| | |  New British prime minister reads Potter
Never mind the fact Gordon Brown will only be a few weeks in office at the time, the next prime minister of Britain plans to get his copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows this July just like everyone else. Brown, a friend of J.K. Rowling’s, said Deathly Hallows is definitely on his summer reading list. Quote:
I will probably want to dip into J.K. Rowling, hoping that is something my sons will want to read later.
I think reading, in the literal sense, broadens the mind. It opens up to you ideas and themes and vistas that you otherwise would never really grasp.
For my whole life, the idea of reading books and getting the chance to read books and the time to read books is something which is both empowering and really exciting.
Summer is the best time to read books.
Note: For those of you who clicked the link above to the source article, yes, they referred to Deathly Hallows as Half-Blood Prince, and yes they have the wrong publication date ... and yes, I brought it to their attention.   | |

Perhaps he also has a portrait in his office that announces when the Minister of Magic is about to arrive?

I already like him. Then again, I don't know a thing about his political agenda. | |

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

I like Gordon Brown a lot. He's been through lots of things, and even though some were his fault, the things that aren't are very much worse.
Yay for Harry Potter, making it's mark in politics!

He's just trying to get hip with the kids. I am not too keen on Gordon Brown, and none of the Labour Government either. And I don't think (hope) that he isn't our next PM.
But Harry Potter should be read by everyone.

That would be so awesome! Now I have to find a way to go into the PM's office just to see if there is a portrait of a frog-like man in there.
This is a brilliant news piece, though. Love the fact that Brown is a Potter fan. | |
