Harry potter and the puzzling prince. Teehee! Can we get a close up on the cover?.... And, boy, it would KILL me to wait this long for HBP! Half of the people may even know by now, through friends or relatives in other countries, who the HBP is! Well, enjoy, Japan!

That's brilliant...now the Japanese would be able to read it in their own launguage and understand it for those who has a had time understanding it in English...so cool...it would also be good and kinda cool if they had it in my language...but I guess it's not going to happen...:(:D:P...but it's alright...it better for me in English...:D:D:D

Why is it called the Puzzling Prince? That suggests nothing about who it is.

Wow! thats great! can't wait so i can compare. i believe it 'puzzling prince' for lack of better translation, that still leave it to the point that the HBprince is confusing and mysterious

I dont know how they could ever wait that long for the books. I think its brilliant though that they will get to read them and be interested in the next book. I cant believe that so many people around the world like the books.

Harry Potter and the Puzzling Prince? Sounds kind of weird! I couldn't stand to wait that long! I would learn english and read the book before waiting 10 months!

It must be a nightmare to have to wait 10 months for your favourite book knowing that millions of people before you are able to read it. I bet everyone in Japan knows what happens anyway. Well at least they get a chance to read it for themselves now.
