NYTimes Just Hates Mankind and Human Happiness
The New York Times, which not alone openly cheers on the defeat of America but apparently also hates the joy of children, dishonestly obtained a copy of the new Harry Potter book and put out a review that contains spoilers (link to Hot Air explanation which contains no spoilers). This has already been condemned by J.K. Rowlings, and I assume a condemnation from the entire British government should soon follow. Apparently, the review was very positive, but, then again, it was the Times. UPDATE: A blogger at VodkaPundit accidentally got his copy early from DeepDiscount.com and put it up on eBay. The story of the ensuing firestorm (including a call to his unlisted number from Scholastic) is here. 13 Responses To "NYTimes Just Hates Mankind and Human Happiness"
What's the big deal, Frank? The only spoiler I noticed was that the title had a spelling error in it. It was supposed to be called "The Deathly Gallows". Sheesh #1 - Posted by: cptnmoroni on July 19, 2007 12:06 PMI understand Rowlings is at this moment writing a different ending. She will claim the pirated ending is a phony. In the new ending, Harry becomes mayor of Hogwarts and appoints Al Gore as Commissioner of Fisheries. Those bass from Chile are still not safe. Also, Jessica Simpson will be Commissioner of education! bah. what's the big deal? i read it online last night. sure, i was a bit surprised to hear that ron kills harry out of jealousy when he finds out about hermione's secret scar fetish, but not _that_ surprised... come on. we all saw it coming... #3 - Posted by: shane on July 19, 2007 01:13 PMI heard she was going to write Ron Paul in as the new headmaster at Hogwart's so he could get rid of fiat spells. #4 - Posted by: Veeshir on July 19, 2007 01:45 PMSpoiler: Voldemort is figment of Harry Potter's imagination and they're actually the same person #7 - Posted by: Dr. Phat Tony on July 19, 2007 03:36 PMThe hell counts as a spoiler in that article? Aside from it being an early review, there was nothing too huge leaked out. It appears that Shakespeare isn't the only one that made Much Ado About Nothing. #8 - Posted by: DesertElephant on July 19, 2007 07:22 PMHmmm... Dr. Phat Tony... that last one was very close to a real spoiler. I finished the book 2 nights ago. It was pretty good. My favorite character in the series was killed off within the first couple chapters.... ;_; #9 - Posted by: Rubeus on July 19, 2007 11:58 PMAm I the only person under 25 that hasn't read HP?! o_O; What? Why are you guys looking at me? #10 - Posted by: ochagirl on July 20, 2007 02:51 PMSpoiler: Dumbledore survives his battle against the Balrog and becomes the White Rider. #11 - Posted by: ZK on July 20, 2007 06:55 PMA friend of mine works at her local public library. Apparently they had their copies in the back room along with all the other 'normal' books, so she borrowed one overnight and brought it back the next morning after reading it. Apparently everyone kind of flipped out at her. :p #12 - Posted by: Oromin on July 21, 2007 04:23 AMI haven't read any of the series either. The closest I've come is a rewrite of the first three chapters of the first book that replaced the word wand with the word wang. I'd like to finish the Chronicles of Narnia before picking up these, but don't see that happening any time this decade. #13 - Posted by: BigBadUnderdog on July 22, 2007 11:43 AMPost a comment
