Not Worth It

I started reading the new Harry Potter book last week, but it's rubbish and I can't be arsed to finish it. Anyone know how it ends?

You could do worse than read Wikipedia!

Thanks, Lisa. That's saved me a lot of unnecessary effort.

Happy to oblige!

Just, baffled at you trying to read it? Surely the great John did not get swept up in hype?
;)

The great John hasn't been anywhere near it. I was just perversely entertained by the idea that someone might not be bothered to finish reading it after having read all the others and all the fuss about the ending.

Neil Gaiman comes round to JK's gaffwith a copy of Books of Magic and lawsuit,
what you've never heard of Books of Magic JK?
oh it's just this story about "a bespectacled English teenager with family troubles who has a magical owl as a pet — with the potential to become the greatest magician the world has ever known"

and JK just goes, yeah well, it's just a funny book we novelists steal from them all the time, the TLS doesn't give a shit...

oh and he has a scar on his head

Child wizards are all middle class cunts anyway. Who fucking cares? Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.
