This brings up an interesting tangential point, which is the expiration date of spoiler consideration.
I mean, I still worry about revealing the Big Secret of the movies The Crying Game and the one about the boy who Sees Dead People (I'm blanking on the title). And those really should be fair game at this point. On the other hand, I don't worry at all about revealing spoilers from the first six HP books -- I figure that if you care, you've read them by now.
And I have seen people bitch about spoilers from hundred-year-old stories, which is kind of a WTF moment for me. Elizabeth marries Mr. Darcy, Hamlet dies, and Abraham doesn't really kill Isaac -- these are all things I think we can agree that we don't need to spoiler-protect.
I will probably quit worrying about spoilers from HP7 about a month after it comes out. Peg, at least, will have read it (ten times) (at least) by then...
