GEEK-OUT TIME: "Harry Potter" Edition

Cover.jpgScholastic released the cover art for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" today. Arthur Levine, the U.S. "Potter" editor, said this morning on the "Today Show" that he "sobbed and sobbed" while reading it, describing "Hallows" as a "very, very emotional book." In other "Harry" news, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have all signed on to the final two films in the series.

I'm way too big of a fan to provide any snarky commentary at this point in time.

[But I'm not. Judging by the cover art, maybe the book should be retitled "Harry Potter and the Thriller Video Redux." That guy on the left totally looks like MJ, and they kind of seem like they're doing that weird zombie dance (you know, when MJ turns around and his eyes are glowing and then they all dance in unison?) Maybe a zombie will punch Harry in the face and break his glasses. That's pretty much the worst thing you can do to a guy with glasses, wizard or no. -- ES]

[Addition: After hearing news of the Michael Jackson robot, I'd like to amend the above statement by saying that the folks on the book cover are most likely trying to shoo the Molestobot away after it accidentally hopped an airliner from Vegas to wherever "Harry Potter" takes place -- ES}
