Rowling Hints at More 'Harry Potter' Material

Several days ago, best-selling author J.K. Rowling appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", talking about the possibility of another Harry Potter book.

The online news story is about the issue. I read it on THE CELEBRITY CAFE.COM. The title of the story is "Rowling Hints at More 'Harry Potter' Material" which was published on 1 October 2010. You can read it here.


In terms of content, the story shows, "J.K. Rowling explained she's not ruling out the possibility of more Potter drama during 'The Oprah Winfrey Show'." at first. And then, the story provides the details about what Rowling said. For examples, Rowling said "I could definitely write an eighth, ninth, tenth…", "I'm not going to say I won't. I don't think I will … I feel I am done, but you never know…" and "It was bereavement when finishing the last of the Harry Potter series -- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows…" Although it is a short news story, the content is informative and clear, because I seem to have watched this show through reading it. 

Moreover, the story has some values, because the people who have never watched the show can get the news via reading the story online. Also, for those readers who are addicted to the Harry Potter series, it is an exciting news story.

However, without relevant photos, videos and other materials typical of online news story, the online page looks very dull. If I was the editor, I would offer some useful links about Rowling and the Harry Potter series and the video of the show which could help readers to obtain more information.

Lady Gaga as an American recording artist began performing in the rock music scene of New York City's Lower East Side in 2003. She came to fame with her debut album "The Fame" in 2008. She is not only a glam rock artist, but also a highly stylish woman. Her boldly avant-garde style often arouses widespread attention.

The title of the online news story is "Lady Gaga Trades in the Meat Dress for a Hair Dress", being published on 1 October 2010 on Pop Star web site. You can read the story here.


In the matter of content, the story points out, "Gaga gave a performance at New York City's intimate Oak Room in a dress made entirely of human hair." at first. Then, it shows the details about the dress which is held together by glue and string and is constructed of long brown and strawberry blonde locks. In addition, the story indicates, "a similarly hairy poncho was first spotted on 'America's Next Top Model'.". Finally, the story mentions her famed meat dress, a political symbol for gay rights. The content is informative and corresponding with the theme.


Moreover, the story has certain values. According to past experiences, Gaga as a famous singer and fashion star, her exotic costumes always become the focus of public attention. Therefore, the story of her hair dress, the latest example of her naked fashion style, will cause widespread  concorn. 

In addtion, the online page has the main story, an photo about Gaga wearing the hair dress and message area where readers can express their opinions unreservedly. If the story provided some relevant links which could help readers to know more, it would be perfect.
