DH spoilers, spread them like influenza?

Yeah, like probably a good half of the fandom, weak-willed little me has submitted herself to 1. all the chapter titles and 2. THE EPILOGUE SCANS OF DOOM. If you haven't and wanna see them, go over to elaboration's or fraught's LJ :-D (Come on~! Let go of your self restraint~ Weak mind loves company~)

So I am gonna talk about this epilogue a bit... )

hpdh

I craaaaves those scaaaaaaaaans but I lack l33t connekshunz. I know I haven't commented here in, you know, forever, but can I beg and plead shamelessly and disgustingly for you to send them to me? :

I've emailed the scans to your gmail a/c, hope it still works :-)?
Every maniac around the globe is either downloading, reading or has finished the WHOLE DAMN BOOK now though! It's insane!

Mustn't... look... at... spoilers...

Now that I know of said spoilers though, I'm going to be on tenterhooks all week. ARGH.

I'm with you on the OotP!movie, though. I liked it better than any of the other movies (which is, perhaps, saying something as I still hate the book itself). The Death Eaters certainly seemed more frightening here than in the book; they seemed much more of a challenge more likely to have the upper hand. I missed Draco's fit at the end of the book though; that one scene sets up for HBP just so perfectly.

Okay, your resolution is making me look like a complete weakling, HATE. I've gotten myself spoiled some more by a friend who's already skimmed through the whole book- but from what I heard, the book sans the atrocious H/Gness sounds really promising.

Yeah, still hate OOTP the canon... Its only redeeming value to me lies in the Black family backstory, and the fact Godric & Salazar used to be fuck buddies ;-) I have completely given up on any hope the HP movie squad will do Draco's role justice, so comes HBP guess I'll either be vindicated or pleasantly surprised.

Oh man. By no means think that I am strong willed in my avoidance of spoilers. I totally caved within hours of knowing that they were out there. Thus far my spoilage has been limited to half of the chapter titles (Imageshack took the links down as I was looking. The bastards!) and a couple of chapter images (the one for Malfoy Mansion and Dumbledore's Will). This is still not due to me being very strong willed though - this is because I've not stumbled across the actual links or torrents to the book itself. XD

Still, little things such as hearing that there is no massive scary H/G make me beyond happy. Your new post about Draco's woe makes me a bit leery (bad H/D cliches? Really? Worse than HBP bad H/D cliches? Is it even possible?) but I really look forward to the Snape bit ( ... )

(NO HARRY YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON!

It seemed like there were at least 38589305 scenes in which Harry modestly said 'Nannyboohoo, everything's my fault, I only had the best intentions!' and someone interrupted with 'No, Harry, it's MY fault, you're blameless and perfect!'.
Not to mention how it equalled the books for Harry being everyone's no. 1 priority, so even when the Weasleys think their dad may have died, it's all 'LOOK AT ME, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME, HELP ME DOWN THE CORRIDOR RON!' My non-HP friend was catcalling 'C'mon, he's doing it for attention!' by the time he fainted, and openly laughed throughout the possession. (I'm so proud!)

Your friend has taste, I must say! This time I watched it with a non-fan friend too, she busied herself with shooting me urgent whispered questions of OMG just which chick WILL Harry end up with?! While my serial loud snorts gained suspicious glares from neighbor audience who probably thought I had severe nasal congestion. Well, guess I've trained myself to focus on the bits I do enjoy, it makes life a lot more bearable :-P

What say you of the spoilers? If you haven't read them yet, DON'T start now, seriously! Take it from a badly spoiled idiot who's loathing herself a little at the moment ^^;;

My friend is awesome, she said 'Aw, isn't it PC that Harry makes out with the Chinese Scottish chick even though he never talks to anyone in this film who isn't a white Brit?' I was like...OK, are you secretly reading my lj? <3 <3

Oh, I've skimmed the first 500pgs, just dl'ed the second batch. I keep meaning to read it all but it's a bit...eh, so I've just been looking for characters who take my eye: Draco, Dudley, Fleur.

Hon, you've finished, er, 'looking at' the image files right?
Would you say it is 100%, definitely, absolutely without a doubt, the book? Coz you know how the last few chapters, especially the Crabbe & Goyle part, gave me nightmares last night? You know how much of a Draco fan I am, and how I was horrified by his lack of... let's say point of existence in 'this book' (Draco's wand was 100 times more important than his person, HA HA HA)- but this was *nothing* in comparison to the absolute horror I felt when I saw Crabbe and Goyle firing around AK like nobody's business. I seriously thought I was having a bad dream. I mean, the Crabbe who read comics? The Crabbe and Goyle who dressed up as a little girls at Draco's command?

SERIOUSLY HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD????!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would've never have in my wildest dream, imagined that I'll one day be completely disgusted by the HP series, not because of what happened to Draco's character, but to Crabbe and Goyle's.

Please god let this all be a ridiculous joke!!!
