Harry Potter alert
Who can be surprised that the Internet is all abuzz over the new Harry Potter book?
Part of the frenzy focuses on the spoilers who claim they have the ending and are posting it online before the book goes on sale Friday at midnight.
Soon, every other type of media will get into the act and Potter fans who don't want to know who lives and who dies before they actually read "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows" will have to go into total isolation.
We don't want to give away the ending even after the book hits the shelves, but the release of J. K. Rowling's last installment in the Potter saga is BIG news, and that's something we can't ignore.
(Did you know, for instance, that book retailers report that more orders have been placed for this seventh Potter novel than any other book in history?)
So, to report the news and protect avid Potter readers, we'll include some "warnings" in the pages of The News over the next few days. We'll alert you to stories that contain plot information. You can read them, or not, as you choose.
