The Stakes

I see Harry Potter readers everywhere and I'm sad to say I see many of them reading in fear. There's a collective awareness that a potential ending spoiler could happen at any moment. (I haven't read the book, so don't worry, you can read this post).
One Potter reader I know was teased about a potential spoiling and she responded with an uncharacteristically menacing "F*** off!" Another Potter reader around here, when asked, "Do you want to know the ending?" offered the steely reply, "Do you want to die?"
The stakes are high, spoilers. Please be careful. And readers, don't do anything you'll later regret.

i am so glad i'm done with that book. i did live in fear that it someone would tell the ending, and really i felt i needed to find out for myself. just like harry, if you think about it.

Poor teen daughter, she has to go to work with 60 pages left. Husbandman's going to drive her and she'll be reading all the way in. I wish they could give Potter breaks to employees, but they won't.

Finished at long last! That was quite a roller coaster. It was a fine end to the series upon which I've been emotionally dependent for the last eight years. I can't tell you how I'm feeling, though. It would give away the ending. -TD

I'm on page 12. I don't need to write much in this section I've decided. Short and sweet. I may take a quick walk to get some food.

LH said…
i fixed up the last part and now i'm going to read it over and see if i can write a little conclusion.

this is neat, i have so many comments.
