Rowling says latest Potter book is 'best yet'
11.14AM, Thu Apr 7 2005
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has been teasing readers waiting for her latest book.
Rowling has said the latest instalment in the boy wizard's adventures, which will be released on July 16, is one of the best she has written.
She went on to say that she does not think everyone will like Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, although it is one of her favourites.
Rowling, whose wealth has increased to £500 million from £435 million in 2004, is now the ninth-richest woman in Britain.
Her publisher, Bloomsbury, has said pre-orders for the sixth Potter book have "substantially exceeded" expectation.
And the book will have the highest initial print run in US history when 10.8 million copies hit American bookshelves.
That is an extra 4 million than its record-breaking initial print run for the fifth book in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, published in 2003.
... so it's cool to know he like Harry Potter..!
