Spoiler rant
Dec. 10th, 2004 04:32 pmI hate spoilers. I really, really, really hate spolers. I want someone to hand me book 6 the day it's released, and I don't want to know anything at all about it except the title and the cover art. Nothing!! And I find myself unable to read my friends page, because nearly every entry, or every interesting looking discussion from the Snitch is about the new information on Rowling's website, which apparently includes spoilers. Why, in the name of Merlin, would you post spoilers for YOUR OWN BOOK?!?!?
Am I seriously the only person in the HP fandom who wants to read HBP from a clean slate? Or who wants to find out what's in book 6 by reading book 6, not a website? Or who really doesn't want to know most of the "explanations" because they don't make sense either (usually less than fan explanations), but make it harder to explain what's in the book? Especially since if it's not in one of the books, it is absolutely NOT canon, no matter who's opinion or theory it is?
I've managed to avoid most of the spoilers thus far, though I did read one post pointing out that, unsurprisingly, JKR either knows very little about genetics or decided to give a simple (and thus incorrect) answer to a complex question. Or most likely both. I really do need to actually write up the fairly extensive, comprehensive theory of magical genetics that I came up with a few months ago. I've been procrastinating on it because it's going to be really quite long. (And yes, the phrasing of "magical genetics" is accurate. ;-)
