(No spoilers were revealed in the writing of this entry. Except the fact that Harry and Dudley go clubbing, but you knew that months ago, right?)
So I went to The Leaky Cauldron. And I clicked on the link that says "do not click on this link," because I'm perverse like that. And then I read it for about two seconds, and went "Eeee!" and hit the back button.
That lasted for maybe an hour. Then I went back and read that page calmly, like a rational person.
Only, you know, I don't feel as if anything's been spoiled, really. So they weren't very effective qua spoilers. Now, when I read about the ending of Star Trek: Nemesis (a mere forty-five minutes before my ex dragged me to it on opening night, too), my evening was spoiled. Although, in all fairness, it was the actual movie that spoiled it for me. You know, like Riker and Troi marrying in spite of having less chemistry than an auditorium full of liberal arts majors. Or Wil Wheaton's cameo getting cut out (come on, it's not like his character could have gotten worse). Or, you know, Data dying for no good reason except that the plot insisted on it? (Oops, so that's a spoiler, but at this point, ya know...)
But yeah. Still unspoiled. Still going to enjoy reading OotP. It's all good.
