Potter Mania in Final Month!

With the release of the final Harry Potter just over a month away, Potter mania is spreading to the World Wide Web very quickly.

NBC News has secured an exclusive interview with JK Rowling to be held in July, and the TODAY show has set up an entire area of their web site with Potter information and articles, as well as a chance to submit reasons why you're the biggest Potter fan. Submissions could be eligible for a chance to appear on TV to discuss why you love Potter if your story is great enough!

And, while looking around Amazon today, it looks like a new "Muggle Counter" has debuted on their main page showing how many orders have been taken for the final book so far! Is your order part of their astounding total, updated hourly?
