[the_old_crowd] HBP Release Date

[Neil Ward]

<< Holiday Greetings, All!
 
I guess by now everyone's heard that the release date
for Book 6 is 16 July.  I've been giving the person of
the title some thought & I think the Half-Blood Prince
just might be Neville.  

Thoughts? >>

Hope everyone's holiday is a happy one, especially you,
Neil.  Please let us know how things are going.  >>

I echo Parker's holiday wishes, although I'm not sure
about the possibility of Neville being the HBP.  My
current thought is that it's a character connected to
Hogwarts' Slytherin House, since the Slytherins are the
most focused on purity of blood: assuming HPB is a
nickname associated with a person, it seems to me the
Slytherins would make a point of drawing attention to
half-blood status in someone of high social standing.

Aside from that, I can report that I am settled into my
new (rented) place in Stamford Hill and looking forward
to a quiet Christmas rootling through boxes of my junk.
 Tonight, one of my brothers and his wife are coming to
dinner, so I'm cooking a seasonal meal and will
probably eat regular food (and too much of it) over the
weekend.  

I'm almost set to put my old place up for sale and I'm
still waiting to give a formal statement to the police,
but they can both wait until 2005.

I hope everyone's plans are running smoothly - have a
great time!

Neil x
