Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I managed to finish reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last night and have spent part of today re-reading parts of it. I don't intend to review it or make any comment really, except to say that it met and exceeded all my expectations. Anyway, seeing Harry Potter mania seems to be all over the web at the moment, I thought I'd once again embed a classic UQ Law Revue sketch, Harry Potter's Scar:
Who decides which books get press (Harry Potter) and which get censored? After all, censorship is becoming America's favorite past-time. The US gov't (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books like "America Deceived" from Amazon and Wikipedia, shut down Imus and fire 21-year tenured, BYU physics professor Steven Jones because he proved explosives, thermite in particular, took down the WTC buildings. Free Speech forever (especially for books).
