Daily Prophet Readers, as many of you know Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released on Saturday June 21st, 2003 in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. This book is the most anticipated book of the year. The book is one-third larger than Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It will be over 255,000 words long. Goblet of Fire was only 191,000. Order of the Phoenix will be 38 chapters long. The UK edition of the book will be 768 pages long.
Here are two exerts from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
“The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive … The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four.”
Later on in the book is a conversation between Harry and Professor Dumbledore:
“Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses.
‘It is time,’ he said, ‘for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry.
Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything.’”
I know that when I get a copy of this book at my local Borders (Muggle book store) the only thing that will stop me from reading this book is a fire. Remember readers only 51 more days to go.

DVD Bedazzles The DVD Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the most amazing DVD I have ever seen in my life! It has the best digital picture and sound quality I have ever seen. The pictures are so life-like that you feel like you are there actually participating in the movie. The Bonus Features are superb. 19 extended scenes, games, and much, much more. This is the only way to see a Harry Potter movie.

Daily Prophet readers, Lord Voldemort (yes I know I said his name!!!!) has striken again. He and the Death Eaters killed fifty Muggles and twenty-five Ministry officials. This happened last night at about 1 am in downtown London. The Ministry had to send out over 100 memory erasers to keep this thing quiet. The explenation that was given to Muggle reporters was a gas explosion. Some of the officials killed by the Death Eaters were Frank Alohamer, Lisa Lockens, Robert Easer, Donald Trungh, and Rena Line. All of which are adviser's of Minister Fudge. We will have more at a later date.
