Yay release date has been made. 21st of june. They read a bit of it on Richard and Judy (i heard this from my friend so forgive me if it isn't accurate) and it started off with Dumbledor wanting to tell harry something that he should have told him when he started the school. My friend reckons its something about voldemort.
All i have to say is i hope its as good as the first four.

Why would you need to know what a plug was to hide though? If a car's driving at me I can avoid it without noting the model and working out it's breaking distance and the drivers field of vision. Animals hide from humans all the time and I bet they don't know what a plug is. Think of the thousands of insects crawling around your house undetected right now - think they have portfolios detailing your routine and habits so as to keep one step ahead?
With regards the audio books, Stephen Fry is fantastic in those. On the last big family holiday we had I got stuck with the kids in my car and played them the first book - worked a treat.

I have liked the books, though I've listened to them on audio tape read by steven fry on the way to work instead of actually reading them, though the readings were word for word.
The only thing that really bugs me is that the magicians know nothing about the muggles.
To hide yourself from someone, you need to know enough about them so as not to be found. To hide an entire race of people from an entire country you would need to know everything about the people you were hiding from, so that you could planb your defences strategically.
Yet someone from the department of the misuse of muggle artifacts doesn't know what a plug is.

I’ve got my pre-order in for book five already – it’s going to be one huge first printing run!
I don’t really understand people’s compulsion to compare LOTR and Harry Potter – the only significant similarity is that they both have major film adaptations being released at a similar time. Okay, both authors have to be admired for their detailed and complex fantasy worlds, but JK Rowling’s is more a tweak on the real world than Tolkien’s intricately created total fantasy. Obviously there are further trivial similarities that would be found in comparisons between most fantasy books, but nothing to warrant the bizarre one-or-the-other attitude a lot of people have.

I've heard Gary Oldman will be in one of the films. not that I even care, really as i prefer LoTR over Harry Stinking Potter. In fact i haven't even read any of the books so maybe I'm just being a biased judgemental fool? So be it!

The first and third books were good, but the second was the most boring work of literature I've read for a long time, and the fourth was too long for me to sustain real interest

the last book was the best of the lot inmy opinion.
and the bit with Dumbledore telling Harry something is in the middle. It starts in Privet Drive.

It has to be said that with 255,000 words, or something like that, Rowling has far too many opportunities to ruin the series, which was almost done in the last book.
