Heow 'bout dat, Hon! de Bawlmer Sun is in de Neews! (being a phonetic representation of how folks talk 'reound 'ere)

Hard to believe our little local could scoop the more serious papers but the Baltimore Sun has obtained a copy of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows from a relative of a news desk employee and published a review today (the NYT also has a review).

If you would like to read the Sun story, it is here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/lifestyle/bal-to.potter19jul19,0,6775865.story

It is largely spoiler free. The author does tell what the Deathly Hallows are, and whether Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts or not, but otherwise keeps the books content very much under wraps. There some guesses one could make from the little the reporter does choose to say, but no way of knowing if those guesses are at all correct.

The article detailing how the relative got his copy is here:
