JULY 21, 2007!!!!!!!!!
The book was brilliant!!!
Only Jo Rowling could introduce a new mystery to be solved and still tie up all of the loose ends!
Update: Near the bottom I've added a link to my lens about JKRowling. Don't forget to vote whether you think she should win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

R.A.B does stand for Regulus Black. Read the Book! So don't say what is or what isn't until you've read the entire book!

Hi
Did you know a group of Harry Potter fans travelled from Belgium to get the new book in London ? Amazing to think how her books appeal to both adults and children, not many authors can do this !
Nice lens

I think Deathly Hallows means something with Godric Hallows, where Harry's Parents lived, and they did die there. So it has a possiblity that Harry will find some interesting artifacts and information there. Also, RAB is not Regulus Black, JK Rowling said herself that it was a good guess but not it.
