Love is in the Air
Apparently it's darned near impossible to get any information about the HBP from American Scholastic Editor, Arthur Levine. But he did let a few 'minor' spoilerish elements slip in this latest interview with Newsday media writer Aileen Jacobson.
Jacobson reports:
"Alas, I was less successful wheedling any information about the new Harry Potter from the book's editor, Arthur Levine. "There's a new character named Maclaggen," he said, and spelled the name. And . . . ? And nothing. Levine clammed up. Jim Dale had mentioned yesterday that somebody dies. True? "I can neither confirm nor deny." Does Harry have a girlfriend? "I can't say . . . He's definitely growing up in all areas of his life." Later, he said he didn't experience this book to be as dark as the last, though the overall arc of the series is that the "world is getting more pernicious." This one, he said, "has more romance in general." And then he and marketing VP Jennifer Pasanen, who was sitting in, started humming "Love is in the air." Well, it's a clue.
Unless someone swipes a copy of "HP and the Half-Blood Prince" (as two men already did in London, but they were caught), we'll have to wait until July 16."
