Damn Chammie and her spoilers, Sheila and I found out chapters and chapters ahead of us about Snape being the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore getting killed by Snape and the Death Eaters, Harry and Ginny finally becoming a couple, and all the other suspenseful insights and discoveries that should have been reserved till the very end. @#$%^&&^*$@#$%^*++$*&.
This Potter book is so...for lack of a more apt term, tragic. I was practically semi-weeping with Hagrid and Minerva and the rest of the Order when Dumbledore died. And I could not imagine KIDS reading this book! My God! All the blood and gore and violence! Not that I'm being too conservative or a bore...but growing up, I was (or perhaps WE were) made to read "fairy tales" where tragedy was, well, subdued. Way more subdued and less gory.
And what's up with the obviously incomplete journey/mission of Harry Potter?? God, this last chapter is so screaming "to be continued"... No wonder JK Rowling's one of the new billionaires: she knows well how to dangle the steak in front of famished wolves.
But I will still perform a curse-hex at Chammie for spoiling it all for us. That @#$%^&&^*$@#$%^*++$*&.
Ahem.
With that out of the way, lemme go back to my blogging.
I can't help but remember our prank with our friend Ritchie when he watched The Sixth Sense with his date Lou. Knowing full well that he was way in the near end of the movie, all of us (his friends, that is) barraged him with one liners such as, "Bruce Willis is a ghost" or "Bruce Willis isn't alive anymore" or "Bruce actually died in the beginning of the movie, you idiot". You can imagine the consternation on his face when he realized that, at the end of the movie, we were--pun intended--dead serious about the spoilers. Nyehehehe.
Or the fake spoiler I SMS'd Ella when she was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I said, "Oh, Charlie dies in the end". Nyehehehe.
So I guess I deserved the Potter spoiler after all. ;)
