We're a little under three months away, now, and the first distant rumblings of the weirdness that usually precedes a Harry Potter publication can be heard on the horizon…I want the readers who have, in many instances, grown up with Harry, to embark on the last adventure they will share with him without knowing where they are they going…Some, perhaps, will read this and take the view that all publicity is good publicity, that spoilers are part of hype, and that I am trying to protect sales rather than my readership…However, spoilers won't stop people buying the book, they never have — all it will do is diminish their pleasure in the book.

–J.K. Rowling, urging would-be spoilers to keep quiet regarding the hush-hush details of the upcoming (and final) Harry Potter adventure. [via CNN]
