Isn't calling them "morons" just a *little* rich? :-)

On the other hand, it's only us fanatics who read these articles so 
carefully... The average Sun reader is probably incapable of registering 
what the text means anyway. Besides, the film is so far away that by the 
time the WB publicity machine cranks up and all the papers start writing 
things, God only knows what spoilers will be let loose. Frankly, I'm 
astonished that so few media outlets let the Tom Riddle-Voldemort 
connection out of the bag (some did, of course).

I'm sure that by the time PoA is released, there'll be stuff about Lupin 
being a werewolf, Harry's Patronus being his father and lots of other 
things. I'm prepared to lay odds even now that a picture of a (were)wolf 
and of Harry's Patronus will be among the publicity shots made available.
