Don't hold your breath for a Byrds reunion.

"I have no problem with the Byrds," Roger McGuinn says. "I see it as a great memory, and why mess it up by going out and doing it now just for money, because it would just be a cash grab."

Some folks are angry at The New York Times for jumping the gun on reviewing the final Harry Potter book (you may've heard it's coming out Saturday...).

Bloomsbury, which publishes Harry Potter in Britain, and Scholastic, its U.S. publisher, spent millions of dollars trying to protect the contents of the novel until its official publication.

But copies of "Deathly Hallows", believed to include both fake and real versions, have surfaced on the Internet and this week some books were shipped to customers by a U.S. online retailer, prompting Scholastic to take legal action.

The seventh and final Harry Potter instalment is expected to become the world's fastest selling book after months of hype and speculation about its contents, including what happens to the boy wizard and his friends at Hogwarts.

The New York Times review said its copy was purchased from a New York City store on Wednesday.
