Thank Christ, the final Potter book came out last night.

A shit book for kids, overhyped like no-one's bizniz.

Someone tell me what happens in this new one so I can revel in the glory of the redheaded lad.

I was just listening to the radio, and it was saying that there have been people (grown adults) dressed as various characters from the book queueing up all night to buy a copy.

I've just started reading Paul Carter's - Don't Tell Mum I Work On The Rigs, She Thinks I'm A Piano Player In A Whorehouse.

Hogwarts, my arse.

Is about 12, isn't she?

Well I can't say that I approve, Batman, but I admire your honesty!

Th'ending, in sort of inviso-text

At Hogsmeade, Harry and friends are cornered by Death Eaters and saved by Aberforth Dumbledore. Aberforth opens a secret passageway to Hogwarts, where Neville Longbottom greets them. After saving Draco Malfoy's life, Harry finds Ravenclaw's Diadem in the room of requirement and it is destroyed. Harry, Hermione and Ron go to the Shrieking Shack, where they see Voldemort kill Snape, believing this will transfer the Elder wand's power to him. As he dies, Snape gives up memories to Harry, which reveal that Snape was on Dumbledore's side, motivated by his lifelong love of Lily Potter. Snape was asked by Dumbledore to kill him if the situation demands it; the curse placed on the horcrux ring limited his life, regardless. Furthermore, Harry is the final horcrux and needs to die before Voldemort can be killed. Resigned to his fate, Harry sacrifices himself to Voldemort, and is seemingly killed, but finds that the spell destroyed the part of Voldemort's soul he had inside himself. After Nagini is killed by Neville, Voldemort is killed by attempting to use the Elder Wand when his Death Curse against Harry is deflected back at him by the Elder Wand itself.

In the story's epilogue, taking place 19 years (2017) after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry and Ginny Weasley have three children named James, Albus Severus, and Lily. Ron and Hermione have two children named Rose and Hugo. Draco has a child named Scorpius. They all meet at King's Cross, about to send their children to Hogwarts at the beginning of term. It is revealed that Harry's scar has not hurt since the Dark Lord's defeat, and there, the story ends.

For anyone who is into Harry Potter - my daughter is very much so - they are selling the book for £5.00 at Asda.

Just been down to my local one - they had 100's of them for sale.

End of day, a woman wrote a fantasy series of books for young kids, had them made into films, made herself a fortune and pleased half the kids in the nation in the process. Sounds prety reasonable to me folks.

There was this 18-19 year old girl dressed up as a witch of some sort on the news the other day, camping outside of a shop waiting to get the book.

She said " I've grown up with Harry Potter, now I won't be able to discuss theories with my friends about the book, what will I do with my life?"

I thought 'Get one you idiot'.

Blimey it is (after doing exchange rate calculations) about 13 pounds in Australia. Although wouldn't even buy it at Asda prices.

Batman, you've had a nightmare there.

I've just checked and she's just turned 17, but she doesn't look a day over 15!
