I know I promised not to write anything about that book, but last night I stumbled across this article from The Guardian, which made me laugh.

Emma Arden, 11, was not among those queueing for a copy of the new Harry Potter

I think queueing up at midnight is a bit excessive. It isn't the end of the world if you don't get one book, or you get it a bit late.

I also think that if they are releasing this for children then they should do it during the day, instead of in the middle of the night.

If it hadn't been for the publicity then I don't think Harry Potter would have become such a big thing. I don't think the hype will last forever. I don't believe it is something that has real staying power.

Go on, read the article, - how clever kids are these days!
