Kottke Confesses Reluctant Love For Potter
I think my headline skills are improving don’t you?
Jason Kottke, web designer and author of the well read blog, kottke.org, admitted today that he is shamefully addicted to the Harry Potter novels.
Apparently, Mr. Kottke has become so entranced with the novels that he even clandestinely perused a copy of Mugglenet.Com’s What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7: Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Falls in Love and How Will the Adventure Finally End while in a bookstore.
I flipped through a couple of chapters, little kids flowing around me in the aisle, feeling exhilarated (and a little disappointed) that the authors’ theories agreed with mine and ashamed at what I’d become, a 33-yo man with deeply held theories about future plot developments in a children’s book series.
Join the party my friend. It’s all downhill from here. Before you know it, you’ll be a regular contributor to a blog devoted entirely to Harry Potter and you’ll wake up in the middle of the night with another grand theory about how it will all end, and unable to sleep until you’ve posted it on a blog and/or message board to see what your fellow Potter fanatics think of it. If it’s any comfort, at least it’s a sickness with a forseeable end: July 21.
