by W. Frederick Zimmerman

An unofficial and unauthorized work of news reporting summarizing what is currently known and speculated about "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (tm), book six in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The author, W.F. Zimmerman, has read, analyzed, and synthesized literally thousands of news articles, Usenet postings, blogs, and on-line chats, including every public comment by J. K. Rowling since 1997. The book is divided into five parts: 1) information specifically about Harry Potter book six; 2) information pertaining to both books six and seven; 3) information pertaining to book seven alone; 4) information about books by J. K. Rowling beyond book seven; and 5) tips on how to have fun while you wait.
