Harry Potter and the Spoiler Warning that Ate DF
If you have no connection to the Potterverse and/or no interest whatsoever in reading Book 6, please move along and have an awesome day!
-- MOD POST --
Hey all! This is one of those rare instances where you'll see me be all modly, as really, you're awesome and don't need much moderating.
That said, this post concerns the impending doom of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I'm all geeked out in costume bringing you this message of love and magic wands.
Given that many of us will not have read the book within thirty minutes of its release, I'm proposing at least three (3) months of spoiler cuts. This means that if you are to post anywhere to the community or the friends page and wish to discuss book six, it is requested that you put anything and everything about it under an LJ-Cut. It's quite easy, and I'm sure most of you know how to do it, but here's a refresher:
Will turn into something like:
( SPOILERS AHEAD )
And any text following will be hidden from the masses.
Given that there are a load of Potter characters on DF, how you control them after the book is up to you. There hasn't been any discussion on it, so I reckon there'll be a bit of confusion before things fall into play entirely as they should. I've no idea what'll become of Ron, but I guess we'll wait and see. All I'm concerned about at this point is SPOILERS and how to prevent them.
Thanks kindly for reading!

EDIT: On that note, this also applies to the DF CHATROOM. Any HBP discission within the chat must occur in private! Perhaps a second room is in order? We'll see! Happy reading!
