Rowling is mad, mad, mad
By M&C News Jul 21, 2007, 10:58 GMT
J.K. Rowling is a bit peeved at the fact that The New York Times went ahead and reviewed her final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, due in stores on July 21.
According to Reuters, Rowling’s people are very upset at the review, comparing it to breaking an Embargo act, or some other such nonsense. The newspaper, however, defends that it has a right to review any book it pleases as long as it plays by the rules.
In actuality, the review doesn’t say much, so it’s not worth sweating over. But it just might be the principle that has angered Rowling so much.

(1) Rowling has already said this is the last book...so in essence Harry is DEAD!
(2) Rowling is a billionaire from all this...so where's her gripe ?
(3) A woman once said to Winston Churchill, at a party, 'Mr. Churchill, you, sir, are drunk !' Churchill replied, 'And you, madame, are ugly !...the difference is that tomorrow I shall be sober !!!' Have you look at any recent pictures of J.K. ????
Harvey Putter #3... childish. So you're a beauty yourself then? Obviously not on the inside. Ms. Rowling looks great.
HarveyPutter, #3 made no sense. I have no idea what you were hoping to imply there, and what it had to do with the article.
