Heh. Cute. NO SPOILERS!! Please. *bats eyelashes* :D
I will respect Zaia's request and not post what Rowling did for one interview.

Though while JKR could be lying...it's doubtful, since she's kept most of her confirmed predictions down pat.

Thanks, sweetness. *kisses GR's cheek* I want to find out on Saturday, when I soak up that book.

I'm buying a copy the day it's available, and another one for good measure, cause my mom (an English teacher) will want one and more importantly I will avoid a long, destructive civil war with my girlfriend who also loves the books. The real bummer is that Saturday is Midsummer Day and all the stores will be closed, as they will be on Sunday! :evil: :evil: I've got to wait until Monday until I get a fix for my addiction... *twitch*

Anyway, I think the Potter books are good. Very good. There was an article on this week's issue of Time about the Potter-mania, and I'm of a mind to write them a few choice words regarding some of the anti-Rowling fanatics they'd interviewed. I hope they'll publish it, should give a fair few heart attacks to some intolerant bigots who are long overdue for getting what they deserve...

While surfing the channels today I caught the anchorman on Fox News this afternoon covering the HP pre-release ruckus and I shit you not, as he was introducing the story he said, "I guess the book's some sort of sequel or something..." Either he's one of those unfortunate newsmen with a weird schedule that sees nothing of the world outside his home and work or he's got a beautifully sarcastic sense of humor. Either way, BEST. NEWSCAST. EVAR!

Well actually it was beat out by the local news today. Some guy took a swan dive off the third floor of our downtown mall and got turned into a pizza when he hit. When they interviewed the manager of the mall, he said he didn't see any reason to close the mall and he looked honestly surprised that anyone would suggest such a thing.

Oh yeah, enjoyed the books, more so as the series gets further along, will bum book off a friend when he's done reading it.
