Yeah, I'd really be happier if we didn't open a spoily thread before release date. I dunno. I think this is pretty much the biggest you could be spoiled and a lot of people are really invested in this series.
Even if you mark it on the slug or description, etc., people reading via read new won't see it necessary.
Oh, I thought you meant discussion had started here.
I'm of the mind that we open the thread when the book goes on sale on the East Coast. If you have a burning need to discuss it before then, Nutty and SA can show you where. Let's not startle any readers not in this thread.
Midnight, the 21st East Coast time?
That sounds good to me.
When I expressed my contentment with discussing HP7 in the Book Club thread, I didn't think that meant we were going to open it up for spoilers early. The rest of the internet is making me curmudgeonly about spoilers.
What ita said. Given that we're bypassing our voting procedures on this one, I think it's important that we tread carefully and have a true consensus. Opening Bookclub Friday night at midnight EDT, would seem to be a good compromise on which we can all agree.

Sounds like a good plan.
Why worry about spoiler talk if we don't open a thread that allows spoilers before the book is available? I'd like to talk about what I've heard now.
FTR, I was consensing about opening the thread when the book was actually out. But mainly I'm posting content so that I can add,
OTOH, there's a good chance this conversation will last past midnight Friday at which it will be a moot point anyway, right?

Exactly why we need to obsess over opening, unless I don't get your meaning.

Why don't you announce in Literary that you'll be talking about HP spoilers in Spoilers?
