|  Will you be SPOILED for Book 6?
Will you read spoilers, reviews and synopsises before you read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?

I figure I've waited this long I might as well take the book cover off while I read. I'm probably not even going to look at the other chapter names 'cause the ones toward the end start to give away things.

Personally, I like to read it all fresh (without knowing anything) but I do like seeing images (book covers, etc.) as soon as they come out.
I like to avoid reading ahead (chapter names, chapter pics, etc.) because it sometimes spoils stuff too, but usually it just makes you wonder what could be happening.

I like seeing images as well. I like to go in not knowing any specific events, but I don't mind speculating, because I don't know for sure.

I would hate to accidentally stumble upon a major spoiler like who dies or who the HBP is. When the fifth book came out I didn't mind reading reviews as long as they didn't give away anything drastic. But this time I think I'd be terrified to touch a review cos I don't want to know anything that Jo hasn't told us yet until after I've read the book. In fact after the 16th I will boycott the HP fansites until the book comes here to Kenya and I can read it.

When do you get it in Kenya? That has got to suck...
I absolutely hate knowing spoilers before the release. Like the 14 canadians who received the book early (and illegally!). One of the members on here before told me she was on the canadian sites and now she knows who dies. I'm not going anywhere near that kind of thing. I'd prefer to read it for myself. If you know any of the plot spoilers before you read it, it ruins the whole thing. The excitement and suspense is just gone.
I love seeing the book covers and things like that though, as long as they don't give anything away!
Only 1 day...

I figure I've waited long enough. Hearing a spoilers a few days before won't kill me. In fact, it'd probably heighten my anticipation. I've read some although I doubt their authenticity.

Nope, I had it spoiled last time and it wasn't very good, this time I'm trying very hard to stay away from anything HBP-related.

I stay away from the major spoliers that ruin the plot. The blurb and even the chapter titles that were released are more like teasers then anything to me. They don't give to much away, yet they heighten my anticipation as Emma said.

I cant control myself. I really need to use force to stop myself from rading or looking at anything. Like with the Back cover of HBP...I just had to look at it. But i think that if your read something it wont really change the way ill read the book. They only way of konwing whats gonne happen is to read it. And thats what millions will be doing from Saturday!

Me too! It's so hard not to read stuff like that. I've already read the back of the UK edition!!

I don't mind stuff like the blurb or the stuff JK released because those are just little teasers, they don't give anything away at all, and they really make me even more excited. As long as it doesn't give any plot or things like who dies or, god forbid who the HBP is, I don't mind that much. That happened with me with OotP and I was really upset. I love pictures though - they make you speculate!

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Yes! Yeas! Yes and Yeas again! I won't get the book so that's the only possibility to know something. Not fair though, that the closest places where I could get the book - now I have everything I need - is the neighbouring Ukraine or Romania. So, nothing to do - only spoilers It doesn't bother me at all that I will know the events without reading the book ).
