On the announcement of the publication date of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", memories of the last book fiasco came to mind. Although the book was under high security, it was no surprise that someone got ahold of it, and found it necessary to post photos of the page that contained the "death" (and HP fans know what I am talking about) on the Lj community "found objects">, without any notification. Therefore it shouldn't be shocking that peeps were blind sided, and quite pissed off, because of this. It spoiled the book, in a big way. HUGE. LARGE. GIGANTIC.
Here is the kicker in the rubber parts. The photo, and for the matter, the page of the book, HAD nothing to do with the community at all. Someone did it, to get a rise out of people. To be a fuckwad. The point is, shit like this pops up in the wierdest of places: Livejournal, fwd emails, flickr, your grandmothers vintage purse, my ass!
SO about this Harry pot-head, deathly hallows non-sense.
Sooner than we think, there will be incidences of leaked books, gossip started, and a stew of other crap floating around ye ole internet. Lovely. Since this is the LAST book in a series that has broken TONS of publication records, any COPY of it, will be under HUGE lock and key. I won't be surprised if I have to give my kidney to get a lotto number, so I can get on a list, to have my passport scanned, to wait in line at the bookstore in Kings Cross for a copy.
Do me a favor? k? There is already too much internet drama already, and too many queens anxiously awaiting to stir the pot. Don't fuel the fire. And don't share any information regarding the book that isn't publicly announced on J.K. Rowlings site.
I realise the potter-heads, are a bread onto his or her own. So are the treky fans, reality TV addicts, and the ONTD crowd. Do us all a favor: unless our owls are shitting over your prada shoes, or you have naked photos of Daniel Radcliff that you are willing to share/sell, baughter for, let us have our little fun in our part of the muggle world. We won't ride your Star Trek Enterprise, if you don't ride our broomstick.
K? K!
