Book Six spoilers plus a tea plea.

News Bulletin, Bitches!

JKR has made an announcement regarding Book Six

Is nothing sacred, woman? She better kill somebody that nobody remembers. ::hides Theodore behind her back:: I'm just saying. ::hides Neville in linen closet:: I'm the one who whacks people in this universe, not her! ::hides Dean and Seamus:: She's infringing on my territory! ::hides entire Weasley clan, with the exception of Percy in same room as Crabbe and Goyle::

Oh, d'you think it's Percy? I hope it's not Oliver. Could be Victor. Or Fleur!

Remus has suffered enough, oooooh maybe it's Peter.

My problem with knowing this now, apart from the fact that I didn't want to know any spoilers and the media apparently don't give a fuck, is that now I'm going to be stressed out the entire time I read Book Six, wondering who she'll have whacked.

This sucks, dude.

Would some benevolent soul in the UK be able to pop over to Tescos/Sainsbury's/Waitrose and get me some fruit tea? I have people who normally do this, but one's on holiday and the other, well, he's got memory issues. Nothing with lemon or ginger please. I will reimburse or um, write you something.

There was *never* any hope that she wouldn't whack someone in Book 6, so this "spoiler" actually conveys no new information.

I'm going to have to disagree. I don't necessarily think it was an issue of not having hope as much as not having it as something in the forefront of my conscious. As you pointed out, yes, this is a war and obviously people are going to die because that's what happens during war. At the same time though, at least for me, it's not the first thing I think of when I'm wondering what will occur in Book Six. I'm far more preoccupied with Harry-development and Neville-development and whether or not Tonks is as big a MS as she seems to be, and therefore, this does spoil my enjoyment of the story to a certain degree, hence referring to this news as a 'spoiler'.

I guess for me it *is* the first thing I think of when speculating about Book 6, and has been ever since OotP came out. (e.g. see this poll (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mecurtin/125068.html))
