As Amy mentioned earlier, the New York Times has come out with their review of the newest and last Harry Potter novel (The Deathly Hallows) two days before the book hits the streets. ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO READ IT? If so, then you’ll also totally want to read the leaked Harry Potter spoiler page (that reveals the death of a major character—hint: rhymes with “Shmamione”) in this week’s Mercury! Read that HERE!
By the way, it has come to my attention that there are a few of you cynical types who would actually accuse us of FAKING this spoiler page just to fuck with the heads of Potter fans. All I can say to that baseless accusation is, “HOW DARE YOU, SIR? What have we ever done to mislead you?”

ummm...maybe you shouldn't be a gullible idiot, don't be a dick.
No… "Don't Be a Dick" is totally right, and I apologize. So here you go: SPOILER ALERT!!!
I am so sick of hearing about Harry potter, and even more fed up with all of you adult Harry Potter fans that won't let me escape hearing about it. Maybe I just don't get it- but I can't help but feel sorry when I witness men and women eagerly awaiting the arrival of this hopelessly nerdtastic children's book. Seriously... Stop.
Thank you, Rooster. I could not agree more. I couldn't give a fuck about Harry Potter, and am actually kind of laughing at how upset these people are getting about the "leaked" manuscripts. I'd like to see an adult Harry Potter fan brought to tears over it. On the news, maybe. Hell, I can probably just wait until I have dinner with my cousin. He'll be blubbering like a baby over it. 'Course he lives with his Mom and he's 39.
So, if I'm a Harry Potter fan I'm a nerd that deserves to be ridiculed and have a reading experience spoiled... If I'm gullible enough to believe anything the Mercury ever writes, then I'm stupid...
Wow. Thanks Mercury.
Reading the "spoiler alert" intro (which cruelly followed the unavoidable spoiler of the headline) perplexed me as to why a book editor would think anyone would want to read page 700 something of a book before page one (gullible sucker that I am trying to follow the Mercury's logic) but now I realize that Chas Bowie never cared about any duty to make information public as it becomes available, if he actually had anything to do with it, since it was obviously the paper's choice to create all this Harry hoopla...
I'm a big enough Harry Potter nerd to know that even fake information is too much to stumble upon. Is that page all fake, or just some of it? Because even if the headline is fake, wondering if Snape will actually turn out evil, especially that late in the book is not good. Wondering if they are really at the Riddle place is not good. Even knowing the titles of the chapters gives more away than I want to know. And for anyone who has been trying to avoid hearing or reading any information before I get the book, fake or real, this is just really mean (and making it impossible to miss on the cover is just cruel).
Of course I'm prepared for at least one of the main three to die, but it's the little revelations that would finally tie lingering questions from the earlier books together that was going to be the best part. But now when I start reading it all I will think about is that one page and if any of it is true. That is not the final Harry Potter experience I was anticipating.
Should I just have known not to read the Mercury this week? I guess so. But in a town that prides itself on books and reading and from a publication that was my last hope at finding decent local news analysis that represents my views, this is just too low of a blow. I'm surprised I care so much to type this all to a thread that I know is just going to ridicule my reading tastes and behavior more, but I guess I'm just that much of a shocked and hurt Harry Potter nerd.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....Oh wait, was that larper serious? I mean... ah, sorry for your loss? It must be truly disappointing to have had the ending of that "book" spoiled for you. Tragic really. Maybe the Mercury should apologize for hurting your feelings you BIG BABY!
HA-HA!
I schooled those fucking nerds. Who wants to go back to Alpha Beta house and party?
We Rule!!
Yeah!! NERDS suck!!! heh-heh.
(Oh- but, um, seriously Humphrey, don't joke about the dog fighting results from yesterday. You know I haven't watched the tape yet. Seriously, dudes...that's not awesome to joke about, I've got two dawgs on the line.) I'm Out!
ah... Don't post under my name angry Harry fan. I don't hate nerds. Just Harry Potter Nerds who can't take a joke from the mercury.
Oh - I'm sorry little rooster. I thought we were joking! Ha-Ha!
Wait, do you only love a good laugh at someone's expense?[someone else's, of course.]
Did I say I was joking? I am serious. (Adult) Harry Potter fans are annoying. You are the case and point Rooster.
Enough of you anyway. I've waisted too much time on something I don't care about. Damn!
Good - go away.
Oh -- and it's "case IN point."
Obviously, you haven't "waisted"[sic] too much time on literacy (so stay out of it.)
If it turns out who dies isn't who I expected that will be so cool. Actually, bogus spoilers are a sure fire way to get me to read a book I'd not otherwise read, so it all kind of works out in the end really.
