Thats great! I love that book better than all the rest, except for the first, I just love that book. I think every one of JKR's harry potter books have been nominated for the best book of the year award, or whatever its called, I mean, they definatly deserve it. I wonder if it wins though? I bet it does.

I think that HBP certainly deserves it! Good luck!

I definatley think she deserves it. The very fact that she has been able to get kids back into reading is a miracle in itself. I think the recognition will go to her.

The trouble with this sort of voted award is that Harry Potter wins too often. I'm sorry everyone, but because we're such an active online community it distorts voting towards HP compared to the overall view of the general public and I don't thin that's very fair. Still, I do think HBP was a good book and I wouldn't begrudge it winning if only it could be done so more fairly.
Here here!!

That's awesome. HBP better win... well, It probably will! Like Brittany Radcliffe said, we shouldnt judge a book by its cover, but I definately think HBP sounds like the best out of all of them.

Well it would be nice if she actually won this time, wouldn't it? I have a feeling it's not meant to be, though. Maybe when book 7 rolls around, JKR will finally get some important non-children's book awards.

I don't know who else is in running, but JKR is skyrocketing with approval, of course she has earned with such a climax on book 6!
