Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has won the Book of the Year
award at this year's British Book Awards, which was held in London this evening.
Ms. Rowling was in attendance and said:
I'm delighted that Harry Potter continues to give so much pleasure to adults and children, and I'm honoured to receive this award. I am enjoying writing the last book in the series and it's coming along nicely.
Half-Blood Prince was up against Jamie Oliver's Jamie's Italy, Sharon Osbourne's My Autobiography and Jeremy Clarkson's The World According to Clarkson.

Congradualtions J.K Rowling but I have to say it looked like a landslide to begin with. Half Blood Prince was one of the best yet when it comes to twists and surprises. I hope however to see Harry Potter win even more awards because in my eyes and I am sure to all who frequent this website it is the best and our lives as a previous person said in this line.

Wel, duh! Did you really think that it wouldn't?! I mean, come on. It is only the best book in this entire world. I must say that it is by far my favorite out of the entire series. That is, of course, until book 7 comes out... Is it July 7, 2007 yet??
