when this tshirt sums it all up in a couple of lines?

Brilliant! Though a bit more verbose than the TShirt Hell one (which seems to be no longer on offer)

Harry Potter Pre-Release Pricing War

Bookmark and Share
By Michele Neylon on September 12, 2007 10:29 AM | 7 Comments
One of the things about popular films is that they are guaranteed to create a sort of pricing war in the online shops.

The latest Harry Potter film is no different. The more popular online shops are listing the pre-release pricing and the deals are quite interesting, though Play.com seems to be slightly ahead of the crowd.

Now what on earth would I do with a Harry Potter doll?

Matt Cutts thinks there is a striking similarity between the Harry Potter font and the Yahoo logo It might be a long shot (don't Google engineers have day jobs?) but I can see the similarities if I squint enough (original post)

Harry Potter en espanol (unofficial version)

harry potter cover A Harry Potter fan has made available a translation of the latest (and last) Harry Potter novel. The translation, which is available both online and in PDF form, is probably not up to the same levels as the official version which will be released later this year, but shows a lot of dedication and commitment. (A quick scan of the PDF found several phrases in the original English that the translator / fan hadn´t been able to translate). Of course I´d expect that the publishers won´t be too happy and will probably initiate a takedown.. (via)

Harry Potter Bit Torrent Story Leads To TakeDown Notices

Bookmark and Share
By Michele Neylon on July 19, 2007 8:29 AM | 1 Comment
Techcrunch's Michael Arrington is reporting that JK Rowlings' publishers are issuing takedown notices to websites that mentioned the bit torrent story. So now if you mention that a file is available on bit torrent without even linking to it you get a takedown notice? I do not like copyright infringement and have every intention of buying a copy of the new Harry Potter book this weekend, but I find the publisher's attitude to be laughable.

Harry Potter Mania In The Blogosphere

Bookmark and Share
By Michele Neylon on July 18, 2007 8:37 PM
I am a self-confessed Harry Potter fan I own all the DVDs in a nice little boxset. I have all the novels that have been released to date (some twice!) I will be buying a copy of the last book as soon as it is available in the shops (ie. this weekend) I have ordered the Royal Mail stamp set and am currently admiring the first few stamps that arrived today. Donncha, however, seems to have hit an interesting chord. A few days ago, as happened prior to the release of the last book, a number of people started posting about how the latest Harry Potter was available on bit torrent. Personally I didn't really care, since I can't stand reading long texts off a screen and want the familiar feel of dead tree in my hands. Of course the rumours about the torrents were a scam or a joke (depending on your point of view!). It transpires that the files in question are of a book inspired by Harry Potter / Jk Rowling and written by a fan NOT JK Rowling herself. While this is made abundantly clear in the comments on Donncha's blog every second comment is a pathetic plea for a copy of the book. Yes Donncha, it does remind me of Devil Wears Prada :)

Why would you want to fork out your hard earned cash to read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? NB: Don't read on if you haven't read the book yet. Spoilers to follow.
