Ok I will confess to being a harry Potter fan. I love the books and the movies. I even subscribe a the MuggleCast podcast and I listen to that when I fly commercially.
Well 7 years ago a 12 year old started a web site about Harry Potter and it is now the biggest fan site on the web. Emerson Spartz is a student at Notre Dame University, and has a staff of 120 people working on the web site. He has been invited to meet with JK Rowling, is on talk shows, and has now published a book.
The book is "What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7" and I just finished reading it. The book explores several theories about what is going to happen in the next book. Some of the discussion are taken from the Mugglenet.com web site and then refined into a well written discussion with backed up facts from the book, JKR interviews, and JKR's own web site. I really enjoyed reading the book and some of the theories are really well supported. A few, IMHO, are out there. But the whole idea of buying a book to read about a few people's theories is out there to begin with.
But if you are a fan I recommend the book. It only took me a little over 5 hours to read the whole thing and is a HP fix in between books and re-runs of the movies.
BTW HP:OTP comes out in July 2007 and I am counting the days.
