Look, I’m as excited as the next person to get my hands on the next Harry Potter (although no one seems to be offering the audiobook for preorder yet), but why did I just see the cover on the news? Why did every bookstore, online and off, feel the need to email me a copy of said cover? The book has two different covers in the UK, neither of which is the cover shown here.
Why are the “news” stories making a big deal about the fact that the cover may have something to do with the story. It’s the cover. Most books seem to have covers, and a lot of them have images on them. Sometimes they have something to do w ith the book. Not news.

I’m with you… but I know why they showed it. The moment I saw it I went to online to preorder my book so I could go to the midnight party. It keeps it fresh in everyone’s heads, much like previews for movies that are coming out months later.
I guess I didn’t think of that since I already got the slew of pre-order emails from the online stores, and the giant signs about pre-ordering at the book stores. Good point. Still not news. :-)
Yeah, but, seriously, what really is these days. Did you see Daily Show two nights ago? The guy who wrote Bad News was really interesting (I know, I should look up his name, but I’m a little lazy right now…)
