Holy Hogwarts! The NY Times Draws Anger From J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling isn’t happy with two U.S. newspapers, the Baltimore Sun and the NY Times . Join the club sweetheart. Many aren’t happy with the Old Gray Lady. Editorially and with it’s left leaning news articles, the paper of record doesn’t represent the views of the majority of Americans.

The New York Times and the Baltimore Sun published reviews of the final Harry Potter book on Thursday before it went on sale, drawing a stinging response from author J.K. Rowling.

The New York Times review, which appeared overnight, said its copy was purchased from a New York City store on Wednesday, while the Baltimore Sun said it obtained a hard copy of the book “through legal and ordinary means”.

The official release of the eagerly awaited “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is not until 0001 British Summer Time on Saturday or 2301 GMT on Friday night.

Rowling, whose first six Potter books have sold 325 million copies worldwide, responded with a terse statement.

“I am staggered that some American newspapers have decided to publish purported spoilers in the form of reviews in complete disregard of the wishes of literally millions of readers, particularly children,” she said.

“I am incredibly grateful to all those newspapers, booksellers and others who have chosen not to attempt to spoil Harry’s last adventure for fans,” the 41-year-old added.

This is a Weekend OTB & Linkfest for July 20-22, 2007.
