Happy Belated Birthday to Ouise, jengod and Paul! (I don't think I've ever posted with Paul.)
He has a log in, but has never posted. I don't think he even lurks. But lots of peeps have met him.
Seeing Red, HBP...
So, what? Did
Draco try to rape Harry in the WC?
Happy birthday, juliana!
I have no interest in Harry Potter.
have you read the book yet, David?
No, but I spoiled myself by reading the LJ read-and-posts. I haven't read the last several books anyway, so it was a fun way to ride in the wake of the Event of it.
Seeing Red, HBP...
Don't try to map it too directly. I don't know if it even has an obvious flashpoint like Seeing Red. It's more to do with fannish expectations where people start to make up a story in their head that winds up being very different from what the creators are trying to tell.
I went ahead and spoiled myself, and can see how an indirect mapping works.
To be honest, I, umm, still haven't finished GoF, because I keep falling asleep whenever I try to read it. So I'm still two books behind.
I got spoiled by a spammish posting on an unrelated lj community. Of course, I didn't read the prior book because it was too heavy, so I wasn't overly worked-up, but I can see being PISSED.
Some people seem to be under the impression that you put the spoiler IN the warning.
So they do stuff like "Spoiler!! Joyce
dies!!!"

Yup. I gave up after GoF, but I do like watching the fandom reaction.
Gronk. It cooled down just a bit here, and my mother and I are watching Eddie Izzard. Earlier, I had dinner with a bunch of lovely people at my favorite Japanese restaurant. Yum.
Did we know that Sandra Bullock apparently married Jesse James?
Oh, and in mother news, mine said I have a bunion! I was like, Oh no you didn't! But I guess I do. It doesn't hurt or anything, but still -- weird. Aren't bunions for sketchy old ladies??
Oh, Paul=Plei's DH. I think I even knew that; I was too quick in my skimming.
I'm just startng HP6 now. My problem is that I've forgotten most of what's happened up to this point. But I'm sure I'll manage.
