Potterphile

Advance orders for the newest installment, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which won't be in U.S. stores until September, have reached 920,000, though impatient Potterphiles are ordering it from Britain via Amazon.com.

In the interest of full disclosure, let it be said: This reviewer is not a Potterphile, has never cracked a Potter book or darkened the door of a theater playing one of the Potter movies.

As every Potterphile knows, there comes a time in Book Seven when Harry has to choose between two courses of action in his quest to deal with the evil Lord Voldemort.
