Bogus Harry Potter Book In China

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-to-make-some-ebay-scratch dept.

elveu writes "Chinese Harry Potter fans have been blessed with the fifth book early -- only it's not the real one. The title translates to 'Harry Potter And Leopard Walk Up To Dragon.' The story has Harry getting turned into a fat hairy drawf and being void of his powers."

    actually they don't really follow a formula. yes in three out of the four the dark arts teacher has been bad. the villin was the defence of the dark arts teacher in two of them. the dark arts teacher was drunk on illgotten fame in antoher. and in anotehr it ws harrys fathers friend. so no it's not alwasy the defence agains the dark arts techer. in fact the books got more complicated as they go on. the firts one starts off as a childrents cook and as harry gets older the sorys become more complex. sure they're not exceptionally complex but they are good books. people jsut seems to have dismissed harry potter as crap beceause it is popular with children which is very common. like people hated pokemon beceause young kids liked the anime. if they're read with a mondset like that yes you will be looking for faults. but harry potter is not predictable in fact the second one where the defence against the dark arts techer was the bad guy you thought he was the good guy throught the whole thing.

    The entire country is blocked by a huge firewall censoring the entire internet. All forms of news and entertainment media are controlled by the government. The country is ran by a one party dictatorship. People have minimal human rights. More than 60% of the country is impoverished.
    Sounds like America in 10 years time - if you disagree, you're not a patriot... Did you know our poverty rate was currently at around 14%, with 25% of all women living below the poverty line? See here.
