      It's going to be hilarious when you're torn limb from limb by a horde of enraged 12 year old girls.

    Page 608? I would think she'd wait until the last half of the book, at least.

    I'm guessing we go 2 or 3 years with nothing, then out comes Harry Potter Jr. and the Redundant Storyline of Destiny.

    I've got the scoop the story:
    "The school and Harry's friends are scandalized when he shows up to the prom naked on a horse."

    Ooops...sorry, wrong story.

    We already have a genre for "Magic Fiction." Fantasy.

    I thought that was the genre for those novels at the supermarket with Fabio on the cover? No that is called Trash.

    The problem with the Harry Potter books is that my wife cheats ...

    To be fair, I'm not sure why that's Harry Potter's problem.
