Yes!!! HBP rocks! (right after GoF that is  )
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

pretty cool. i'm not surprised though. it was the most anticipated book of the year so it's no wonder it's the best seller of the year. im pretty sure the 7th book is going to be the best seller when it comes out also.

Oh, awesome! Two of my favourite books are on there! HBP and The Da Vinci Code. I'm surprised that the 12th book of ASOUE wasn't on the top 10. It was actually one of the better ones out of the series!
