Ok, I admit it, I cried at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Yea, though she tugs on my heartstrings, I still resent J.K. Rowling for her assorted imperfections as a writer. Ah well. If you have finished the novel, and need a giggle to cheer you up, check out the Guardian's Alternative Potter contest.

Read the--no spoilers here--VERY SIGNIFICANT ENDING rewritten in the style of famous authors from Chaucer to the depression-inducing Dan Brown. I shudder to even speak his name. Rowling is Shakespeare compared to that clown. [via LISNews]
