A friend of mine just got her copy today, so she hasn't read it yet. Anyway, she was getting dressed and had the news going on in the background. Someone gave away the big spoiler (who dies). The media should wait at least two weeks before letting that out. I assume it was Fox News, because that's the only news she watches.

I know who died, but not from the media, or reading it.

I am bad about peeking. I looked at the end of the book to see if I was right about who died.

Peek Sneeker .........you might as well burn that book now you know the ending

I still need to read all the good stuff in between to tell me how the character died.

I guess I'll have to tell ya myself , they breathed a unicorn fart , and one didnt say the magic beano spell .
Ok now you can burn the book , see I ruined it for everyone just beacuse you were courious george , and just had to PEEK !!!!

I think the spoiler is a bit bigger, and less silly, than that.

Cat thinks the death was a trick and you'll find out about it in the next book.

Rawlings has refused to share her plot for the final book with ANYONE, she says basically if she dies or can't write it, tough noogies to all her fans who are left hanging at the end of this latest book (ok, not a quote, my paraphrase...). I think that's a nasty attitude to lay on her fans, but then again I never drank the Potter kool-aid. Everyone in my HOUSE has, though.

I think Cat is wrong. Rowling writes about death the way it should be in a children's book: living things die, sometimes painfully, and they don't ever come back. I hope she doesn't bring any of her dead characters back from beyond when so many small children, who really shouldn't read HP, love the books. It will teach them the wrong concept of death.

Hm, I see your point. We shall see, I suppose.

So, in the last book, everyone dies. Except Percy

hocus pocus

Done.

I was really having to strain to get into this one. Of course, in the end, I enjoyed it. Once all the silly parts were over, I really got into it.

I need an extra anti-depressant.

Because I like you guys here's a link to my first ever piece of fanfiction: Instructions . It's a one shot drabble that came to me rather suddenly late Tuesday.

Aw, more (it's like 4 lines but already a cliffhanger) I love reading fics on FF.net. I just posted somehting there myself, but I don't advertise it cause it's horrible

More! Wow! Thanks! I may have to expand on this drabble. I know that Nanowrimo is in a few months. I want to try it this year, so maybe I'll use this drabble as inspiration.

I also have another piece of fanfiction on the backburner along with several original short stories that I need to edit and refine.

I love reading fanfics myself. The fun is wading through the bad to find the real gems.

One of our local public libraries called this morning. The boy signed up for the Harry Potter book give-away at the county fair last night and he won a copy.

Lisa and the kids will be picking it up on Saturday when they go back to the fair to work at a concession stand.

Better than a pig

Not as scrumptious though.
