Spoilers Stink Like Aberforth's Goats

jenny_wildcatJust a friendly reminder from the folks at Harry and the Potters, the Leaky Cauldron and PotterCast: Nobody likes a spoil sport and nobody likes to be spoiled. I have been lucky so far to not have any of the Harry Potter books spoiled for me and now that I'm in the home stretch, I don't want to be spoiled. Nobody does. What's more, I have the a group of people on speed dial (or rather, in my Yahoo! email address book) who have connections to Jo Rowling, Scholastic, Bloomsbury and their respective lawyers who have many books to throw at those who spoil. All I can say is if you spoil, you deserve it.
Like the icon says, on Jo Knows until July 21, 2007. And that's how it's gonna stay.
(There was a nifty little audio link to a PSA Harry and the Potters did for PotterCast, but it is incompatible with my LJ, so it's on the PotterCast link. Go listen to it, it's pretty funny).
EDIT: To the jackass who thought it was funny to put a link to the whole book in my LJ comments (I didn't read it, but it was there and you claimed it was real), I have deleted the comment and you have been banned from posting in my LJ. I sent the link along with your LJ username along to the Leaky Cauldron who are on a first-name basis with Jo's publishers. Give her lawyers a hello from me, would ya?
EDIT part dos: Apparently there have been a number of like-minded jackasses who are huddled in their mothers' basements getting a strange high off of spoiling unsuspecting people (as they laugh wheezily until they have to reach for their inhaler - seriously you hack-job, Urkel-worshippers, it's not our fault you can't get a girlfriend).
To avoid myself and others being spoiled, I have put my comment status as "Friends Only" and am screening comments. I am also logging IP addresses for those commenting in my LJ (wish I would have done that this morning). I'll put it back to normal after I've finished reading on July 21, but for now, this is how it's going to be. I hate to have to avoid grand discussion before the final book, but the few pinheads have to ruin it for the rest of us have left me no choice (can't you do something less destructive - like dismantling a pipe bomb in your bedroom? Do us all a favor and cut the red wire).
