As we approach to the launch of the new Harry Potter book, the inevitable leaks of the book spoilers have led to J. K. Rowling and her legions of lawyers to swoop down on unsuspecting recipients of the book like goblins on a stray galleon. Just what lengths will the author go to to keep her book a secret? The winning punchline was submitted by Nodrog_CRC. There were 6 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #430 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2005-07-21.
