I found these on jibjab.com. Enjoy! 1. Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?' 2. Laugh at him. 3. Wake him up by singing Beach Boys songs in his ear. 'Round, round, get around, I get around...' 4. Knit him things. Really hideous things. 5. Give him kangaroo-ears for a month. 6. Smile during Death Eater meetings and say you taught him everything he knows. 7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in quick succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess. 8. Dance the Funky Chicken. 9. Ask him when was the last time he took a bath. 10. Pat him on the head and give him flowers when his plans are foiled yet again. 11. If you ever need to say 'Like taking candy from a baby', be sure to add 'Of course, SOME of us might find that harder than others.' Stare pointedly at him. 12. Play 'knock-&-run' at his bedchamber door late at night. 13. Call him 'The...

courtesy of msnbc.com Spoiler alert: This story reveals some key plot points in the final Harry Potter book. So if you've haven't finished the book, J.K. Rowling asks that you not read this story. If you found the epilogue of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” rather vague, then J.K. Rowling achieved her goal. The author was shooting for “nebulous,” something “poetic.” She wanted the readers to feel as if they were looking at Platform 9¾ through the mist, unable to make out exactly who was there and who was not. “I do, of course, have that information for you, should you require it,” she told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira rather coyly in her first interview since fans got their hands on the final book. Ummm … yes, please! Rowling said her original epilogue was “a lot more detailed,” including the name of every child born to the Weasley clan in the past 19 years. (Victoire, who was snogging Teddy — Lupin and Tonks’ son — is Bill and Fleur’s eldest.) “But it didn’t work very well as...

LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The seventh and final Harry Potter book flew off the shelves on Saturday as fans the world over poured into stores or waited for the first post to discover the fate of the boy wizard. J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" looks set to become the fastest selling book on record based on early estimates, following months of hype and a carefully orchestrated launch designed to maximize sales and suspense. Internet leaks of the book's contents and newspaper articles containing spoilers appear not to have dampened enthusiasm among readers old and young, thousands of whom dressed as characters from the book for the midnight openings. Some could not wait to see what lay in store for the characters they have grown up with over the last decade. "I couldn't stop myself from finding out the end first," said Vineet Sharma in Mumbai. In Johannesburg, Liezl van Rensburg added: "I usually read the last page first, but this...

As the group of people and I read that sentence aloud after stepping outside of Barnes and Nobles here in Ohio, not one of our eyes were dry. This is it. The end. I also wanted to paste the dedication of the book for you. For those who dont have the book. "The dedication of this book is split seven ways: To Neil, To Jessica, To David, To Kenzie, To Di, To Anne, and If you have stuck with Harry until the very end." I am a mere 80 pages into the book, I have to put it down. I think I am more of a wreak than Amber is in the House! Not to spoil it, but there have been more deaths as of the first 80 pages in this book as there were in the last two books put together! This counts good, bad and creatures. Anyone else a wreak right now? This is going to take longer than I thought. It's soo dark. Terribly dark.

At our local Barnes and Noble, they pass out wrist bands to the people who reserve their copy of HPDH. This year they are splitting everyone into groups of 50, marked by a letter on their wrist band. I am letter D. I wish I had brought my camera to take pictures of the whole place! We were wrapped around the building! TWICE before I left! I am glad I got there at about 5:30 PM EST instead of 6! It is only a matter of hours now until the release of the final book! Please take note that a wide discussion will not be taking place here on my blog, I may open a private forum for those who wish to enter to discuss the book. Talk it up here in the comments. I will be forced to moderate any comments that include Spoilers. Sorry

According to Hugo Rifkind Monday My publisher calls, sounding worried. “So,” she says. “I’ve read the new ending for the last book.” “Oh yes?” I say. I have the phone clamped under my chin, because I’m using a plastic Quidditch stick to jam twelve hundred copies of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and a collection of Weasley figurines down the waste-disposal. “Yes,” says the publisher. “And I’m not sure I like it. function pictureGalleryPopup(pubUrl,articleId) { var newWin = window.open(pubUrl+'template/2.0-0/element/pictureGalleryPopup.jsp?id='+articleId+'&&offset=0&§ionName=Books','mywindow','menubar=0,resizable=0,width=615,height=655'); } I switch off the waste disposal. “Really?” I say. “You don’t like the way Harry and all his friends get decapitated with an enormous axe?” “Not so much,” says the publisher. I put a hand to my hip. “Or the way Voldemort disintegrates the body parts into a fine magic dust, which he sprinkles across...
