Breaking: Harry Potter Book Ruined By Vandals

KYW 1060 reports today a rash of vandals who are cutting out the final pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in the series. Well, okay, not so much of a rash of vandals, but, like, one copy of the book was missing a bunch of the final pages.

Melissa Antinoff from Mount Laurel, New Jersey, was all settled in, ready for bed about to finish ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’, when she realized several pages were missing: “Well, I could have cried, I got to page 706 and got to what I think is the top of 707 and the two sentences don’t match so I look down and it said 739.”

Frustrated to say the least, Mellisa says she thought of heading back to the bookstore, but it was almost 11 o’clock and she was sure they’d be closed. She had to wait until the morning, and she says she actually dreamed about the book.

I have to agree with Homer Simpson here: “Oh yea, this that fantasy book that even grownups like — broken, lonely grownups.”

Update: Somebody let me know if Will Bunch is kidding here; I’ve been trying to figure it out for a few days and am stumped.
