Subject: The Latest “Half-Blood Prince” Rumor (Uhh, boy!)

Anybody have a source for this one? It sounds like something “The
Onion” would put out!

"Edinburgh, Scotland—Author J.K. Rowling revealed new details today
about her forthcoming novel, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,”
the sixth book in the best-selling “Harry Potter” series. In the new
book, according to Ms. Rowling, Harry Potter is shocked when an
American rock star from Minneapolis, Minnesota comes to Hogwarts to
serve as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. The new
teacher, who is half-wizard, half-Muggle, is known simply as “the
Half-Blood Prince.”

I’m not sure what the copyright laws are on stuff like that, but I don’t want to find out the hard way. Hence, I have deleted part of the OP … those interested can use the link that rowrrbazzle thoughtfully provided. (Thanks, rowrr, very much!)

Specifically, see the 6th post there, where the joke is made very clear.

American Rock Star? Perhaps “the Artist formerly Known As Half-Blood Prince”? :smiley:
Prediction: If this is true Micheal Jackson will play the part in the movie.
