Yeah, well all of the boring adults will vote for the other ones. I don't think the number of HP fanatic adults outnumbers the anti-HP ones. Let's all get the potterites in on the action!

Half Blood Prince will so win. That is a fantastic achievement. Once the voting opens, if it does, then I will totally be there to vote. It broke all sorts of book records so it totally deserves to win.

Hmmm...

She hase no competition, or maybe I'm just biased. I mean, probably everyone here thinks she has no competition either. I still really hope she wins, but people like to look away from Harry Potter when it comes to awards, unless it's voted for by the public, then Harry Potter wins!

Hey this is a no brainer. How could you pass up a book like HBP that has been such an integral part of so many lives? It just is inconceivable to me. Go JK and HBP!
