Spoiler alert!!!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows officially goes on sale today. J.K. Rowling has claimed that two major characters die in this book leading many to speculate who will meet their demise. Many have posted their theories on the internet, while quite a few claimed to have read the book already and have posted the ending on the web. 2 U.S. papers have published reviews of the book and included spoilers in the review. It's going to be hard to not find some information about the book on the net or hear about it in the media. Which means I have to read the book soon before it is spoiled for me.

Spoilers!!! Why do people do it? I think that some people love to spoil endings because it gives them a sense of empowerment. I know something you don't and I'm going to prove it. I'm not sure if they think this will garnish a level of respect for themselves. It just makes them a big jerk in my eyes.

I had the end of the 6th book spoiled for me. However, it was unintentional as the person honestly thought I had read the book already. We need to develop a global point of etiquette to prevent spoiling anything for anyone. If I am in a discussion about a movie, book, tv show, I will ask everyone in the group if they have seen, heard, or read the subject and then judge if it is ok to proceed with the conversation. Everyone, please let's just practice a little restraint and respect. You can do it. I have faith!! This is fair warning. If anyone spoils the final Harry Potter book for me, I will punch you in the mouth.
