Happily Noted: The UN Makes Harry Potter Go 'Round
Posted by Heather Hurlburt

What have international organizations done for America lately?  I am not making up this excerpt from the UN's daily briefing:

DELIVERY OF HARRY POTTER BOOKS A FEAT FOR WORLD POSTAL SERVICES

  • The Universal Postal Union (UPU) is also joining Potter-Mania as millions of copies of the seventh and final Harry Potter novel will go on sale July 21.

  • The UPU – the primary forum of cooperation between Posts—says that never before in the history of the postal service, will postmen and women the world over have delivered so many identical books on the same day.

Wizardly thanks to the young-at-heart Potter fan in sunny CA who pointed this out to me.
