More Potter Madness

Just over a month to go to book 7.

You don't even have to say which book 7, there only seems to be the one (No, I am not going to start chanelling 'Highlander').

I wrote before about the utter madness of what is just an OK set of books. Yes, I will read it, but I won't buy it. Last time I had a very nice Brownie lend me her copy to read before she did. This time, I'm not sure when I'm going to get my hands on one.

I repeat - I am not going to buy one. But how to stop people telling me spoilers?

I'll make a badge I thought to myself. Then I went ahead and made a design to put up on Cafepress. This should stop the blabbers in their tracks. They can be purchased at http://www.cafepress.com/harry7
Of course, not wanting to leave anyone out, I adapted the design for those who are even more tired of Harry Potter than I am. Might create a bit of a commotion, and can be found at http://www.cafepress.com/antiharry7

The problem after the 21st July is that the publishers won't have a book 8 to make loads of money on. You can bet lots of different variations on the theme are going to appear (more than there are already) as they try to replicate the success. I'd tell them not to try, but look for something different. If you try to clone HP, you are just going to fail.

Just publish me instead.
