Now all three networks have provided free publicity for this weekend's publication of the finale of novelist JK Rowling's Harry Potter series. Monday, ABC's Dean Reynolds investigated the hypersecrecy at Scholastic's Indiana printing press. Yesterday, NBC's Janet Shamlian told us about Websites that offer photographs of each page so the embargoed conclusion can be read in advance online. Now, CBS' Sandra Hughes shows us a real-life owner of an advance copy: Robin Lenz, the managing editor of Publisher's Weekly, bought a book on eBay for an early review, part of a distributor's mistaken early shipment. Not to worry, Hughes reassured us: most muggles are not interested in finding out the ending of Deathly Hallows "before they have read it for themselves."
