I hate stupid people who spoil everything for people who want to enjoy reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by posting spoilers on the Internet. There are these people on YouTube who have posted comments on Harry Potter-related videos that completely spoil the plot of the seventh book! They even list the precise PAGE NUMBERS where characters die! Ugh. Assholes.
Why do people do that, anyway? It's so messed up. I was watching a Harry Potter Puppet Pals video on YouTube when I decided to scroll down and read the comments, and people had posted on some of them the names of people who die in the seventh book! I scrolled back up again quickly, but I still saw the names of two people who die in the book. I told myself that J.K. Rowling had said that only two main characters die in the book, and that the comment had certainly given more than two character names, so it could be lying, and I should just disregard the comment and read the book. Well, now that I'm finished with the book, I've gone back and looked at the comments, and some of the comments actually list the truth about what happens in the book!
Harry Potter fans, beware the monsters on YouTube! They will spoil the details of the book for you, and that's not good at all! Don't read the comments on Harry Potter-related vids on YouTube, or else you could get... *dramatic music* SPOILED!
Yes, I realize that last paragraph sounded incredibly stupid and cheesy, but it's the truth. Be careful, guys, okay?
I just sent this e-mail to my close friend and fellow Potter fanatic H. Here it is, only it has been edited to preserve the privacy of myself and my sister:
I JUST FINISHED READING HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!! WOO!! Have you finished yet?
L [my younger sister] keeps asking me whether Harry lives or dies. I'm currently withholding the information from her. :) I'm telling her she has to be a good girl in order to find out. She refuses to read the books because they're so long, and she doesn't want to wait until the movie comes out to find out what happens to Harry, so I'm her only hope. Hee-hee, I never knew blackmail could be so fun.
Wait, this is blackmail? Crap, it is. I'm blackmailing my sister! Eh, oh well.
It's not like I have malicious intent or anything... Okay, maybe I do, but I'm just teasing her!
WHO CARES, ANYWAY? This is fun!
Tell me when you finish so I can talk to you about it, okay? I need to talk to someone about this or I'll explode. Then a bunch of Utter_Insanity guts will be flying around the place, and we don't want that, now do we? Wait...my guts might splatter Lauren. Hey, awesome. BUT STILL TELL ME IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU FINISH, OKAY?
Live short and fall off a cliff!

"Live short and fall off a cliff" is an inside joke among H and I. You know that saying from Star Trek, where the Vulcans make this hand sign and say "Live long and prosper"? (Yes, I am a Star Trek nerd, by the way.)
Well, H can't make her hand do that unless she concentrates really, really hard. She can't get her pinky and ring fingers to connect. So I got this idea that we could make up a hand signal of our own. If you make the Live Long and Prosper hand sign, only you don't connect your pinky and ring fingers together, then the sign doesn't mean "Live Long and Prosper." It means the exact opposite: "Live Short and Fall Off a Cliff."
Yeah, it's really weird, but that's how it is. Now we make that sign at each other all the time, but just as a joke.
There, now you know one of our inside jokes. Why the heck did I just write this, anyway? :/
Anyways, it's almost 2:00 in the morning here and I need my sleep. Nighty-night. *sleeps*

I finished the book too but i still hate those people too. I got the spoiler moment on MSN!!! ARGH!!! (but they did a pretty crap job in spoiling it for me at the same time haha)
the point of reading a book is to enjoy the process. they totally ruin the process because all you can think about is what you've heard or read.
This was a good book...
I finished the book too but
I finished the book too but unfortunatly I already knew what happened because my sister intentionally looked up all the info. I hate when people ruin books for me. It messes with the whole point of reading for fun. Some people really need to keep their mouths shut and let everyone else enjoy what they waited outside a store at midnight for.
I avoided the Internet
I avoided the Internet altogether once I read a newspaper telling of spoilers leaking out onto the Web.
(I finished the book in fifteen and a half hours, by the way. Just felt like bragging. But now I can't talk to anybody about it because Mom and Dad haven't finished it yet, and Emma is always doing stuff and never in a mood to talk about the book. I can't wait until Mom is finished; discussing books with her is always the best.)
I finished the book- my
I finished the book- my sister had told me who died but who she said died didn't end up dieing so--- like she had found out when all that spoiler mess came out and such so .. i'm stoaked that the people didn't die but i like the story but the ending well....
