Bulgarian children have stormed the bookstores and stands after the release of the sixth Harry Potter novel in their native tongue on December 13.

Booksellers everywhere happily rubbed their hands, visualizing nice Christmas bonuses as the books disappeared from the shelves right into the hands of the eager readers.

Those fans in Bulgaria, who do not understand English, had reason enough to be so impatient, as the original of the book was published July 16 and it took six months for the translation to come out.

With the timing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's release and the readers' enthusiasm it seems that many parents would be facilitated with the pick of a Christmas gift for their little ones.

The book has been published in hardcover and costs BGN 25. For those following the series it becomes more and more clear that each book in the series is more and more horrifying.

With Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Author J. K. Rowling gives her readers the darkest novel of her wizard series yet. Though deaths at the end of the book have already become a tradition, the character that she chooses to kill off this time leaves many wondering just how bad it could get in book number 7.
