Hear, hear!  (Now I know how to spell it, I'm going to darn well use 
it!)

We were up in Northampton this weekend, and Mickey's mother kindly 
saved me the Sunday People Magazine HP supplement.  "Souvenir issue" 
no less.

There weren't ANY brand new film pictures as promised.  In fact, all 
the photos were very grainy and looked as though they were bad copies 
(or bootlegged).

The Quiz was an insult.  Anyone on this list would have got 100%, no 
problems, and apparently this means::

"Are you a cunningly disguised JK Rowling?  You know almost as much 
about Harry as the author herself."   

I wish!  And this for answering questions such as which book was 3rd 
in the series.

To be expected, but very disappointing nonetheless.  Now, if I could 
get hold of a copy of Premier - I'm getting sick of seeing Cameron 
Diaz everytime I fruitlessly check to see whether November's issue 
has hit London yet.
