the best book of 2005 in USA Today's Readers' Choice poll.
While editors placed it at eighth, they offered another interesting choice: "Best book for kids not yet ready for Harry Potter." (It's Leonardo, the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems.)
Other categories include "Worst book by a celebrity," "Best unmasking of a historical monster" and "Most overstated title."

Hahahahahaha! That's funny that they have a catigory called 'Best book for kids who are not ready to read Harry Potter'. I definately want to see who won the 'Worst Book Written By A Celebrity' one.

I'm not surprised. It was the most talked about book of the year and by far the best seller of the year, even before the paperback version is released.

Well, it´s obvious that HP is one of the book series with more fans in the world, so a higher number of the judges can be a HP´s fan.

Yeah, now here's an opinion I can get on board with; #1!! Yea, for HP & the HBP!! Wow, it's still hard to believe that this book is book #6!! We only have one lovely adventure left to go?!?! If HBP was voted #1, just wait how many lists the next book tops!!

Congratulations to JKR for writing such a wonderful book, while the editors only place HBP at no. 8 the fans show their strength by voting Harry to no. 1.

That's really cool how Harry is getting on all of these "Best Of" lists. Even though he isn't the #1 spot he's still on there.

I don't think the Half BLood Prince was a very good book I think all the other books are better than the 6ht book. I hope the 7th book is good.
