Beats me why normally sane individuals would stoop so low as to read such puerile kids books as the Harry Potter series...

It was originally a young adult series... but the tone of the books change with each year. The first book seems like an 11 year old's POV, but as the characters get older, the story gets more and more darker and mature.Originally posted by b etor

Doesn't matter... don't want to chance it. Fake spoilers can be just as assholish as real ones (making people expect a certain outcome). Besides, the mods can't read or watch every highly anticipated work to see if the spoilers are real or not.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Keep deluding yourself that your opinions actually matter.

Well, I just finished the book. All I can say is: Great book, and seldom have (some) people been so right in such a wrong way.
I say no more.
