That's what I'm trying to do. I'm mostly worried about the party the night of.

Reminds of when the last book came out, someone was selling t-shirts online that said

I was just glad I'd already read the book before I saw that, otherwise I would have been quite mad.

I've been wanting someone to tell me...

Don' go to websites that talk about it And ignore anyone talking about it

I agree 100%. The week before a Harry Potter book comes out, I avoid pretty much all Harry Potter related websites because I'm afraid of spoilers.

Horror-ish story: when the 6th book came out, I was at Borders standing in line to pick up my copy of Half Blood Prince, when suddenly this guy bursts through the doors, shouts, "RON DIES!" and then runs away. The whole room went reeeeally quiet. I was so angry. Fortunately, after reading the book, I realized he was just making it up. But if anyone does that again this time, I'm going to hit them over the head with my copy. And then perhaps I'll cry.

That's horrible! Though...kind of funny, in hindsight

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):
which page he dies on for ages.

I was going to ask in this post of this spoiler was safe to read and when I quoted it it revealed the text. LUCKILY, it isn't about Deathly Hallows.

koko_99_2001 · « **Reply #106 on:** July 18, 2007, 05:27:46 AM »

How about this...if any spoilers are about Deathly Hallows, the person posting must type something before the spoiler to warn everyone else.

That will let everyone know not to quote the thread

And I'm sure come Saturday/Sunday, we'll have a lot of spoilers

I usually am the first person to finish a HP book, so I'm used to not talking about it until it's died down.

I mean, I go to the midnight parties and don't sleep until I finish the book.

My mom sometimes tries to ensure that I go to sleep if I'm tired, but she knows it's a hopeless effort.

awesomeasapossum · « **Reply #109 on:** July 18, 2007, 12:45:47 PM »

I'd love to be able to read it until I'm done and not sleep and this year I think I'll try.

koko_99_2001 · « **Reply #110 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:49:20 PM »

I'm not able to do that, seeing as I've already got my Saturday planned. But I do enjoy reading them and taking my time

PirateKingChris · « **Reply #111 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:51:12 PM »

I tend to read it slow...on purpose...so as to enjoy the book over a longer period and not quickly be done and be like "Crap...I'm already done" Therfore I do avoid the internet except for a few sites where Harry Potter comes up. I'll still be coming to the forums here, but probably avoid the Harry topic like the plague till I'm done, once the book is out

. Last time I did manage to find out the ending before it happened cause someone I considered a friend didn't care and just felt randomly it would be funny to IM that "Blah blah on page" thing.

Rosella · « **Reply #112 on:** July 18, 2007, 11:48:01 PM »

I try to read it slowly...but I'm just not built that way.

I agree it's probably a better way of reading it. I usually have to read books a few times for it all to sink in.

awesomeasapossum · « **Reply #113 on:** July 19, 2007, 06:47:23 AM »

Yeah, I just think for this one I want to know everything SO BADLY that I want to read it quickly. Then, I'll probably read it again.

kq fan007 · « **Reply #114 on:** July 19, 2007, 07:13:22 AM »

Ahh its such an internal struggle for me: "Do I read the whole thing without stopping" but then I'll have read all there will be of harry in just one day, or "Do I read it slowly, only a couple of chapters per day"but then I won't get all my questions answered the first time I read it plus I risk the chance of while I'm reading someone just blurting out a spoiler. uhhh what's a fan to do. $:-\$

awesomeasapossum · « **Reply #115 on:** July 19, 2007, 12:33:28 PM »

I don't know if I've ever been so excited about a book! Even the last one!!

PirateKingChris · « **Reply #116 on:** July 19, 2007, 03:08:52 PM »

I think because I've had a couple "blah" days my excitement level hasn't been incredible for the book. But I think tomorrow night it will rise an enormous amount with the book about to come out. I'm not getting mine till Saturday morning, but I'll probably be there at Barnes and Noble not long after it opens to get it bright and early.

tessspoon · « **Reply #117 on:** July 19, 2007, 03:16:16 PM »

I'll be anxiously awaiting for the doorbell to ring all day.

koko_99_2001 · « **Reply #118 on:** July 19, 2007, 03:28:30 PM »

Well, I'm at a hotel, so when I come in from sight-seeing, I'll check at the front desk

racx_00 · « **Reply #119 on:** July 19, 2007, 03:30:00 PM »

I'll wait for someone to tell me the spoilers!
