"Boy wizard Harry Potter is taking to the stage in a musical based on the smash-hit books."
The article was published in The Sunday Mirror, a tabloid. More than likely it's a rumor, but it's fun to think about nonetheless.
My initial reaction: shock. I've let it sort of sink in now, but I'm still caught off guard. How does a hard core Harry Potter fan react to the idea of live theatre? First a theme park, now a musical? Harry Potter is taking over the world! I'm not sure 
how they're going to manage to get all seven books in one show. It seems like they should stick to one novel. Daniel Radcliff (the guy that plays Harry in the movies) is quoted as saying, "The plan is for spectacular flying scenes [like Wicked! (see photo)], live Quidditch and big showdowns with Voldemort." There are no current plans for the show to come to America, but when it does I'll be first in line. Robin and I joked that we should study abroad in London when for a semester. I can imagine the application now: "What's you're motivation for applying for our highly competitive study abroad program?" "Harry Potter the Musical!"

Hey, I don't know if you've heard, but a college has done a version of Haryr Potter the Musical. It is hillarious! You can watch it at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JnQuMyzPfE . It is separated into two acts. Act one has twelve parts and act two has nine parts. But it is sooo worth it.
