Rowling urges people not to ruin Potter ending
I just read this article, and I must say, I totally agree. Especially these bits:
Potter books are released under tight security but The Leaky Cauldron said nuggets of information do leak out, sometimes from bookstore workers or librarians.
The site said it would not post anything about possible content of the book or the fate of Harry Potter unless it came from Rowling.
"And if you decide to tell us before that, you'll incur the wrath of a staff of almost 200, most of whom have been waiting almost 10 years for these final revelations and can NEVER get back the moment you rob by spoiling them," wrote the webmaster of The Leaky Cauldron, Melissa Anelli.
Rowling backed Anelli's comments.
"Some, perhaps, will read this and take the view that all publicity is good publicity, that spoilers are part of hype, and that I am trying to protect sales rather than my readership," she wrote.
"However, spoilers won't stop people buying the book, they never have -- all it will do is diminish their pleasure in the book."
I don't want to know ANYTHING. Even knowing that she's said she'd kill two characters in this book is too much information for me.
