"There's nothing quite like Harry Potter in publishing," Bookseller magazine children's book expert Caroline Horn told Reuters.

"I thought the writing style was different. It was darker and more depressing. I liked it better," Coppolo said. "The previous books were more uplifting." The book is the sixth in the series and has sat in the No. 1 spot on Amazon.com's best seller list since it was announced late last year. "I thought the writing style was different. It was darker and more depressing. I liked it better," Coppolo said. "The previous books were more uplifting." Those lucky to be at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland are being treated to a reading by Rowling. Fire dancers are expected to perform in the Changing Hands parking lot in Tempe, Arizona, and a New Orleans, Louisiana, bookstore is co-sponsoring a neighborhood Potter adventure, The Associated Press rep Potter Web site MuggleNet even offers a page of rumor debunkings, including "[Hogwarts Headmaster] Dumbledore is not a relative of Harry," "Harry Potter will not be the new Minister of Magic" and "There will be no character named Icicle." "I loved the book. I hated the ending," said 39-year-old Shelly Blackmore of Centerville, Ohio. "There is a death. I sobbed. It was horrible." As with past Harry Potter releases, a few have slipped out: 14 in Vancouver, British Columbia; one in upstate New York; and two, allegedly, in Indianapolis, Indiana. But the books ... well, the books are in no danger of going wanting. 'A huge amount of security' If you're looking for something with teeth, several new books have earned early plaudits -- including two that bite hard.
