[fox]

please don't talk to me about the fifth harry potter book in any kind of detail until i've read it. i don't want to know who appears, who does not appear, who may or may not be injured or killed, who falls in love with whom, what oh-so-clever insults ron comes up with to fling at draco malfoy -- none of it. anything beyond "i hear it's going to be really good" is too much for me. i wish to be as unspoilt as possible. if you're a spoiler-chomper, and you intend to discuss the thing without cuts on your lj in the interim (which is, of course, your prerogative -- or without such rigorous cuts, like ones that say "all discussion of hp5 is behind here"), please let me know so i can close my eyes until then. :-)
