We've gotten so many reviews (close to 30!) in the original post I thought I'd start a new thread. Remember, you get 3 bonus points for your reviews. A refresher of how it works:

  • You can review books, movies or CDs you've read, seen, or listened to since May 20
  • In your review, include the title and author/artist
  • Tell me what you liked and/or disliked (the plot? characters? the ending? too slow?)
  • Please please please do NOT give away the ending, or what happens to major characters. No spoilers!!
  • Give a rating of 1-5 stars, with 5 being the best of the best
  • Review should be at least 3-5 sentences (be sure to put your initials at the end)
  • Be creative! List your favorite tracks of a CD, favorite quote from a book, etc.
  • After clicking on "Comments" and writing your review, select "Anonymous"

What's Your Theory? Harry Potter Cover Art

Everyone seems to have a different opinion about just what exactly is being hinted at in the cover art of the upcoming "Deathly Hallows" book (alas, the last HP book!), so I thought I'd open up a discussion and see what YOUR theories are. Post them here, and get 3 bonus Summer Reading points! For a closer look of both the US and UK covers, go to www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/dh. Once the book is released in July, we'll check everyone's theories, see who was dead on and post the winning theories...so, what do you think?
Be sure to email me at tleslie@bham.lib.al.us if you post so I can give you your bonus points.
