She’s Harry Potter with a toilet mouthBILL BROWNSTEIN,
The GazettePublished: 8 hours agoSee her once and, guaranteed, you’ll never forget her. DeAnne Smith is much aware that comedy audiences are as mystified as they are amused by her presence. She sums up their reactions best: “Why is Harry Potter talking about vaginas?”Smith may look like Harry Potter, but she sounds more like Amy Poehler. She hails from the wee burg of Binghamton in upstate New York - not far from Popes Ravine and Fivemile Point. She is now a hit on the Montreal as well as the Australian laugh circuits. Not bad for someone who has only been honing her craft the last four years. But her success is no accident.

Harry Potter and the freezing Boks
Independent Online, South Africa 
One of them was Bakkies Botha, who with 100 percent vision restored to both eyes, watched his team-mates go through a mercifully short session at the Fettes College fields on the outskirts of Edinburgh. In another obscure record of sorts, the players were probably at the most expensive school they have ever trained at. This exclusive and ancient establishment looks like Harry Potter’s school and at ?50 000 (around R790 000) a year, it boasts among its old boys current Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his predecessor, Tony Blair. The latter took full part in the session, while Botha is one follow-up examination by a specialist away from being available for selection after his eye was gouged by a Welshman. The sun actually shone for the first time since the Boks arrived at Heathrow Airport on November 1, but the gale blowing in from the North Sea chilled observers to the bone. Later, back at the Boks’ hotel on the Royal Mile that leads up to the castle overlooking the city, Peter de Villiers said there would be no policy of rotation on this tour and that if a player came into the starting line-up, it would be a form issue (presumably also for the player making way).
