Go HBP! I mean come on! It's gotta win! I just don't see the others beating it...HP has such a big fanbase so I just can't see anyone else beating it!

I hope HBP wins, obviously. Even thought Dumbledore died, it was still the best book yet. I'm sorry, but I'm a rocker.

Well, I haven't exactly read any of the other books on this list, but there's no doubt that Half Blood Prince was the best out of all of them. I know JK Rowling gets a lot of awards for her books, but I mean.. they're amazing! So good luck HBP!
