… well, actually it’s in China. And it’s a fake.
Harry Potter and and Leopard-Walk-Up-To-Dragon has been released in China. The book has J.K. Rowling’s name on the cover, and her bio on the inside, but it’s a fake. Rowling didn’t write it.

Damn you. My heart skipped a few beats as I read the title and waited for the page to load.
I didn’t even know there was a fourth book yet. What is it called?
Wait a minute, there’s a third book?
When did she finish the second one?
Here are the titles in order of publication.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The fifth book has not yet been released.
Enjoy,
Steven
Other poorly translated Chinese Harry Potter books you can expect:
Harry Potter and Joyful Adventure with Magical Stick
Harry Potter and Adventure of Pre-Teen Beast Riding.
Harry Potter and Morning of Giant Surprise.
But the title has been released. It’s
[drumroll]
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix.

Is it going to be longer than its predecessors, like each of its predecessors has been? If so, you’ll need a hand truck to carry it around. JK seems to have Tom Clancy-itis - remember how short and economical of words “Hunt For Red October” was, and how each of Tom’s subsequent fiction books got longer and more involved?
Yes, as someone once said “Sorry for the long letter, but I didn’t have enough time to make it shorter.”
It’s taking longer because this time she’s decided to write it in English…
I heard that it, and the subsequent VI and VII, will be shorter than Goblet of Fire. Goblet is supposed to be the centerpiece.
This is, of course, likely to change. Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament, anyone?
That damn leopard always gets it wrong. It’s walk up to Dragon, turn left, walk over to Third, turn right, coffee shop second on the left, three creams, four sugars.
Goddamn leopards always screwing up my orders gonna get fired one of these goddamn days when we get some better help around here.
Don’t DO that! You are a sick, sick person. I read the title, and got all anticipatory, and now it’s back to a sad, dark, potterless world.
Let me tell you, at this point I’m about ready to read the Chinese version on the grounds that it’s better than nothing.
Sounds wonderful. I never knew Harry was that interested in personal hygine. I wonder if he touts the joys of communism later on in the book.
Am I the only one that laughed when I read “creamy cake”?
Wow! And I thought I was overdoing the double entendres.
hmm…i wish we could get the fake one here…it seems rather enjoyable. I’d really like to read more about Aunt Petunias bottom.
Harry Potter and His Flying Lab.
