A note on spoilers

When such an eagerly awaited item as the final Harry Potter book is about to be released, it is pretty bad form to give away the ending without some sort of spoiler warning.

Thanks to some unexpected travel, I won't be able to get to my pre-ordered copy until one week after the book is released, so I'd appreciate it if the entire Inter-tubes could stop trying to give away the ending, OK?

Of course, knowing my luck, every single website, blog and newspaper in my RSS feed will be screeching "HERMIONE EATEN BY GRUE!!11!! OMGWTFBBQ!!!" on Saturday morning...

UPDATE: One of the presenters on Triple-M this morning was reading out sections of one of the leaked versions. Gah!
