Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Ok, ok so I haven't posted for a long, long time and this one will be brief because I don't want to spoil the book for those of you who may not have finished yet. This was a fantastic book, I cried at the ending, as has been my custom since the 5th book, though no fit has been greater since Sirus died. Anyway, one thing I wanted to address was the issue of spoilers for this book. I hate spoilers, I want to find out for myself how things turn out, but its a fact in this day and age that spoilers happen. They are out there, people like to spoil things for others and there is no stopping that. The thing that I don't understand though is why people get so mad about them. The fact remains, you have to LOOK for them. It is not like you can sign on to the internet and a pop-up immediately says "And this is how the book ends..." If you don't want something spoiled for you, don't go looking for it. Don't type "Harry Potter" in a search engine before you are done reading the book. I didn't want the book spoiled for me so I refrained from looking. It was only today that I went looking for interviews etc on the book because I finished it days ago and even now most things that I read had huge *Spolier Alert* signs or even links to take you to a different page to read anything that gave away the ending. I will probably write more on the book later once everyone who has more of a life than me has finished it. I am going to read all the books in order now (I read the 5th and 6th again a few weeks ago for the film and the last book) so when I am done with that I will try to write a Harry Potter overview because I am an obsessed nut like that. Enjoy the book if you haven't finished it!
