Posting Harry Potter Spoilers Would Be Mean, Wouldn't It?
You know, I wouldn't do it..... unless someone asked.

3. Posting spoilers is alway mean, Stephen Hunter.
I just included the "Stephen Hunter" bit because he notoriously put a spoiler RIGHT IN HIS CAPSULE REVIEW for a film listed in The Washington Post.

Seriously, though, it all boils down to never start smoking, be sure to look both ways when you cross the street, drink enough water, and never give out spoilers. :-)

6. i know
but it's so hard to keep a secret. Especially for me, because I'm not really into Harry Potter. I just find the whole idea of the secrecy behind the book and how it ends to be hilarious.

On Friday my girlfriend and I are going to the bookstore to wait on line for the book. I really really really want to get on line and go "you know ____ dies at the end."

Just to see what would happen.

4. My brother already told me the spoilers.
Well, at least who dies.












SPOILER-ish thing AHEAD!



















:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: WHY DOES IT HAVE TO MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!?!? :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. She has killed off all of my favorites. :(

9. That does it. No more DU threads until afterwards.
I will make an exception for one or two boards, but that's it -- no more Lounge.

See you later.

5. Don't post the spoilers but say how you know.
With all the secrecy that's far more interesting.

8. i can give you the link
someone posted photos of the actual pages from the book. Which isn't surprising, because my g/f is a librarian and they accidentially sent copies of the new book to her library yesterday and the library actually sent it back to the publisher because they're not allowed to have the book in the library yet.

14. To be REALLY mean
You'd post them Friday night. You know there are some who couldn't help looking. People like me, who have waited semi-patiently to read "the end."

I'll tell you -- I never, never expected Harry to disclose that Hermione is his long-lost twin sister!!!

Although the revelation that Snape was their father was pretty easy to guess.
