Israeli children and simple-minded adults who are hankering for their shot at the final Harry Potter have run into a roadblock: Head Heebs in the Holy Land are trying to keep bookstores closed at the appointed hour of the novel's release. Sadly, that hour comes "at 2:01 a.m. local time this Saturday—on the Jewish Sabbath, when Israeli law requires most businesses to close." Some stores are planning to open anyway—these are Jews, let's remember, and a buck's a buck—which has resulted in predictable outrage from the more Adonai-adoring elements of Israeli society.
