I'm just wild about Harry
As anyone who reads my blog knows.
Here, some recent Harry-related links. None of which are to any of the spoiler sites. (Boo! hiss! -- and yet, I confess to having read a posted version of the epilogue. I'll say no more about that, however.)
First up, Hank Green's song about Potter-mania, which I believe may be entitled "Accio, Deathly Hallows". It can be found at Brotherhood 2.0. And if you haven't already been a regular viewer/voyeur, then by all means check out the entries from earlier this week, because punishments? They're funny.
Next? The New York Times posted an early review from a bootleg copy of the book. Not sure how I feel about their morality, but Michiki Kakutani did a decent job of talking about the book without divulging much about what happened in it. But she does explain the word "hallows", and so anyone wanting no spoilers at all should avoid the review.
Finally, J.K. Rowling updated her site today, with what I believe to be very useful, sensible advice. She follows up her plea for people to ignore spoilers by saying, "I'd like to ask everyone who calls themselves a Potter fan to help preserve the secrecy of the plot for all those who are looking forward to reading the book at the same time on publication day. In a very short time you will know EVERYTHING!"
Like Hank Green, I am torn between being happy to finally reach the end, and sad that it has to be the end. Now, to pick a party to attend tomorrow night. And to decide whether to dress as McGonagle or not -- I have that ability, since I created the costume for last years New England SCBWI conference.
