I'm seeing reports of alleged Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows spoilers all over the place. Hell, I was on YouTube earlier and someone had posted what I assume was a list of prominent deaths and the pages on which they occur in the comments section. Folks are disabling comments, posting warnings, and contemplating unplugging their computers. It's craziness.
I pre-ordered Deathly Hallows for my dad for Father's Day. We're going to visit him next month. Since I've only read the first two books, my cunning plan, conceived after making the purchase - honest - was that I would read books 3 through 6 in the weeks leading up to our vacation so I could, ah, "borrow" the final volume and check it out. I realize now that I don't have the time for that. I also realize that - although I have yet to run across any actual spoilers - I'm not actively avoiding them.
So here's the deal. If you're one of those pathetic jagoffs so cognitively stunted you have to fuck up everyone else's fun, feel free to post your bullshit here. Now understand that I have to approve every comment, which means I won't allow spoilers to actually appear on the site. However, I can promise I'll read them myself, which should hopefully satisfy whatever obnoxious compulsions you have.
Everyone else, go ahead and chat. I promise not to let anything through that will ruin the fun.
Thanks for the link, Greg. I am a big Potter fan, but don’t mind a little preview!
Pete, I think book 3 is the best of the 6 I’ve read so far. And they go fast, so if you really wanted to read books 3-6, you could do it in about a week or so.
I eagerly await my CD (Jim Dale is awesome, reading the HP books) Pete- you should listen to them! I will kill any person who spoils this for me, I am considering calling out sick until we are done listening to them, perhaps the biosphere from that Pauly Shore disaster of a movie is available for me to live in, until I finish the book!
Some jag off at a hotel this am where I was picking up people this morning screamed out to his friend, “I just got a call from home…Harry Potter in the end” and then proceeds to tell the end…..I could have freakin hit him…what an ass…
Pete, FF’s right, they are fast reads—if you haven’t already started, you should go ahead and read #3-6. Number 7 will be waiting for you—I also agree that #3 was the best…till now—#7 is the best.
