So Misguided

It’s been quite the Harry Potter day today.

1. The final cover artwork was announced today. See the Raincoast website for details.

I am a huge fan of the Adult edition designs and the final book looks spectacular. I love the locket. I’ll have to start re-reading the series so that my brain is primed for the big day on July 21.

2. A kind-hearted reader sent along this YouTube link for my viewing pleasure. It’s puppet-threatre meets fan-fiction. I love the “ticking”. I also want to create a Monique puppet for my video reviews. What do you think? Any crafters in the audience?
Watch the video to find out what the hell I’m talking about.

3. Another kind-hearted reader, who knows I’m a Harry fan, sent over this video of the Scholastic editor unveiling the cover of the US edition on the Today show. Watch the video.

4. Scholastic also has a cool flash app creating an interactive picture of the book cover. (I think it’s done in flash, correct me if I’m wrong. I also want to learn how to do this. Anyone know?) Check out the US cover on Scholastic.

Other than that, it’s just been a hairy day. 

I most definitely forsee a finger puppet workshop party in the near future.

I think Susie’s done that fancy magnifying glass thing before - at her talk at Northern Voice, she showed an art dealer’s site where she had implemented it. (See, I was listening and not blogging/twittering/photographing at the time!)

PS. You are a rockstar.

Thank you for the tip. I will have to ask Super Susie about the magnifying glass. And, if you are going to help with my puppet, you are the rockstar.

That puppet show is fabulous. I look forward to seeing a Monique puppet tap dance while reviewing a book. That would be the best use of the internet ever!!!
