Happy birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
__hibiscus!
First of all, a notice - I haven't got a single comment notification for a solid week now. I hope the problem will be solved soon, but in the meanwhile, if I haven't answered a comment of yours? There's a very, very high chance that I haven't seen it at all. :) It also means that if you've got anything important to tell me, you'd better send me an email. ;)
On the other hand, about HP7 spoilers, since they're starting to circle in my lj-corner as well... if you're planning on making (or if you already have) a spoilers filter? Please, keep me out of it. :) And if you're not going to, I'm really appealing to your common sense and/or courtesy - please, use lj cuts, mark them clearly as spoilers, all that jazz. I would really love to keep myself unspoilered until July, if possible. :P I'll be careful and pay as much attention as I can, but, you know, all kind of help will be appreciated. ;) Thank you in advance! ♥
(I still can't forget how I'd managed not to hear anything about OotP (not too hard, that, I didn't even have this account yet) and on the day of the release? On the newspaper I've always read? In the very last line of the (unsigned, obviously) article about the book, in the cultural section? I find "And the readers will finally learn that the character dying is Sirius Black, (and in case it wasn't clear enough) Harry's godfather". God, but I was one pissed off monkey that morning. :P)
...you know, I'd better figure out how to keep me entertained during my online time, in the days between the book release and my actually getting a copy - last year I did this, and it DID entertain me for days - though I was quite close to the I-can't-bloody-take-it-anymore stage by the end of it - but there are only so many times you can tag every single entry you've made in your own journal. (Namely, ONE.) I'll really have to figure out something.

When HBP came out, my roommate, who works at McDonalds in the summer, read the book in under 24 hours, made a number of huge signs saying 'SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE', and posted them around her workplace. From what I hear, there were many children crying over their happy meals that day.

Grah! God, that sounds awful.
...but it also makes me remind of that one time our English teacher took us to a theater-play entirely in English, based on an Agatha Christie's mystery novel. Since it was mostly conceived for high schoolers, you could purchase a copy of the script in advance, so that you could study it and stuff - but since it was a mystery novel, they left out the final scene, so not to spoil the ending.
A classmate of mine had read the novel, and not only did he enlighten every single one of us to whom the murderer was - once we were in the theater (we had seats in the gallery), he wrote "the murderer is ____" on scraps of paper and let them fall down.
I admit I did have fun too, watching the faces of the people who picked them up... ;D

Yeah, one of my school-friends really enjoyed ruining books for me, which turned me off of spoiling for other people. If anything, I like to give misleading (though not false) hints - like if someone guesses something about the plot, and they're right, I usually respond with "You really think so? Hmm. Interesting." So, you need fear no spoilers from me. :)
