 Ooooh, I can't wait. So glad to see more of Lupin coming, but more 
Dursley's? I was hoping they would continuously be phased out of the 
books....and if one of them becomes magical I will freak. They do not 
deserve it at all! I wonder if Arabella Figg will turn out to be Mrs. 
Figg-imagine the surprise on Harry's face! Maybe she'll be the next 
DADA teacher...nah, I doubt it. I hope OoP is really long, but I've 
heard it won't be as long as GoF. I bet Harry will start noticing 
Ginny and about time too (please, I don't want to start a debate here)
Anyone know when it's coming out? I've heard a lot of 'Nov.2001' and 
also a lot of 'sometime in 2002.' My theory is it'll be released in 
the UK in Nov. and over here (I hope!) in early 2002, like January.
