Message-ID: Surely some of you have seen this, but I can't find much info on it. I stumbled upon this trailer on YouTube and then checked out the website: www.elderscrossing.com Is this for real? A leaked teaser trailer and website for a new HP book 8 called James Potter and the Hall of Elders Crossing? I've found posts about it elsewhere (mugglenet, etc) but nobody seems to know anything for sure! At first, I thought it was a fandom thing, but -- well, just look at the movie and the site! I know I am being a gullible dreamer here, but... Can it be?Here's one of the screen captures I've found of the website: http://www.geocities.com/winnston_1985/grab1.jpg From valanys at valanys.yahoo.invalid Thu Nov 29 18:30:18 2007 From: valanys at valanys.yahoo.invalid (valanys) Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 18:30:18 -0000 Subject: Fantasy Fiction books at COST PRICE or LESS !
