The Leaky Cauldron posted a very funny, but serious policy about people who might want to try to spoil H arry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for others. J. K. Rowling posted on her own website that she loved it—it cracked her up. My favorite line: “We own pitchforks, hot wax and feathers. And we're not afraid to use them.” Spoil Us Not, Sneaks!

Forget the pitchforks, I've got a stun gun! (Not really but I do know where I can get one!)

I'm planning to hole up with my book and avoid the media. I read quickly so I should have the Deathly Hollows read in 2-3 days.

A pox upon the New York Times! Apparently they got a hold of one of the leaked copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and ran their review of it on Thursday, July 19. I wrote a letter to the editor which wasn’t printed, but I’ll share it here:
To the editor: The New York Times’ decision to jump the gun and publish a review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows two days prior to its highly anticipated release was disappointing, though understandable.
Book reviews are meant to aid readers in deciding which books to read. For most books, a review in the New York Times is extremely important. But for the 7th and final Harry Potter novel, a review is irrelevant. Is there a person on the planet who needs to see any review of this book to decide whether to read it or not?
As the New York Times can not achieve relevance in reviewing “Deathly Hallows”, it has settled for prematurity.

The bastards! I wonder what they were trying to prove?
