I went out looking for Harry Potter spoilers to compare them to the real ending. My favorite is this one from Heckler Spray. Although I have to say that it is quite off the mark. Hermione doesn’t die.
The reason Hermione doesn’t die is the fact she never existed in the first place. I tell you, that syphillis can be a killer.
I think maybe Rowling is next planning to tell us the true story of Harry Potter, the poor little boy that thought he was famous while he was in a coma. I see it as being a truly tragic tale.
Of course, both the spoiler from Heckler Spray and myself are completely fictitious. However, there have been a rash of people posting real spoilers on the web. I personally don’t have a problem with that sort of behavior. After all, if you’re reading stuff about Harry Potter instead of actually reading Harry Potter being told who lives and dies isn’t a major concern. On the other hand, a radio station in Indiana was actually reading the last few pages on air. That seems a little uncalled for. You turn on the radio to find out about the weather, and somebody ruins your book for you. Although I think the death threats might have been a bit much.
Now, the real question: How long until J.K Rowling is on Anti-depressants? Any guesses?

I thought I read a spoiler saying that Harry turned out be a 59 year old man who dropped the brown acid at Woodstock and the whole series was an allegory about the dangers of experimenting with hallucinogens.
Now I’m disillusioned.
