Pandering Potter "News"
Now that J.K. Rowling has submit her manuscript to her publishers, the frenzy begins, and since there is no real new information, moderately repsectable news sources cobbling together all the garbage data that even minor Potter fans already knew. It's nothing more than a headline, really. "J.K. Rowling hints at what's to come in 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'?" Well, no, not really. Not recently. Everything posted in this "article" was yanked from fandom or long past interviews or old posts on the J.K. Rowling web site. I'm happy to see this book sell millions of copies. Truly I am. My son adores them and I love to read them to him in my really bad British accent. But let's see if we can get some real news in the newspapers, shall we? It's a book, not a bomb, and it isn't even set to be released until July. Why treat us like idiots in the mean time?
