Don't talk of June, don't talk of fall! Don't talk at all! Show me!

I would like to have it known that I am not in favor of J.K. Rowling's announcement that Dumbledore is gay. It is not that I am upset that Dumbledore is gay, but I am tired of these press-conference revealings of information that didn't make it into the books. This is the worst kind of example of "telling rather than showing". I thought the Epilogue was guilty of that, but these are even worse. I don't want you to tell me that Ron and Harry are Aurors, or Dumbledore is gay or Neville marries me Hannah Abbott. If you feel...
Happy birthday, J.K. and Harry!

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire finally comes out in paperback today, years and years and years after it came out in hardcover. Notice no fifth book yet. Hmph.

So I suggest we all write J.K. some birthday greetings that say "Hurry up and finish the goldarned fifth book. Srah is impatient. Happy birthday." Seems like they could have delayed the release by a day, just to match them up......
Harry up!

If I were an author, I think I would be pretty jealous of J.K. Rowling. Everyone else's editor/publishing house is on their backs, pushing them to put out another book. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was, I believe, originally supposed to come out last summer. Then they pushed it to the fall. Then to spring/summer of 2002. Then September. Now the vague "fall 2002", which is what the clerk at Border's told me on Saturday. I've heard rumors that she hasn't even started it yet. And is the publisher going to complain? No. "Oh, you're not going...
