Somewhat Random by Bryan

A little news bite.

JK Rowling announces Harry Potter Book 7 Title

Not completely unrelated to MIT…well yea, but since finals are over and my brain is still mush, I’m allowed. It’s really only during the winter and summer breaks that I have the opportunity to read for enjoyment.

Harry Potter has had several other appearances in my time at MIT:
I was pretty excited when Book 6 came out.
And I also wore rockstar sunglasses when the Goblet of Fire movie came out.

    it’s been so long that i almost forgot that there’s one more book smile i bought all the former ones and read them a couple of times :D i’m excited, but i don’t want the story to end… i hope she’ll write a few more books about someone else from that world…

  2. hey… i did the whole fancy thing on rowling’s website… cikcked on the farthest ddorknob… saw the garland… cobweb… chimes… n finally the box… then played hangman to get the title…!!! whoaaa… talk of adventure…

  3. Snively says:

    w00t! I’ll be buying it. . .midnight launch for sure! Anybody want to go with me?

  4. Karin says:

    But the real question, of course, is when it will actually be released…

  5. Laura says:

    I’m so sad the series is about to be over- no more of the HP speculation that makes my life so interesting. =)

  6. Arkajit says:

    Oh, wow! Can you believe I found out about this here first? And I even visit Mugglenet fairly frequently. This is probably going to be the main topic of conversation on Mugglecast this week. I hope the release date comes out soon. Extremely excited!! smile

    And Laura, I completely agree – speculating on Book 7 has been one of my favorite distractions.

  7. Melissa H says:

    YESSSSSS I found that out 13 minutes after the information was released =) I can’t wait.

    Arkajit, my friend called me yesterday to tell me about the new title. It is the first time in my whole “Harry Pottter obsession/career” that somebody tells me something I didn’t know about HP! I’m usually glued to Mugglenet.com, but I had finals this week, so MN was not a priority (mitadmissions.org was, though =D ).

  9. Reg says:

    don’t you find it funny that the releasing of the book 7 name got into the newspapers as an actual article?

  10. Josh V says:

    I LOVE Harry Potter. Yes…hahah. I am definitely pumped.

  11. AJ says:

    I’ve been reading since fourth grade, when my parents bought me the book for Christmas.

    I haven’t been to any of these Harry Potter websites, but I am curious – is there some kind of allegorical meanings in the book, or is it simply adventure?

  12. Ranga says:

    Wow! I’m just waiting to get my hands on book 7! I just wish it wasn’t the last in the series!

  13. Luwen says:

    *sob* No more guesssing who’s going to die next…
    Bets on the Weasley twins.

    I LOVE HARRY POTTER!

  14. Melissa '11 says:

    AJ – There’s a lot of speculation on what the books really mean. Check out Mugglenet or borrow some of the books. They’re interesting =)

    Who thinks Harry’s going to get a visit from the Grim (Reaper)?
