NP Rank:
Don't ruin Harry Potter, you bunch of wraiths!
You can't keep Potter spoilers down anymore than you can keep Harry, Ron and Hermione in the Gryffindor common room when a mysterious doing is afoot. But good on Rowling and the Leaky Cauldron folks for trying--it just shows how passionate the author and her legions of fans (moi included) are about HP and his friends. Here's raising a glass of butter beer to keeping the lid on that leaky cauldron as long as possible.
"We're a little under three months away, now, and the first distant rumblings of the weirdness that usually precedes a Harry Potter publication can be heard on the horizon," Rowling wrote on her Web site wwww.jkrowling.com on Monday."I want the readers who have, in many instances, grown up with Harry, to embark on the last adventure they will share with him without knowing where they are they going."
Rowling has said two characters will die in the seventh book of the Potter series, which will be released on July 21, but she has refused to give any clues on who they will be.
Speculation has been rife that Potter will be killed off by Rowling, who became the world's first billion-dollar author on the back of Potter's success.

Dear Kaitlin,
Please in the future wait for my reply to use any of my or other photographers work before using. I am having a lot of theft on flickr even though you cannot enlarge them from flickr. This is how i make a living so please wait for a response. I did truely like your story of the swans and the apes and since you were not being paid for the article it was ok. And i believe i eventually got back to you that it was ok i saw you had used it first anyway and have to admitt i got angry. So please in the future wait for my reply.
