there have been rumor on J.k's site that the cover of the 6th book is going to be purple and that the colour is significant to the book... gives you something to think about. Personally from what I know purple is the colour for royalty.

Isn't purple a significant color throughout the books though? I read something somewhere, where J.K.R. uses symbolism with all a lot of the stuff in her books.. like the number 12 and I think it said something about the color purple appearing a lot for some reason..

Harry can't die... not on the Half blood Prince...
beacause it's the sixth book... and there have to be 7 books...
and i've heard some rumprs that Jo is thinking to make 8th book too... but i don't believe in it...
and i've heard that the last word in the 7th book is scar...

I know he can't die, but I'm just saying that it would be nice if he were shot...he deserves it..lol. I don't think there will be an 8th book either.

I haven't heard that one before, but I heard that since hes one of the most liked characters in the book ((unbelieveably)) that J.K.R.s going to add more about him and his past into the last two books..

Should be good, I think theres more about snape then meets the eye and why he is the way he is..i think shes allready given us hints in the last book.

Yes I agree...but her I think her hints are always very hard to read until you actually read what they are hinting at..
