Rowling: 'Help preserve the secrecy' of Potter

Just saw this on cnn.com. Thought it seemed like a good idea.
I'm still angry that i saw three different articles yesterday that spoiled the fact that she actually does kill off Harry and Voldemort in the last book.

Bet you a whole bunch he resurfaces in about, oh, say eight to ten years, just about the time Rowling's investment portfolio needs another hit.

well in this movie you realise that he will have to die in the end. but most probably don't pay attention to the fact.

No it doesn't. It says that for one to survive the other must die. In other words, just as in Highlander, "there can be only one."

Heh. It was a joke. I'm trying to keep from knowing how it ends before i read it, too.

You know that's not going to happen, though. Threads like this one are an example. You think you're safe, then WHAMMO! Spoiled.

Don't you remember these t-shirts from the last book release?

So, just finished the book last night. Man! I'd have never thought she would kill off the entire weasley clan. That's harsh.

pretty ruthless, I agree. I thought she could have at least left Ron or his dad.
