Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked
darkonc writes "The CBC is reporting that about 15 copies of "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" were accidently sold at a 'Great Canadien Superstore' in a suburb of Vancouver BC. The Canadian Distributor, Raincoast Books managed to get
an injunction prohibiting the people who recieved the books from talking about them and demanding that they return the books to Raincoast until Friday. To add a carrot to the stick, raincoast is offering various goodies including a signed bookplate."

O.K., so from now on I'm no longer going to listen to any more crap from any of you Canadian Slashdotters criticizing free speech in America.

Literature for 10 year olds is "leaked"! Now the kids will have no interest in reading! When I was 10, I never read a book that was older than 3 days. Someone has to pay for this.

Which explains why he had only half his blood....
Yes, yes I'll be here all week...
Harry Potter's coming out? About freakin' time! I mean, it's been pretty obvious since day one that he's got a thing for Ron, so it's now a big deal anyways... Oh wait, "Harry Potter books"!
...reliece...
WOW.
That took my breath away.
Its a real shame, there doesn't seem to be a bittorrent for physical objects...
Of course I'd return my copy for a signed bookplate in a heartbeat.
I'd try to trade mine for sex first, and if that didn't pan out, I'd take the bookplate.
If you mod me down the terrorists will have won
Ok, I'll stick my neck out:
...hmmmmmm!
My review:
Something evil threatens Harry. His friends tag along for the adventure. Malfoy is an asshat. Dumbledore says some words of wisdom. Hagrid gets into some form of trouble but comes good in the end. Ron just about cocks up every spell he trys. Hermione is a swat (but kinda cute). Someone tangles with a mythical beast. It's a fight to the death but Harry and his friends come good in the end - oh and someone is not who they seem to be
Either that or they all go on a nice picnic and the lemonade is especially agreeable.

he was modded "Interesting" not for what he had to say, but for how he spelled what he had to say.
