The Spectator

The scoop on Harry Potter

Amidst all the talk about file-sharing sites having copies of the new Harry Potter book, it is somehow reassuring to find that the newspaper that has the first review (it’s here, but don’t read it unless you want to have a strong idea of how the story ends) got hold of their copy the old fashioned way: it walked into a bookshop and paid retail for it.

Here at Coffee House we’ll be respecting the embargo, but we’ll have a review up first thing on Saturday morning.
