| Spoilers (doesn't contain spoilers) |
The Leaky Cauldron has a spoiler policy: don't. Digg has well-dugg threads about posting spoilers: please don't. It seems like just about every newspaper has some kind of circulation-boosting Harry Potter coverage, mentioning that spoilers for Deathly Hallows may be available online. And almost without exception, all those pieces say that Real Fans don't want spoilers, won't read spoilers, and will cut themselves off from the internet if that's what it takes to avoid them.
Bullshit.
Remember the Dallas driveby shouting, "Snape kills Dumbledore"? Now remember Half-Blood Prince? That one sentence bears as much resemblance to the plot of that book as "narrator can't keep to the point" bears to Tristram Shandy. It doesn't spoil anything: the interesting part isn't that Snape kills Dumbledore, it's how that comes to happen. This is why we have books, not just headlines.
Look, she's made me wait ten years to find out what happens. I can't sit quietly and wait for another three days: I'm like Cartman like that. So screw you guys, I'm going to search for clues again.Labels: Harry Potter |
