Harry Potter

[emmelinemay]

General notice -

I haven't read it yet, as I haven't had the time.

I will be genuinely upset if anyone gives anything away, regardless of whether you think that I clearly 'don't care enough' to have finished by now.

I haven't even started it yet, reason being, in addition to really liking the series, I also have a life, which, annoyingly enough, continues despite the fact I'd much rather be reading.

Here endeth my public announcement. I will be unlikely to post comments in any post about HP7, in case I accidentally read something I don't want to.

Edit - this includes fake spoilers. I have no way of knowing if it's true or not. (unless they are quite blatantly not true. Like, Voldemort becomes a Jehovah's witness and bakes everyone cookies to say sorry, and even returns lolrus' bucket, which he stole all along...)

I am quite bemused by the number of smug people out there going 'I don't care about Harry Potter, people that care are STUPID and so i'm going to tell them what happens HA HA HA.' I'm taking about people on my FL, but there's been a lot of it on LJ communities and here in the office. Why would someone get so much pleasure out of ruining the end of something that doesn't matter to them for someone that does?

Someone on my F List has just given away a type of plot twist, not on purpose I imagine but even so. I don't want to know! Mind you, I haven't even read book 4 yet BUT...

apparently Mildred Hubble turns out to be Harry's father, and Meg and Mog were THE SAME PERSON ALL ALONG!

good times.

I think as long as you stay out of people's posts about the book, you should be ok. I was surprised to see there were no spoilers on my friends list.

Hopefully you can get started on the book soon! It's very good!

I haven't started it yet either - I am trying to re-read all the others so I can remember what is going on, since it's so long since I read them. I'm currently half way through book 4 so won't be reading it for a while!

it really annoys me the extent to which people accidentally let things slip, I mean really with Harry Potter even saying that the ending is sad (that's an example, not me saying that the ending is sad!) counts as a spoiler. and it also bugs me when people don't update spoiler free posts when spoilers turn up in comments.

I mean really it's not that hard to keep your fucking mouth shut is it? silly people...

I think you should take your time and enjoy it - after all, it's the last time you're going to be able to read a Harry Potter story for the first time isn't it?
