Harry Potter Spoilers (Safe Post)

[bkdelong]

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.

I appreciate you taking the spoiler-bullet for all of us. I'm sorry you have to spoiled, though.

Thank you BK :) Gods, I hope it doesn't end up on Yahoo news! How can people post this without getting sued? I hope that Ain't-It-Cool is found libel. I'm bitter becuase I clicked on a post without appropriate spoiler warning and I HOPE they're lying and full of shite. Meep!

Thank you, BK. I was spoiled for OotP and it did have me not as worried with Arthur Weasley was in the hospital--because I knew *he* wouldn't die and I cried over Sirius before the book even came out. (Because I am lame.)

I just want book jacket text, NOT THE IDENTITY OF THE HBP...I would be so upset. I *want* to click the link, but I will be so much happier if I don't. Eeeek.

P.S. Ron would say you've got Moral Fiber. Way to look out for TLC.

*blink* I just saw the cbc article that mentions you, and what you said you'd "recieved".

I'm truly sorry, that some (bleep) has decided to try to ruin the fun for you and so many others.

I think I may just crawl into a hole until Saturday. It's not like I do'nt have real life issues to deal with :)

Thank you, B.K. I'm sorry you've been so spoiled, but you truly ROX for doing it for TLC. I think I'm going to start hiding from spoilers - they're getting too "real".

I can't believe that in a few days, it will all be over (both the good and the bad). You guys are going to have so much fun in MN! :D
