Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Yup! That's the title of the 6th book... cool, eh?

JK Rowling confirmed today on her official site that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is the official title for Book 6. She also said:

I was delighted to see that a hard core of super-bright fans knew that the real title was once, in the long distant past, a possibility for 'Chamber of Secrets', and from that deduced that it was genuine. Certain crucial pieces of information in book six were originally planned for 'Chamber of Secrets', but very early on (first draft of Chamber) I realised that this information's proper home was book six. I have said before now that 'Chamber' holds some very important clues to the ultimate end of the series. Not as many as six, obviously, but there is a link.

Anyway: if you continue to exercise patience, you will find that the Do Not Disturb Door opens again… and again… giving you further hints about book six. But as a little bonus, and compensation for having been messed around by Mr. or Ms. Storgé, I shall tell you one thing without making you shift any bricks at all: the HBP is neither Harry nor Voldemort. And that's all I'm saying on THAT subject until the book's published.

HBP = Half Blood Prince.


Which makes sense really.. you wouldn't think it'd be called "Harry Potter and Harry Potter"

In other news, I was disappointed with last night's Angel. I thought it was extremely lame. I'm kind of glad that Angel is finishing this season because it just doesn't seem to have the consistency that it had in previous seasons. While I did think it was cool to see the Rome office of Wolfram and Hart, Spike and Angel were farcical retrieving the monster's head, not to mention the absolute cop out whereby "Buffy" was only seen from behind, as Sarah Michelle Gellar who played Buffy vowed not to return to the franchise after her show ended. LAME.
