How to steal an advanced copy of Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince

July 15th, 2005

In order to gain ahold of the coveted Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince, one must take the plunge and do the unexpected.

This is Operation Jo.

Step 1
Step 1: purchase blonde hair dye or wig.

Step 2
Step 2: find an old pair of glasses or blue contact lenses

Step 3
Step 3: learn to act British

Now that we’ve gone this far, you’ve got to commit. You’ve got to go all the way! You’ve got to do everything in your power to pass off this disguise.

What is the actual plan you ask? Well, the plan is to dress up like J.K. Rowling go into your local book vendor and say that you are J.K. Rowling. If your disguise is good enough, and mine was, you can now proceed with Operation Jo.

After entering your local book merchant’s store, go to the front desk/cashier.

1) Ask to speak to the manager (remember to speak with a british accent and continue on with being a woman).
2) Tell him you’re J.K. Rowling. When the manager says that you’re not yell out things like “bloody hell” and keep calling the manager a “wanker”.
3) When the manager finally agrees that you are indeed Ms. J.K. Rowling, tell him you want your books back. If the manager asks why say you have to change the ending or something else trivial like that.
4) If the manager continues to refuse: seduce, seduce, seduce. Nobody can resist a rich and powerful British woman. Take Margaret Thatcher for instance, I bet she got all the guys down at Downing Street.

5) Now that you’ve got all the books in the store ( oh yeah make sure that you rent out a truck ) drive off to your warehouse and enjoy your new treasure.

    You stole this from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart didn’t you?

    Rob Cordry dressed up multiple times, as the wrong person, then mispronounced the last name “Rowling” and didn’t sound british at all. But he was in drag.
