At midnight tonight the new Harry Potter novel (Harry Potter and the Franchise O'the Gods I believe it's called) will finally hit the streets. Many bookstores are opening at mighnight to flog it to a diverse group of people ranging from the under 10s right through to pensioners.Ther are plans for dress-up competitions, magic shows and much more and fans of the series. Apparently it's going to be "amazing", "wonderful" and a "real experience" (half-arsed quoting from various Rowling fan sites).
Amazing really that the same people who find this kind of experience "amazing" and "wonderful" look down their noses when Star Wars fans attend a premier opening dressed in all the garb and grand then geeks and losers.
I refer you, m'lud, to the case of pot v kettle ....
