Dear members, Some of our members won't be able to read the latest Harry Potter book until the translation comes out, which might take several months. For this reason, all members are asked to use the thread "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to discuss anything that has to do with the plot of that book, in order not to spoil it for others. Thank you for respecting your fellow members

Yes guys, be fair - Jo herself says the following: We are almost there! As launch night looms, let's all, please, ignore the misinformation popping up on the web and in the press on the plot of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'd like to ask everyone who calls themselves a Potter fan to help preserve the secrecy of the plot for all those who are looking forward to reading the book at the same time on publication day. In a very short time you will know EVERYTHING!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, people!

I agree! It would be very unfair...

Are you enjoying it Dom? And did Mart just say something accidently?

Yeah I'm enjoying it. The first one he gave away without thinking. The second one he was saying what someone had spoiled for him, but he tried to say it without giving it away. But the way he worded it kind of gave a major aspect of what it was away. It's hard to explain but when I finish it i will go into it in the spoilers thread At this point I'm not sure whether the two things are major aspects of the ending or not, but still annoying.

Thanks so so much! that's a good idea. I'm still waiting to know when the translation will come out...I can't wait! I've visit the website of italian publisher of HP but they're still saying they will let know the date few days after 21st July...haven't they realized it's already the 23th??

The same of HP6...it isn't so bad, less than 6 months.
I know of spoilers given in the news, a friend of mine sent me an SMS after hearing them, she was in need to tell someone how much she was angry! She use to be a quiet girl. I've been lucky, I haven't heard them because I was in my reading/relaxing week and I haven't watched tv... Don't tell me if those spoilers were right, I don't want to be in risk of ruin HP7 for my friend...mostly because this is the reason why I haven't bought HP7 in english ;D
