With Apologies to JK Rowling
Posted by Harvey at 02:34 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (17)

With the imminent release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, author J.K. Rowling has requested that people refrain from leaking any spoilers.

Sorry, lady, but I need the site traffic.

TOP TEN SPOILERS FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS


10) Harry learns "visio correcto" spell and ditches those stupid Birth Control glasses.

9) Hogwarts Alumnus Day guest of honor - Gandalf!

8) Harry is shamed with a lifetime ban for betting on quidditch.

7) Snape and Hagrid - oh yes they are!

6) Final battle against Voldemort cancelled when Democrats vote to pull funding.

5) It's all a dream. Harry wakes up in his mother's basement to discover that he's just a 35-year-old nerd who nodded off during a game of D&D.

4) Malfoy and the Sorting Hat - oh yes they did!

3) Dumbledore only MOSTLY dead - revived by Miracle Max.

2) Voldemort is the name of Harry's sled.

and the #1 spoiler for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...

1) Hermione is a DUDE!

Rating: 4.2/5 (3 votes cast)

You forgot the biggest spoiler. Fred Thompson saves the school from utter ruination.

These "spoilers" bear very little relation to the actual Harry Potter book series. One of the characters mentioned is from another set works by a completely different author. A political party is mentioned which is not even British, but American.

I am beginning to wonder if this was a serious literary critique, or merely a shameful ploy to attract advertising page views and clicks.

Mr Socrates, if you're questioning my integrity, I shall have to ask you to step outside!

#3 - Posted by: Harvey on May 17, 2007 05:06 PM

this is going to be the best Harry Potter EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

#4 - Posted by: snarky on May 17, 2007 05:27 PM

Snape and Hagrid???? EEEEEEEWWWWWWW! Harvey, you should be taken outside and SHOT.

#5 - Posted by: Wacky Hermit on May 17, 2007 05:53 PM

I'm still wondering how the author is going to continue the constant slope of the series' "Stick it to the man" curve. They've already scoffed and trampled the silliness of school rules, laws and authority in general. The only thing left is to have harry create a doomsday spell and blow up the universe. That oughtta show that stuffy old creator and his outmoded existence-ist dogma. Life is for squares.

#6 - Posted by: Thursday on May 17, 2007 06:23 PM

I hate (HATE) to have to be a tad nerdy here, but it's Voldemort. With an 'o.'

And I totally second Wacky Hermit's suggestion. I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

Harvey (if that's your real name), I would never stoop so low as to question your integrity, at least, not out loud.

Clearly, however, this article is intended only for its humor value, and not to instruct your many readers in the subtleties of these great works of literature. It seems to fit the pattern of this site, which is showing early signs of excessive satiricism.

One even sees 'LOL' and 'LMAO@IMAO' in the commentary, hardly the sort of discussion one would like to see. So while I don't question your integrity, really, this site-wide drift into comedic expression may indicate some kind of intentional direction by the site's leadership.

Perhaps it's a reaction to the self-righteous arrogance of this 'Aquaman' fellow?

#8 - Posted by: Socrates on May 17, 2007 07:45 PM

what happens to Frodo this time?

1) Hermione is a DUDE!

Wha...huh?


I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

That wasn't a double post...it was a 3D post. Just put on the glasses and turn your head sideways to look at it. It'll look like its jumping off the screen!

#12 - Posted by: FormerHostage on May 17, 2007 09:47 PM

"Voldemort with an "o"."

Yeah, but there's a NEW character, except he spells it with an "a" because...

Ah, crap...

You caught me being sloppy.

...

fixed.
