I can't see a post on this already, so I apologise if there is, but 
on www.veritaserum.com there is an article about the release of the 
HBP audiobook in the US.  This itself is not a spoiler, but there 
was something that made me think...

Ok, this was casually slipped into the article:

"Jim Dale, the narrarator of the first five HP audiobooks, will 
voice Half-Blood Price as well, providing the voices for 117 
characters in the book.  The unabridged audiobook is 19 hours long."


117 characters!!  Sounds like a lot of stuff is going to be 
happening in this book!  Incidently, does anyone know how many 
characters there are in the other books?  I've never even thought of 
this before, but this would be what causes a spoiler, ie if there 
are usually much less of much more speaking characters!

Just thought I'd share!
