We just got the newest shipment of Baker and Taylor catalogs in and 
OOP is featured on the cover. While it doesn't show anything we 
haven't already seen at the Leaky Cauldron (maybe a little bit more 
of the spine) the article and summary inside could be a bit different 
from what we've heard already. I wanted to post it here as I can't 
remember.

Quoting the article:
"Is there anyone in the universe who doesn't recognize the face on 
this month's cover? A multimedia blockbuster, Harry Potter has made 
his way into the hearts and homes of children of all ages. Now, the 
highly anticipated fifth novel, Harry Potter and the Order of the 
Phoenix <snip ISBN info> is available June 21st!

In the richest installment yet of the seven-part series, Harry Potter 
confronts the unreliability of the very government of the magical 
world, and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts as he enters 
his fifth year of wizard school. Despite this (or perhaps because of 
it), Harry finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even 
he knew -- boundless loyalty and unbearable sacrifice."

Now, this doesn't seem to be much different from what I've read 
before at first glance, but that last part gives me chills. And I 
have to ask, impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts??? Where's 
Dumbledore!!!??? 

Innermurk
(driving everyone around me crazy by counting down the days) and 
impatiently awaiting that ever elusive seeming Saturday.
