Whoa-oh, it's magic

My pal Adam was apparently on "Good Day New York" this morning, dressed as a Dementor, discussing the launch party he'll be, um, dementing later tonight.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you all know what comes out tomorrow.


My copy isn't arriving until Monday, because I have all my Amazon pre-orders shipped to my office. I can wait, though - I'm not finished with the Irving yet, and truthfully I was more excited about that one. It will be nice, though, if the Harry Potter book is not entirely about the penis, like Until I Find You sort of is. And not in a good way, either. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a good book, but it completely de-eroticizes sex due to its constant bashing-you-over-the-head-with-it. Less is more, Irving. Tittilation is what keeps 'em coming back for more!

So it'll be nice to get my hands on some good old-fashioned PG-rated family fun for awhile, even though I'm not particularly looking forward to having to hold a 1000-page hardcover in one hand while standing up in a crowded Q train at 8:30 a.m.

Because I am so very well-connected in the literary world, I have gotten my hands on some HUGE Harry Potter spoilers, which I will share with you now.

If you do not want to know what happens in the sixth Harry Potter book, you'd better stop reading now. I mean it. This is big.

Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you:
  • Bad people try to take over Hogwart's.
  • Using some sort of magic that is way more advanced than any teenager should be able to do, Harry will save the day and vanquish Voldemort, though only temporarily.
  • Someone will play Quidditch. This is all I can tell you.
  • Dumbledore will say something wise.
  • Snape will be ambiguously creepy.
  • Hermione will know a lot of obscure facts.
  • Bruce Willis is actually dead.

Everything was a shock, except for the Bruce Willis thing.

Oh but this book is only supposed to be about 600 pages. So your Q train ride should be a piece of cake!

Let's not forget that Hagrid will be blamed for something very terrible, but it's really not his fault. (Is it ever?)
