About. Damn. Time.

July 20th, 2007 — Meta from Headmaster @ Blogging Harry Potter
According to Kevin Kelly they do.
Read his full blog post, but his thesis is that the hivemind of Harry Potter fanatics likely has discerned some modicum of truth about most of the major unresolved plot points.
So much for leaks?
