Ten-year-old Chloe Kaczvinsky picked up her a copy at a midnight bookstore pajama party in Monroe, Louisiana, and finished "Half-Blood Prince" the following afternoon. "It was very dark. And mysterious," she said. But the darkness didn't make it hard to read, and didn't make her cry.
Those lucky to be at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland are being treated to a reading by Rowling. Fire dancers are expected to perform in the Changing Hands parking lot in Tempe, Arizona, and a New Orleans, Louisiana, bookstore is co-sponsoring a neighborhood Potter adventure, The Associated Press rep "There is a huge amount of security around the book right up to the moment the clock strikes midnight," Richard Cristofoli, an executive at British bookseller WH Smith, told Reuters. Like so many Potter readers, Heyman has filled time between new releases by rereading the older Potter books and trying out other fantasy series. She mentions Christopher Paolini's "Inheritance," for which the second of three planned volumes comes out next month. Dracula, however, has nothing on the great white shark.

"There is a huge amount of security around the book right up to the moment the clock strikes midnight," Richard Cristofoli, an executive at British bookseller WH Smith, told Reuters. "Prince" is the second-to-last novel in the Potter series. Its serialization has helped the book's popularity, says Philip Nel, who teaches a Harry Potter course at Kansas State University. If you're looking for something with teeth, several new books have earned early plaudits -- including two that bite hard. k pressing, and Bill Clinton's "My Life" -- a best seller last year -- received a first run of 1.5 million copies. Potter fans, of course, face a far darker prospect than the departure of a single character. The series itself must end -- Rowling expects to start working on the seventh Potter book at the end of the year. "I love his work," she said. "I'm planning on setting up a tent outside the bookstore to get his book." =
