Harry Potter Spoilers (Safe Post)

Very few events have put me through such a strong range of emotions but the past couple of weeks has been a great exception. I'm more excited than I can express, nervous, anxious, manic....ups AND downs. Don't take it personally if I seem to express exceedingly strong reactions. I'm trying to control myself.

That being said, I have been spoiled. ROYALLY spoiled. Part of it is my own fault but I did volunteer to throw myself over the grenade of potential spoilers at TLC so others don't have to verify them. Hehehe.

Please keep in mind it is most certainly illegal for me to post them and even sharing them with you has the potential for me to be arrested, fined, and even thrown in jail not to mention how it will horribly effect the reputation of The Leaky Cauldron. Besides, the email and documents resulting in my spoiledom were handed over to Scholastic and I removed them from my browser's cache.

Those of you seeking to avoid spoilers, I would be happy to assist in verifying whether links carry true spoilers or not. This would not only continue to help you avoid them but it would give TLC the opportunity to hand them to Scholastic to make sure the go offline.

While I admit being spoiled is a bit titalating and fun in some respects, nothing can compare to reading everything in context and succumbing to spoilers will dimish your experience next weekend.

I want to make it crystal clear where I stand so as not to promulgate any misconceptions and to tell you well-meaning, but misguided fans to stop sending TLC potential spoilers.

Also, those of you anti-spoiler should stay away from Aint-It-Cool-News.com this morning. While I won't publicly post anything about most spoiler places, this will spread the Net like wildfire. So avoid the site and I'll be happy to mention when it comes down.

HP Reading at Mall of America - My Personae

I'm toying with this idea of creating a fun personae for Barnes & Noble since there will no doubt be kids. Costume would be a purple cloak, white poet's shirt, wizard staff (natural), time turner, dumbledore pocket watch, Alivans wand:

"Hi - I'm Prof. Milleniel Epoch and I teach both History of Magic and Muggle Studies at the Salem Witches Institute in
Salem, Massachusetts. Since I will most likely cast a mass memory charm on you at midnight, I can tell you that for researchand better understanding of Muggles, I go by the name B.K. DeLong and am an Editor on The Leaky Cauldron Harry Potter fan site.

What I am about to read you is part of a History of Magic. Not as old as the pointlessness of the 17th Century Witch burnings - quite recent in fact. I am about to tell you the story of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's return in June of 1996 and the event which finally forced the population of the Wizarding World as a whole to come to terms with it.

Chapter 38 - The Second War begins."
