I believe they spread the book-leaking stories just to get more publicity. I mean, it happens EVERY time. Wouldn't they be able to stop such things if they really wanted to? It doesn't seem to happen with any other books.

I can understand kids getting excited about a book and a character in it that they love, but why in the name of all things holy do adults jump on the bandwagon? Its a kids bloody book! I wouldnt mind, but to queue for days (in some cases) is bloody stupid when they can walk into a shop the day after its release and buy a copy quite easily - it's not gonna sell out. :?

Harry Potter's for morons, go out and grab real book like On The Road or Catch 22, you know, something that's actually interesting to read.

I wouldnt agree that Harry Potter is for morons, a lot of kids like it and they aint morons. A lot of adults enjoy it too (some probably morons but not all), personally I cant understand why. I'd rather walk into my local bookshop starkers than read it. Each to their own though I suppose, and all that.

Never bought into Harry Potter hype. JimmieD's images are hilarious as usual though.

I personally think Harry Potter is a good read. Haven't read all the books(read first 3 and have seen all the movies except the new one). It's pretty intelligent stuff for young kids to be reading. It's quite cynical and gets progressively darker throughout. You really can't compare it to books like Catch-22 and On The Road, different genres. I personally think Rowling does a good job giving you a very vivid picture of who all these characters are(one of her writing strengths). Plus, they are a blast to read. I don't buy into all the hype though, I'll read it eventually.
