Ok this is gonna sound silly but what will the rules be on here concerning talking about the HBP content. I'm one of those people who reads books in a few hours but naturally I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't read it yet. Is there any special rules that will apply after the release?

That's not silly at all, Jen. :) A spoiler policy will be released within the next 24 hours. Also, some forum changes will occur, allowing you to post immediate discussion of Half-Blood Prince.

The board will, of course, remain open. Does that answer your question?

Yeah thats great thanks :) Its so close now can almost smell that new book smell haha!

*Sniffs* Ah, the freshness of the best book ever! :) And, Jen, I'm closing this. Thanks for asking, as you really got us moving. If you have any more questions, feel free to open up a new thread.
