Ooooh the excitement is building, only two more sleeps till the release of the new book. Well it is for those of us that think it is well written teenage fiction and not the work of the devil.

I have my copy on order, even though it is so long since I was a teenager that it is embarrassing. But for those who can't wait here is an interesting competition being run by the Guardian to guess the next few lines following the few that we already know, which are:

"The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive... The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four."
