There is a lot of Harry Potter news to be broken
here on the upcoming book, so here is the latest compilation of news for
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Betting Continues onHarry Potter HBP
After JK Rowling announced that we could again
expect a major character in the Potter series to die, betting soon
began with different odds on each character. First off, you would consider
this betting kind of strange as some one has to know who dies, as there
is no way this secret can be that covered up. Hell, JK Rowling must of told
some one. Well, maybe she has or maybe she hasn't, but this may be the first
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince spoiler [may want to stop
now, but not nearly official].
It aroused attention when the area of Bungay in Suffolk [where the Harry
Potter books are expected to be printed] had a sudden surge of bets
that Professor Dumbledore was the one to kick the bucket in Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince. Now, I don't know what is more alarming--
the fact that the sudden surge of betting occurred, the fact that the betting
was temporarily closed due to this disturbing change, or the fact that people
are simply betting on this book.
So, has the plot to HBP been leaked, was this just a rumor that caught hold,
or does eating cheese in the morning make you want to bet on the death of
Dumbledore? As of now, all of these possibilities are just as likely as
the other. The betting quickly resumed and Bloomsbury [Potter publishers]
are notifying readers to take the latest rumor 'with a pinch of salt'.
On the other hand, if this is true, I have to applaud JK Rowling for taking
what some could call the biggest risk in this entire Potter series.
The only thing that sucks is that Dumbledore will be a major loss to the
Harry Potter books if he does in fact die. Maybe he can come back
in spirit?
Add to Heffee!
