...sense of wonder hone and is made through a complex, secret process that requires two distillations. After a period of limited distribution in the U.S., 3 Vodka is now hitting international markets in a sleek, stylish bottle. Taste-wise, it's strikingly smooth: 3 Vodka goes with all the usual cocktails and mixers, but you can also sip it straight without that burning kick. There's another plus: 3 Vodka is carb-free (unlike its grain-based rivals). Just the thing to get the taste of that tofu burger out of your mouth...

Snape has at long last secured the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching job. Draco has his usual generic mischief cooking. Harry, now 16, has been made captain of Gryffindor's Quidditch team, and he has stumbled on a mysterious potions textbook that was formerly the property of--wait for it--a certain Half-Blood Prince. Meanwhile, Dumbledore and Harry, with the help of that always handy expository...
