|  altfthirteen | Jul 18, 2007 11:37am | I do remember when Half Blood Prince was released in the UK someone actually got a banner saying "Dumbledore dies" and placed it on top of a motorway crossing which spoilt the ending for some motorists who hadn't finished reading it.
Tip: avoid motorways as well ;) |

That's a bit of an elaborate spoiler and demonstrates both inventiveness and a curious meanness of spirit! |

| | qthews | Jul 19, 2007 10:34am | Well... about spoilers... i plan to not listen/watch/read radio/tv/internet news from tomorrow night until i have finished the book (so until something around wednesday or thursday... i will try to read it slowly, i've read the 6th too fast and have missed something on the first reading) :-)
I'm even planning to start telling my colleagues tomorrow about the consequences of spoiling it on monday :-)
Norbert as a pet... improbable, R.A.B. as Sirius brother,.. probable (as JKR herself told book 6 and 7 are "answer" books, not "new question" ones, so R.A.B. being something more than a "simple" riddle is improbable.)
P.S. (edited on July, 21)
Got mine this morning at 10.05 am... and i haven't start reading it yet (it's 1.38 pm now). Got it in a nearby bookshop, paid 27.50 euros, ordering it on amazon uk would have costed me around 60 euros and a couple days more of waiting! :-) |

Sponsor | | sjoukes | Jul 21, 2007 6:23am | got mine while I was shopping in Tescos this afternoon,
I was going to get it from Asda, do the shopping and get a cab back.
I walked all the way there(about 1/2 hour) and they were sold out, so I had to walk all the way back to Tescos, I got it for £5 because I spent over £50 on shopping, hav'nt got time to read it yet, will be cooking for the multitudes soon and I must rest up first ,
I feel bloody knackered from all that walking lol well worth it though, and I am going to france for the day so I will have something to read :-))) |

| | qthews | Jan 5, 9:04am | | The countdown for italian readers is gone too! And now i'm the proud owner of both the italian and the english edition of Deathly Hallows. In italian it is titled "Harry Potter e i doni della morte" (lit. Harry Potter and Death's gifts... it remind me so much of Death from he Discworld universe :-) and it is a lot less intriguing than the english one) |
