a request re: that Potter thing
Jul. 13th, 2007 01:18 pmSo, the new book comes out a week from tomorrow, and I know y'all (or some large subset thereof) are going to read it the moment you get it in your hot little hands and want to talk about it. I ask only that you please please pretty please be diligent about warning of spoilers and use lots of cuts to hide them. I always get my copy about 3 days *after* everyone else because I order it from the UK[1], and I want to enjoy it without knowing how it ends. I don't want to know if Harry dies. I don't want to know if Hermione gets it on with a Death Eater. I don't want to know if the entire Weasley family is done in by Voldemort and ends up as sloppy joes in the Hogwart's cafeteria. Honest! I want to find these things out all by myself.
Thank you. We now return you to your regularly scheduled surfing...

[1] Not because I'm a snob. Because I ordered the first one from the UK because it wasn't out here yet in the US, and every subsequent one because I'm anal enough to need my books to match.[2]
[2] Also, because I'm perfectly capable of figuring out what a torch is, what chips are, and I'm not thrown off my readerly stride by seemingly extraneous vowels in my words ("colour", etc.)[3]
[3] Also, the cover art is significantly better.[4]
[4] All the above of which I guess makes me a snob after all. Ooops.
