JK Rowling: "Preserve the secrecy"
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.

nice comeback deathfag
YAY!!!!!! GO ROB!!!!!Oh and deathly....What's with you spelling my name wrong?!? All you have to do is copy and paste...I mean come on!!!!
Also mrspadfoot did you notice near the final chapters in one scene molly weasley is dueling bellatrix and then molly screames at her something like "YOU girl" and it says that bella was killed by molly with a curse Am I the only one who noticed that?
I have aright to kill u mrspadfoot. none among us read the fake copy and what the heck u did. u r a spoiler urself. rob r u silent
So here's my view: 1. I totally flew past all the comments on here, just in case there were any spoilers that haven't been caught yet. 2. We ALL want to know how it ends... it's the thing we've all been looking forward to. And I know each of us has that little demon inside of us saying "go look at these pages, you can know what you've been dying to know". But we're all STRONGER than that!!! 3. If you are one of those people who have posted these out there, do you just get some deep disgusting feeling of greatness in knowing that you've destroyed something for people who have waited for this?? Is there nothing in the world that you look forward to? If there is, I hope that someone takes that away from you, because what you have done is selfish and completely immature. 4. WOOO HAIRSPRAY!!!!!!!! (sorry, I'm really looking forward to that, and thanks for the acknowledgement to it, admins!!!:) )
I don't even want the ending anymore!!!!! I am more than happy to talk about how adorable Zac Efron is, but I'm honestly too disgusted by the people who stole the manuscript, posted it on the internet, and for every single fan who has read the manuscript and spoiled it for other people. I'm so ashamed that I go to the same website where people who want to spoil the ending of Harry Potter go to. MuggleNet is too good for them. They should go get a life.
DEATHLY, I DON'T NEED TO EVEN TALK TO YOU, YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE PEACOCK, YOU ARE A WASTE OF MY TIME, BUT I WILL STUFF A SHOVAL UP YOUR A$$ BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT SO SHUT UP AND GO JERK OFF WITH JERKYHOLE
fudge zac efron guess what he is dating daniel radcliffe
This place is crazy....Hey rob I think it's time for a cheesecake story!
haha, that's quite the e-mail adress...i totally agree...seriously, spoilers suck...i've honestly been considering closing myself off from society until i finish that book. Someone ruined it for me fore the sixth one and i don't want it to happen again. if I didn't have to go to work i don't think I'd communicate with anyone just to make sure I don't find anything out!
Did everyone hear about Farscape coming back? Their going to do web episodes, check out SCIFI.com for more. Squee! I'm so happy! I loved Farscape! And mmmm....cheesecake. I wanta go to the Cheesecake Factory now!!
RAB23 if you don't want someone to ruin it for you no offense but get the fudge off the internet. That is all you have to do and that goes to everyone else who doesn't want to hear spoilers. If you don't want to be spoiled then don't go on harry potter websites like 2 days before the book comes out. Are you fudge retarded? The reason I am on harry potter websites is the fact I could care less if spoilers come out I would still buy the book.
Mists: I agree......farscape and cheesecake factories.......sound like fun. All it need is a Deathly Hallows and a ginormous cup of hot chocolate.
This is so rediculous i HATE those jack offs for distributing this book.......read the spoiler by choice cuz it was drivin me crazy lol but still its just insane that they would do that.
did you know a pregnant goldffish is called a twit? Or that a whale's **** is called a dork? Or that a hermaphrodite pig is called a git ? (Kidding about the last 1 actually)
Thank you for that, mrspadfoot. I'm still worried about some of the spoilers, though. =S
OMG Harispray looks soooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo good! I can't wait to see it on Monday. Eeeeeekkkk k! Plus The End is So Near I Can Taste It!!!!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeKkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!
Also mrspadfoot did you notice near the final chapters in one scene molly weasley is dueling bellatrix and then molly screames at her something like "YOU girl" and it says that bella was killed by molly with a curse Am I the only one who noticed that?
Nice job jkr u decide to update your site after there is all these rumors of their been book 7 spoilers online. You just had to wait until that happned.
JJ171539: Hey dude back off. He's just agreeing with the author of the book that this whole website is based off of. So back off. Oh... and stop saying "fudge" it makes you sound retarded.
I am going to majorca on sat.Just in time for the final book!!!!!!
Well, if something spils o the net there isnt a way to contain it. If someone wants to find book 7 he will. I did. That doesnt mean i have to post spoilers and destroy other ppl's experience. My advice is, guys, if u dont want spoilers, stay off the net for the remaining days, u cant depend on ppl to act smart, or mature.
soo, yeahh. hairspray. who's going to see it on friday before waiting in line at the bookstore?
Spongebob? Oh right. New episodes are this week, right? Anyways, I agree that it's strange and stupid that people are trying to spoil the series for everyone else. And why go to the trouble, anyways? Just be good little kiddies and wait it out like the rest of us. :D
You´ve actually FOUND the book on the net, DarkRa?? Where, no wait, don´t tell me that!! It has really spread out on the net, like the whole book??! Fudge! Well, I might have been overly excited at one point and mentioned that leaked excerpt but I didn´t mean to and I din´t say much. I agree with Jo, I think everyone should shut up about the spoilers. I don´t want to be spoiled anymore...AAaaah, 2 days left.
I didn't say fudge for some reason last time when I tried to say fudge the computer turned it into fudge.
I'm not gonna see it before waiting for the book but maybe the week after when mugglenet is still blocking the forums.
100% with you Jo! I can't even understand why anyone who considers themselves a true potter fan would want to read these spoilers - after a whole decade of waiting and wondering, why would anyone want to just find out all the details and ruin the VERY LAST release? Every time DH is re-read after July 21st, you will know all the answers - why make it so that you can NEVER read it without knowing what happens?
ummmm.... ok
Yup the book got on the net on JPG format (digital photos of the pages, 72MB) on monday, a little digging on torrent sites will give u a link for sure. PDF files starting appearing too today.
People who spoil make me sick. I don't read spoilers, and if I accidentally come across one I don't believe it. I don't trust anything that hasn't come from JKR herself. What's sickening is the fact that these people get this horrible pleasure out of ruining everyone else's excitement. People who spoil should be locked away and cursed to a life of never getting their hands on Deathly Hallows. Cheers to JKR for taking a stand for her LOYAL readers.
Why can you say every curse word on this website except for F-U-C-K
God, this whole Deathly hallows release is spinning out of control!! Jo´s probably quite frustrated right now. I can´t wait to read the book on saturday. I just hope that that Gabriel´s spoiler was FALSE!! I think everything we´ve heard so far has been FALSE!! Jo´s stories aren´t predictable...
Why do people want to ruin the ending of the series? They probably just want atttention and don't care. The spoilers right now are probably not true. Anyways, I can't wait!! 3 more days!!!!
fudge
yeah....titally hate spoilers. I read the book without even reading any theories etc, and it was truly great. I wouldnt want to spoil it for anyone.
Uuoh...11,117 muggles online, now that´s something! Has to be a record, right? ;).
U see what I mean mungdungus I wasn't making stuff up. Man mugglenet really is weird. First they put a message in red at the top of this page saying that details from deathly hallows may be posted here and then they say they agree with JKR when she says not to post spoilers.
Here's a tip! If you want to search with no spoilers! Go to Chacha.com and search with a guide. Ask them to check every page to make sure there are no spoilers for you!
what about linkin park? Nobody's listening! I tried to give you warning, but evry1 ignored me....
dick
What do you mean, JJ171539????? By writing a warning in red letters mugglenet is doing quite much to make people aware of what they might come across these days when/if they head to these comment boards!!!! Therefore, by STRONGLY ADVISING people NOT to proceed to the comment boards they are perfectly and clearly agreeing with Jo that one should shut up about spoilers concerning the deathly Hallows book. mugglenet isn´t weird...they are just taking certain well needed precautions.
Just for the record, I'm not reading anyone's comments just in case... but I'm bored and I want to comment myself. "In a very short time you will know EVERYTHING!" AHH the anticipation is killing me!! "please e-mail i need something better to do than spoil the book for everyone three days prior to the release@staff.mugglenet.c om." LOL, funny. And right when I got online today, AOL has this main story saying: "'Potter' Ending Leaked Online. Spoilers May Reveal Final Chapter For Boy Wizard" and a link that says "Who Lives, Dies?" STUPID AOL. I will not click it even if the rumors are correct. AOL is so evil.
wat sort of true fan would wana spoiler only tru fans like most of us on mugglenet wait for the date am i rite
of course im going to try that email right now ... >.
Yep, AOL´s Very evil...! God, I really need to stay away from any sites that might tell me about the last chapter!! Don´t click on it ´spirit´, I would be quite angry with myself if I clicked on such a link and had the whole last chapter and thus the entire book spoiled and ruined for me!! Guess most people would be feeling the same.
i didn't say the f-word, i gunno why it got starred....
I'm going to boycott a news site I've been a loyal reader/watcher of for years now (and NO I WILL NOT TELL YOU WHAT IT IS). They posted the story about JKR wanting secrecy, and IN IT THEY INCLUDED LINKS TO SPOILERS!!!! I didn't click on them, but I feel that it is a HUGE betrayal of JKR, who has worked so hard on the books and wants to preserve the joy and excitement of finding these things out for ourselves! I, however, refuse to spoil it for anyone... because I appreciate JKR and ALL she has done, not just HP, but her charity efforts as well.
Oh wow. I just read in my local another country newspaper about the leaked illegal Potter DH copies. It´s so wrong that they leaked out! To get spoilers, like with this gabriel guy and then other things is one thing, very bad but still...but WHOLE copies...now that´s again a whole new thing on a higher level of spoilishness. :(
WOOO JKR! i just love her. p.s... cheesecake!
