No more Texas governors for president

Before I begin my Defense of Draco, I’d like to make clear that we’re talking about post-Hallows Draco here. Because we’re not perverts. And because, frankly, nobody at Hogwarts made good boyfriend material during the war.

“I wanted to pay tribute to the series itself and to classic literature. I wanted to take those two things and fuse them together. In a way, the first Harry Potter cover should feel like Dickens.” -Kazu Kibuishi, A New Look for Harry Potter

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil.

Hey nerds! This study says that if you love awesome books (like Harry Potter, LOTR and Hunger Games) are less likely to vote in the election. WE MUST PROVE THEM WRONG!!!!!

I love all of those books and I vote!!!

Barack Obama is missing one component of the Deathly Hallows. My guess is that it’s the Invisibility Cloak that’s currently hiding Mitt Romney’s economic policy (and his tax returns).

And she sprinted away, up the stairs.

“Loads more than I do,” said Ron, shaking his head.

Breaking J.K. Rowling News of the Day: News from the industry vine this morning is that J.K. Rowling has officially signed a book deal with Little, Brown, and will soon be releasing her highly anticipated Harry Potter follow up.

No word yet on title, plot, or publication date, but word is that the book’s target audience will be adults.

“Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series,” said the author in a press release.

The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life.
