight release - my place.
And it’s already the Amazon top bestseller. Good to know I am not even close to the most rabid fan out there.
It was fun to do the riddles in the study on Jo’s site if you’re interested. Don’t click the ‘more’ on this post unless you want the cheats.
Clockwise from far left:
Q: Say you’d never seek to lose me
While you live we cannot part
I must dwell lifelong inside you
Locked within your beating heart.
A: Blood
Q: What form does Hermione Granger’s patronus take?
A: Otter
Q: I cannot be other than what I am
Until the man who made me dies.
Power and glory will fall to me, finally,
Only when he last closes his eyes.
A: Prince
Q: What is Ronald Weasley’s least favourite sandwich filling?
A: Corned Beef
Q: Over which British city did the 1-year-old Harry Potter fall asleep as Hagrid took him to number four, Privet Drive?
A: Bristol
Q: Two in a whole and four in a pair
And six in a trio, you see?
And eight’s a quarter, but what you must get
Is the name that fits just one of me.
A: Half
While I checked a “star chart” to plan my wedding, I clearly did not check with JK. Rowling. Billy and I are getting married on this day. I hope you will be in Seattle instead of hosting a book release party in Austin!
