YAY! Staying up until 1:30 in the morning has its advantages, even if this was posted about eight hours ago.

Great news, thanks Bmat, I was stuck in a marathon meeting yesterday from 9am to 4 PM and didn't have time to catch this.

JKR will probably now release some small spoilers in between now and July. She did the same thing prior to OotP. small spoilers, though, not anything that hurts enjoyment of the book, in fact, so small, that they lead to more questions and theories, building the anticipation of the release.

One such thing for OotP was that someone would be dying, but, she didn't tell who it would be, and that fueled hundreds of thousands of 'net conversations.

Anyone object to such small spoilers being posted in this thread when they come available?

Thank you for the help, Merle!

I agree with Bmat. Thanks Merle!

I'd be glad for the spoilers, Sindatur. Should we open a new thread and have "spoilers" in the title? Then it would be anything goes?

Posted By: Sindatur Dec 21, 2004 - 09:33 am

Well, I'm not sure about "anything goes". If there is a death in Book 6, I certainly don't want to stumble across who it is before I read the book. We know Harry will spend the least amount of summertime at Privet Drive, but I don't really want to know why until I read it, unless JKR lets the information slip, in which case it won't be a big deal why.

So, I would say anything goes, if JKR has approved the release of the spoiler.
