Harry Potter V due out June 21st:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/books/01/15/new.potter/index.html

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.

The actor/actress thing has always been a pet peeve of mine. Like a female performer has to refer to herself as an 'actor' to be taken seriously.

Ohhh, at the risk of sounding like a complete and utter dork, which by the way, I am, but not the point, this has totally made my day. Yeah, I should get out more. :)
