Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the sixth book in the Harry Potter series, will be sold on 16th July 2005 in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Here are some facts about the book:

• The recommended price is GBP16.99 / US$29.99
• The book is “a bit shorter” than Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix
• Within 12 hours of the announcement of its publication date, the book has become the No.1 best seller in Amazon and Barnes and Noble

I’ve got all the above news at The Leaky Cauldron, I also recommend its FAQ on the HBP if you want to know more about the book.

Now, I just want to know when the book will be sold in Hong Kong.
