So we learned yesterday a possible source for those leaked Hallows – a distributor shipped books early. (Although it should be noted that the first of the ‘carpet book’ pictures – the full leak – showed up over the weekend.) Unsurprisingly, Scholastic says they’ll be taking legal action. Meanwhile, leak coverage continues.
And also…
- Top ten possible endings. Guest starring… Ewoks!
- Six questions the last Harry Potter book had better f#@king answer. No Ewoks in this one.
- Sydney Morning Herald: Let Harry Potter’s last word be his last, whatever it is.
- The Church of England sees Potter as opportunity.
- Fans already lining up at California Borders.
- Reuters paws at the surface of fandom.
- HP proves folks still read for fun. Danielle Steel’s 300+ weeks on the NYT bestsellers list agree.
- Nicholas Lezard for the opposition: “It is time to make a stand against Harry Potter.”
HERE THERE BE SPOILERS! YAAR!
- I say spoilers but there’s really nothing shockingly revealing here: The New York Times finds the book at a local ‘retail outlet’, reviews it.
- The Baltimore Sun also nabbed an early copy.
- Now this has spoilers. (At least for now.)
And here’s one for Yav: Hogwarts Professor, Thoughts for the Serious Reader of Harry Potter.
