JK Rowling: "Preserve the secrecy"
JK Rowling: JK Rowling has made a small update to her official website asking everyone who "calls themselves a Potter fan" to help keep the plot of Deathly Hallows from being spoiled:

We are almost there! As launch night looms, let's all, please, ignore the misinformation popping up on the web and in the press on the plot of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'd like to ask everyone who calls themselves a Potter fan to help preserve the secrecy of the plot for all those who are looking forward to reading the book at the same time on publication day. In a very short time you will know EVERYTHING!

We, of course, support Jo's statement and ask all of our visitors to avoid spreading information about Deathly Hallows in our comments. With the book release being less than three days away, there's no point in spoiling it now.

Instead, talk about the latest episode of SpongeBob or perhaps the upcoming Hairspray film. If you need any other topic ideas, please e-mail i need something better to do than spoil the book for everyone three days prior to the release@staff.mugglenet.com.

If anyone has seen the british comedy series Fawlty Towers I'd just like to say that when it comes to spoilers I'm just like Manwuel: I KNOW NOTHING


Posted by Pranka Jul 18th 2007

THANK YOU JK ROWLING! Though, i think by gibing the ppl more attention we are only encouraging the spoilers.... Cheesec ake? I want some!

pottergirl171******* wats ur favorite bible story and speaking about fish....ew i dnt even like it chocolate covered...well i take that back i only like fish in new york hahaha


Posted by Witchy_Woman Jul 18th 2007

She's right. This is just stupid. I've spent every night reading sleuthing books before bed to get my Pottercraze going. No one should be unfeeling enough to spoil the book for other people. Do you guys remember that guy who ruined HBP for all those fans outside the bookstore by driving his van by them screaming "Snape kills Dumbledore!". That's just wrong.....Oh, and I can't stand Spongebob.


Posted by Tonks1975 Jul 18th 2007

OMG I love Friends I am watching it right now. season 8


Posted by grewupweasley Jul 18th 2007

How tough do you think it is to be a moderater on Mugglenet these days? To all the Mugglenet staff... thanks so much for all your hard work and efforts to preserve this special time in the HP fandom. I think I can speak for everyone here and say WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!


Posted by CheeseLover Jul 18th 2007

'Kay, no more spoilers from me :). Mmkay maybe one...I got an inside scoop that in Deathly Hallows Voldemort is killed by drinking a carton of non-fat milk!!! Seriously, no more spoilers guys. Chocolate fish eh? That's sorta gross.


Posted by eyeheartlupin Jul 18th 2007

LOL Andrew, I love you. :) 3 days!


Posted by medwards Jul 18th 2007

Posted by LadyM Jul 18th 2007

Three Words: Amen to Jo. Three More Words: 2 Days Left!


Posted by Arktos Jul 18th 2007

I HATE SPOILERS! I AM SEEING THEM EVERYWHERE! People: not only avoid websites, avoid all media sources; lock yourselves in your rooms and go, "La La La La La...." As much as I am disappointed that one single spoiler ruined it for me, I'm still anticipating the book and will not ruin it for others. HAPPY READING EVERYONE!


Posted by HAVortexDude Jul 18th 2007

I have read the whole book, but I swear I will not spoil it. All I will say is that it is an awesome book.


Posted by moonwalkinwand Jul 18th 2007

We love you Jo, you rock!


Posted by rooon Jul 18th 2007

OMG! Daniel Radcliffle is almost 18!


Posted by Matthias Jul 18th 2007

Posted by dracoevilneverlookedsohot Jul 18th 2007

Posted by JJ171539 Jul 18th 2007

I swear mugglenet is really damm stupid. They say they agree with JKR about not posting spoilers but they have a message in red at the top of the page basically telling us we can post spoilers from deathly hallows. That is like ultimate hipocricy

MuggleNet: Are you SERIOUS??? You want us to actually DISCUSS SpongeBob Squarepants? Where is your head??? They are showing new episodes all week long! Going to a site that discusses SpongeBob will put us at risk for SPOILERS!!! :P (Personally, I don't WANT to know whether Plankton steals the Krabby Patty formula until I actually WATCH the episode!)


Posted by blix Jul 18th 2007

I agree they you shouldn't leak Burbage dies on pg. 12 Hedwig dies on pg. 56 Mad-Eye dies on pg. 78 Scrimgeour dies on pg. 159 Wormtail dies on pg. 471 Dobby dies on pg. 476 Snape dies on pg. 658 Fred Weasley dies on pg. 637 Harry gets fucked up by Voldemort on pg. 704 but comes back to life on pg. 724 Tonks, Lupin, and Colin Creevy have their deaths confirmed on pg. 743 19 years after the events in the book: Ron has married Hermione, their two children are named Rose and Hugo Harry has married Ginny, their three children are named Lily, James, and Albus severus. Draco Malfoy has a son named Scorpius The epilogue shows all of the children boarding the train for Hogwarts together. The final lines of the book are: “The scar had not pained Harry for 18 years. All was well.” Plot Spoilers Part of Voldemort’s soul was implanted into Harry whenever he used Ara Kadvara on him when he was a baby. Harry then sacrafices himself a la Lilly Potter style, which allows him to kill Voldemort without killing himself. He brings himself back to life using a wand and a rock Snape went to the good side (Hogwarts, etc.) because he was all emo that Voldemort killed Lilly Potter

What is cheesecake??


Posted by Matthias Jul 18th 2007

oh my gosh stop it. really *rollingeyes* grow up, blix


Posted by irinuca Jul 18th 2007

this is such a hot summer in romania. the hottest in 100 years. in the crowded cities, at ground level, the temperatures reached 60 degrees C...hey, what do you guys know: the people who order the book from amazon will be getting it on monday, 23rd?


Posted by Qwexva Jul 18th 2007

ha, this radio station keeps reminding people to bring your ipod or something when the book comes out so if someone skips to the end and then shouts out how it ends you won't hear it.


Posted by Ruby_321 Jul 18th 2007

Go Jo! Onle 2 dayz... :D


Posted by medwards Jul 18th 2007

blix: go die


Posted by Agnes Jul 18th 2007

Here here Jo&Mugglenet! *spits on spoilers*


Posted by Tonks1975 Jul 18th 2007

I am going to do that. I don't want to be spoiled any more than I already am from rude people on these comments.


Posted by Elles15 Jul 18th 2007

I cannot WAIT for the book to come out, but the theories and predictions have been enough fun to hold me over until the book is released. Like most people here, I've been waiting 8 years to "Find out what happens". I couldn' t imagine being the jerk who ruins it for everyone else. Have some integrity!!!


Posted by ackermaniv Jul 18th 2007

to be honest, this plee isn't going to do much. the people who have 'spoiled' it so far have done it purposefully, and don't really care what jk thinks although this comment 'misinformation' makes it seem like they aren't true... however, since she's saying to keep spoilers from spreading, that makes it sound like they have already been leaked.... i'm so conused!!


Posted by Sally Jul 18th 2007

LOL lets talk about spongebob or hairspray that made me laugh out loud


Posted by oh_so_suave Jul 18th 2007

i was going to bring earplugs should i bring both (((earplugs and my ipod??)))


Posted by dracoevilneverlookedsohot Jul 18th 2007

I agree Elles15! So people just have no class.


Posted by Agnes Jul 18th 2007

Suggestion: put some music from the HP movies on your Ipod while waiting xD!


Posted by XHpfanforeverX Jul 18th 2007

omg Qwexva i am so bringing my ipod to the book launch because im not hearing the end of the book as soon as i get out of B&N!!
