Harry Potter V due out June 21st:

Sounds like this one will be a good one!

Interesting part of the article, though, and something I'm wondering -- the picture caption describes JK Rowling as "Master of the Potter series"

Shouldn't that be "Mistress of the Potter series"? Or is master/mistress going the way of actor/actress and being neutralized? I'm all for neutralization, but the formality of the term kinda threw me.

Here in Canada, the acting awards are given out to best female and best male actor, which seems nonsensical to me, I guess if I ever win one, I'll have to make some impassioned speech.

Mistress just sounds so much more baaaaaddddd ass than master, I think.
