petroniaThe tally of uncut HBP spoilers posted by flisters who really should know better currently rests at three. ^^; Guys, I have the book in my purse and will probably be done with it by tonight, so really the onus is on me to flee Livejournal for the day, but just. For future reference and the record:
More instances will be added to the list no doubt. Yeah, I know I said the spoiler grace period in practice was 24 hours and that's over.
HBP Reactions by Chapter
Chapter 1: Tony Blair is the half-blood prince! Oh, wait.
Chapter 2: Have I read this fic? Maybe not, come to think of it. It's rather good.
Chapter 3: Aaaaaand the Polite Diss Award goes to Albus Dumbledore! Please approach the stage to receive your trophy, Professor Dumbledore!
Chapter 4: Horace Slughorn. Rowling deals in types but she does have a step up on 90% of the competition insofar as they tend to be satire-types rather than whitebread fantasy arche-types. That is to say, I like the Dickensian in her.
Chapter 5: Bill and Fleur? Did I miss something? (Not facetious. I forgot Lucius Malfoy was in Azkaban until my sister reminded me.) Also, sixth year warfic, ladies and gentlemen boys and girls of all ages, not fifth year, I just love how everyone was that leetle beet wrong.
It's all about Sirius, isn't it; everyone moving around the fact that Sirius isn't there.
Chapter 6: Draco still git - news at eleven!
Ginny and - oh, I see how this is going to be. Pity, if the fandom had known sooner it could've set up a proper Crack Het Pairing Pool.
...Will post more as I read, I guess.
- "I'm disappointed that there's no [foo]!" is a spoiler.
- "Haven't read the book but haven't been spoilered either, except for the bit about [foo]." is also a spoiler.
- "Insert clever joke about [foo] involving references to other series from which the reader can draw inferences" is a spoiler too.
- Oh, and while I'm on it,

joliefolie, "You said JKR said [foo] in an interview and that's not what she did! You gave me incorrect information!" is technically a spoiler as well, although not a serious one. More to the point, am I my brother'sRowling's keeper?
