JK Rowling: Don’t Ruin The Bit Where Harry Potter Dies

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – the final Potter book – is less than three months away, and already JK Rowling is getting anxious over the idea of someone reading the book’s last page, seeing that Harry Potter dies and blabbing it to everyone.

And that’s why JK Rowling has launched a preemptive Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows spoiler-disarming offensive, saying that the last thing she wants is for someone to go around yammering about Harry Potter’s ultimate fate on the internet and spoiling it for everybody else. However, JK Rowling also made it perfectly clear that she didn’t include you in that, and that you are still perfectly within your rights to line up for hours outside a bookshop on the evening of the Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows release just for the momentary thrill of being able to run to the bookshelves at midnight, open a copy of the book at the last page and shout “Oh no! Harry Potter dies!” loud enough for all the children to start crying. JK Rowling said that you could do that, but only you.
