Sounds pretty interesting, but once again, I'll
probsbly have to fight the inherent urge to buy
this book, although I'm very tempted to get it
anyway.

So around 1000 pages, eh? A thick fix of
reading, If I must say. (assuming it's
released early in june, that would be a
nice month of reading.)

And we'll just have to see if these suggestions
materialize into reality. (hopefully not, or that
would be a waste of the perfect book title!)

Much incentive here to become an insider in the

What stark revelations await Harry Potter? Well,
here's a little theory of mine. Perhaps Harry's
parents were members of a clandestine wizarding
order on the inside of the higher echelon (wizarding
intelligence agency?) spying on opposing wizards,
particularly dark sorcerers who took part in an
equally omnipresent order? Perhaps this clandestine
order a.k.a the Order of the Phoenix had not been
entirely dead, but now wishes to gather and destroy
the dark order assimilated by voldemort? Maybe my
theories are crazy, but it's always possible.
