JK Rowling is doing a fantastic job on this and deserves it, although all of the other books are worth reading too.
Awesome! I hope she wins! Although…don’t smack me anyone but the themes in Deathly Hallows are definitely not for the little kid category. I give her “teen” though :)
LIke almost everone in the fandom, I slightly resent the fact it is in “children’s”. How many children’s book do you know where so many people die? Oh well. Way to go JK!
As if Harry would loose!
Live, Love, Harry Potter! (and you too Jo!)
GO DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SAD, BUT REALLY GOOD! ERAGON IS THE NEXT BEST, IN MY OPINION. THEN SONG OF THE LIONESS, THEN MAGYK, THEN DRAGON RIDER, THEN—sorry.
I know deep down Jo will surely win like Dealthly Hallows won of each and every body’s heart. Pray to Jo!!!
