"Hi, I'm some blonde woman who's meant to look cool for the teenagers, and here are today's headlines."

"Scientists make new, pointless invention and more pointless, obsessive Harry Potter talk."

Blonde woman faces camera. "We start off with the new invention made by scientists. It's been created in Japan and it will help kids and teenagers travel around more quickly. It's called the Hooter Scooter, and it's very safe and uses solar power. Lezo reports."

*Lezo is outside a school. No surprise there.*

"Hello, I'm Lezo, and I'm here to tell you about this new invention. There are lots of inventions in Harry Potter, you know!!" Anyway, as blonde woman said, the Hooter Scooter uses solar power and children over the age of 9 can ride it, on path or road. It means you can show off your cool scooter to your friends when you go and see Harry Potter at the cinema, or you can ride it to your mate's house where you'll most likely be reading Harry Potter. It's so easy to control! Here's Scientist Troy McLure. Hey Troy."

*camera faces Troy*

"Hi, I'm Troy McLure. You may remember me from such programmes as The Simpsons, and "Earwigs?? Ewwww...." Today I'm here to talk to you about the Hooter Scooter. Now, I'm sure you all have lots of interests."

"Like Harry Potter," Lezo butts in.

"Yes...like Harry Potter, and our clean, environmentally friendly Hooter Scooter will help you travel without annoying your parents! Of course it'll cluster up the roads, but as long as you kids can get around, that's fine."

"And how much will it cost?" Lezo asks, showing a Harry Potter book to the camera at the same time.

"Around £2000."

"Ah, right. Well...I expect if you can't afford that, you can all buy more Harry Potter things!! That's all from me."

*Back to studio, where blonde woman is supposedly laughing at Lezo*

"Hehe, thanks very much Lezo. We've had some e-mails from what you think about the music industry, and Matt's at the Newsround Web Desk. Matt."

"Thanks, here's an e-mail from 14 year-old Thomas. He says, "the so solid cru r great, and they rulez the music world. other stuff is rubbish.""

"Well, 9-year-old Katey disagrees with this statement, she says, "pop music is great, like Hear'Say and Westlife."

And finally, it looks as though Lezo has sent his own e-mail in, here's what it says, "EVERYONE READ HARRY POTTER!!!" Hehe, thanks for that Lezo. Back to the studio."

*Back to blonde woman, who's now been joined by Lezo*

"So Lezo, what do you think of Phillip Pullman's brilliant trilogy winning the biggest Book award of the year?"

"Well, it's good, but nothing like Harry Potter!! I couldn't out Harry Potter down!! It's so great!! All the magic, all the wiza-"

"Okay Lezo."

"All the witches!! The baddies!!"

"Yes Lezo."

"All the Quidditch!! I wish Quidditch were real!!"

"Shush Lezo."

"Harry Potter is brill!!"

"Okay, thanks for watching, bye."

*Lezo's rambling continues as show goes off air*

_____________________

Now, is it me, or has Newsround become totally obsessed with Harry Potter?? Especially that Lezo, who can't shut up about it. Of course it's good kids are excited about it, but why continue to mention it?? Surely they can think of something else to make their show 'cool'??

They showed something about the brilliant Phillip Pullman winning that massive book award the other day, and they still mentioned Harry Potter during that!

And asking children and teenagers for their opinions!?!? Do they really expect to get any intellectual responses whatsoever!? Madness, I tell youz, madness.

Anyone who wants to join me in my rant against Newsround, please do so.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

hahahahahaha, lol, that is sooooooo funny!
It's all so true Ant that it's scary!

Did u see it today, guess what was mentioned yet again,
Yes, you guessed it

'Bloody Harry Potter!!'

But, it was quite amazing though because he actually spoke to a woman, (Rachel from S-Club7) today, which shows us he's not some type of weirdo who only loves one thing in his whole, sad and crap life and that is BLOODY HARRY POTTER!

Anyway, great post Ant

lol, very funny Ant another good one, ive noticed that aswell i don't actually watch news round but when i think about it every time i have ever watched it, there has been something about Harry Potter. Strange that i did go to see the film but i heared it wasn't that good and the children couldn't act

Hey, I don't mind Harry Potter. But Pullman's Dark Trilogy was much better, and it really does annoy me that way Newsround cannot shut up about Harry Potter.

I mean, they advertised stupild Lego versions of Hogwarts Castle!

"How much would you give for one of these?? All your pocket money perhaps?!"

errrrrrr-no.
