I received this today from the Muggles for Harry Potter folks.  And I 
stand corrected, *bizarre little lizards* was not an appropriate way 
to describe Komodo dragons.  The *little* part, anyway; it sounds as 
if they ARE pretty bizarre. -- Joywitch

		   MUGGLES FOR HARRY POTTER UPDATE

COUNTDOWN TO KIDSPEAK CONTINUES.  ORDER MUGGLES BUTTONS NOW OR NEVER!

	As we reported in the last Muggles Update, Muggles for Harry
Potter will become Kidspeak on Dec. 1.  The response to the 
announcement
has been encouraging.  While some Muggles are sorry that we are 
changing
our name, many more are excited that they will be part of the first 
Web
site dedicated to defending the First Amendment rights of kids.

	As we also reported, once Kidspeak is launched we will no
longer sell Muggles buttons.  If you have been thinking about placing
an order, act now.  We are already out of Muggles posters.

	 To order online, go to http://www.abffe.com.  This is the Web
site of the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, one 
of
the sponsors of Muggles for Harry Potter.  Click on the "ABFFE Store"
button at the top of the page.  Then, click on "Muggles for Harry 
Potter"
link. You may also send a check made payable to "ABFFE."  The address 
is
ABFFE, 139 Fulton St., Suite 302, New York, NY 10038.  Individual
buttons are $3.50 each, including shipping and handling.  Bags of 100
may be ordered for $40, plus shipping and handling.  (ABFFE members 
may
order bags for $30 each.)
    

ABFFE OFFERS MUGGLES FOR HARRY POTTER T-SHIRT TO NEW MEMBERS

	ABFFE is offering a free Muggles for Harry Potter T-shirt to 
the
next 100 people who join the foundation.  The Muggles for Harry 
Potter 
shirt was created in June as a one-time promotional item for BookExpo
America, a publishing trade show. The shirts, which feature the same 
art
as the Muggles for Harry Potter button, were priced at $18 and quickly
sold out.  This is a one-time chance to own one of these collector's
items (Adult Large and X-Large only).

	In addition to the shirt, new ABFFE members receive a free 
2001
Banned Books Week Kit (a $35 value); a subscription to ABFFE Update, 
the
monthly ABFFE newsletter; the ABFFE handbook, "Censorship and First
Amendment Rights"; ABFFE's pamphlets on special free speech problems
like obscenity and hate speech; and the handsome ABFFE membership pin.

        ABFFE membership is $35 for individuals.        
          
        You can join ABFFE online using the ABFFE Store, 
www.abffe.com.
(If you join online, send an e-mail to tim at abffe.com telling us what
size shirt you want.)  You may also join by calling (212) 587-4025 or
sending a check to ABFFE, 139 Fulton St., Suite 302, New York, NY 
10038.
