"It's a little like the Richard Clarke book and a little like the Paul O'Neill book, but with that J. K. Rowling magic thrown in," says Annabelle Kaminski of the industry bible Publishers Weekly. "This is going to be the first book about the Bush White House to move a lot of units with teens and tweens."

According to Ms. Kaminski, the new Rowling book picks up Harry's story as he graduates from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and begins his career as a junior member of the Bush cabinet.

But once he arrives at the White House, young Harry discovers that the entire cabinet is under the spell of a mysterious wizard named Ahmad Chalabi.

"Chalabi has convinced all of the cabinet members that there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and it's up to Harry to remove the spell," says Kaminski. "Ultimately, Harry fails, so he leaves the cabinet and signs a book deal instead."

In other news, interim Iraqi administrator L. Paul Bremer III today said he was exploring "a variety of options" for the June 30 handover of sovereignty to the Iraqi people, including abolishing the month of June.
