Both these articles refer to the incidents that have been going on the past weeks before the much awaited release of the seventh and final copy of the Harry Potter book series. Although the contents in them can be quite different they are referring to the same topic: the spoilers of the last edition of Harry Potter. Link number one informs us about a supposed release of the seventh book online, while link number two deals mostly with the fact that the reason why some people are already suspecting how the series ends is because many of the involved in the publishing and printing areas have been leaking out certain information about it.
We may appreciate how in link number one the information is displayed in a such a way that the facts are not exactly shown but instead they are told, whereas in the second article it presents the news using both facts and quotations from very reliable sources. Even though both articles come from sources that can always be trusted, it may be suggested that cbs news
handles a more precise information. However we can also say that netither of the articles seem bias but instead are just portraying the information exactly as it is obtained and they are just reports on the events, the causes and the consequences of them therefore there seems to be no
objectivity and neither of the journalists of them give an exact opinion on the subject but just limit themselves to narrate what is happening.
J.K Rowling fails to keep her secret
After concluding with her final edition of the Harry Potter series, and just a few weeks before its release there have been reports of the cop being available online. Sources have said that there is a web page in where the book is shown through pictures if each of its pages. Although most of it is very illegible the ending is one page that can be definitely read easily. Before finishing writing the book J.K Rowling said in an interview that the ending of her piece was “scar” , however she then regretted this commentary stating that she will not give a final word on it. Despite this fact and the immense amount of security and secrecy there has been applied to such a book people involved with the publishing and editing of it have had the courage of violating many of the rules and laws towards this release and as it has been reported a whole copy of several pages and the summary was emailed to one of the web masters of a fan site. And its incidents like these that have turned the release of the book an even more awaiting and unpredictable event, however it has also affected it seriously since now that its on the web the finale has been completely ruined, especially for those who have been following the texts through out these past years. The secrecy of a such important item of literary history was completely lost and with it a lot of it’s magic which has always been an important characteristic of the Harry Potter novels. There are still no reports on J.K Rowling’s response to such an insult, but it is most likely that this issue turns into a huge judicial scandal. On the upside there are still millions of fans waiting for the clock to strike midnight this Friday, date of the official release.
