| | |  German fan gets violent at HBP release
It is being reported that a German Potter fan ran amok and threatened to kill people while queuing for a copy of the German edition of the book (which was released on Saturday).
The man apparently took six copies and then ran off. Finding it difficult to carry them all he went into another shop and demanded a carrier bag. When told he was being rude, he punched a customer in the face. Quote:
"Suspect said he could not stand the suspense of not knowing who the half-blood prince was," a Hanover police spokesperson said.
"Suspect was informed that he will likely have plenty of time for reading long books in his jail cell."

Thats shocking. A grown man behaving like that, not a good example to kids, is he? I was keen to get my book too, but would never do anything like that. I wonder why ho took six books?

I love HP as much as the next guy, but there is no reason to break the law. That's just horrible for someone to do something like that.

Wow...you would think since the books have been out so long in English, someone would have spoiled it for him.

Men! LOL Gosh, really... how stupid all that is. Won't he be disappointed when he does find out who the HBP is knowing that by the time you *do* find out, so much as happened that is seems inconsequential.  | |
