Sneak Preview of the Harry Potter Sequel

During a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, J.K. Rowling implied that it was possible she would write more Harry Potter novels. "WHY, WHY, WHY?" - the question that Oprah should have asked - was ignored for the more demure, "Why?" to which Rowling replied simply, that the act of earning billions of dollars gave her enormous sexual pleasure. The two then shared a fist bump.

This revelation has sparked a great deal of speculation about what Rowling could possibly write about. After all, at the end of the last book, Harry had finished school, his greatest nemesis lay dead and everyone was living the hell out of happily ever after. What could possibly be left for Rowling to do with her favorite money spinning machine? Harry Potter and the Phoned In Plot? Harry Potter and the Secret of the Clip Episode? Harry Potter and the Tokyo Drift?

To get this scoop before everyone else, Cracked used all of its reporting ingenuity and resources -- a USB thumb drive and a monkey with some extremely questionable training -- to acquire a draft of the first chapter of Rowling's new novel.

Having read it, we can tell you that it's still a little rough. It's also got an edgy new take on the title character that we think will probably split a lot of opinion. We still like it though, and if we had to give it a grade on a scale from 1 to Potter-tastic, we'd probably give it an 11.
