 Harry Potter joke on Saturday Night Live
With about a month and a half to go before the publication of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it seems that Harry Pottermania is even hitting the comedy writers at Saturday Night Live.
On this Saturday's show, in the Weekend Update segment, Jimmy Fallon read this story:
The fifth Harry Potter book, which goes on sale in July, will have a record printing of 8.5 million copies, which explains why the sixth book is being called "Harry Potter and the End of Trees".

We should note that Jimmy Fallon was being liberal with the book's release date, which is really scheduled for June 21.
