Warning: Potterspeak Ahead

Okay, I was bad. I went searching Usenet for the Harry Potter "spoilers" the New York Daily News published. Oh, heavens, big deal. One would have thought they gave away the "big one," namely which character Rowling killed off, or some other stupendous thing, like "the truth" Dumbledore says he is going to tell Harry or who Betty chooses, Scott or Victor (oops, wait! wrong cliffhanger!!! <g>). We get a few bits of plot, just enough to tantalize us. The names of a few new characters, including the female Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Some short news about Ron. Something that almost happens to Dudley. One short line about something perfectly predictable about Harry's maturing feelings toward a certain girl.

If you feel that any of the above info spoils the book, just wait: less than 36 hours to go. If it piques your interest, just go to Google Groups and search on +potter +"daily news".

All it did was whet my appetite all the more. 35 hours, 26 minutes; 20 seconds...and counting...
