False alarm.

It turns out Amazon was just striking terror in my heart covering their bases. I got the book on time and should not have believed random emails about "we might be late." *panics again*

Have read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Loved it. Though if I knew someone about to read the HP series right now, I'd tell them to wait until the next book is out because, while this is not quite a cliff-hanger, it's so close to one as to leave you a little hungry.

But here's the problem with 2) -- it's based upon an assumption. We have to assume that Dumbledore was dying.

We don't have much evidence for that. It's a possibility, sure, it could be like cancer, but the case for it is weak.

The problem with all the conclusions is we don't know what it is that Dumbledore drank. Since we're left in the dark about it, and it's clearly important or Dumbledore wouldn't have risked both himself and Harry.... well, let's just say I'm deeply suspicious.
