Harry Potter, much ado about nothing

[BillK]

I bought one in ASDA today @ £5.00, but that's in England of course.

Picked up a copy at Tesco this morning for €10.90, cheaperst around and I must say it's a real page turner.

Hats off to JK Rowling for her marketing machine. What parent can turn down a child's request for a book?

What parent would want to turn down a request for a book?

Anyway, the title of this thread is misleading; Happy Potter isn't in "Much ado about nothing"

Not generally known but the title "Much Ado about Nothing" also has a bawdy double meaning that a modern reader does not pick up on.

Back in Shakespeare's day, her "nothing" refered to a woman's <censored>.

So the title's bawdy interpretation that Shakespeare would very likely have been aware of (he was quite prolific with the double meanings) would be "A Big fuss over <censored>"
