And naturally my form of revenge was spoiling the fact that Snape killed Dumbledore. And to this day I still don't regret it.

After work the day it was released, my dad bought the 7th book for me, and instead of coming right home and delivering it like I asked him to...he sat in the parking lot of the book store and read the epilogue. Then he called me, asked "Who is Ginny?" and after letting me explain her entire backstory, he laughed heartily, and told me Harry marries her. Then he hung up and came home like normal, where I would lecture him for hours about how rude it was to do that. In retrospect, not a big spoiler really...but does take some suspense out of the big battle scene when both of those characters could die. No matter, it was an incredible read through of one of the greatest books of my generation. I'm not mad, just pleased that even my dad - who talked openly for years about his disinterest in Harry Potter - couldn't resist finding out how it all ended.

She dressed me up in Harry Potter glasses, put a scar on my forehead in eyeliner, and stole my dads blue striped tie for me to wear (already called myself a Ravenclaw, still do #Ravenclaw Pride) and we waited until midnight. We cracked the book open, for the new book smell of course. And my mom promised she wouldn’t read it without me. We then spent 2 weeks reading it together whenever we had time.

I got to touch them as they sat unwrapped on the pallet. (I was one of the ones handing them out) Best believe I took my break right after the last person in line got their book and I bought my own copy and started reading it. I vowed that if any one (customer or co-worker) spoiled it for me, then I would go to federal prison because I would literally kill them.

During Order of the Phoenix, I worked with National Braille Press. Blind kids generally don't get to participate in things like Harry Potter and most books are years old (months at best) before getting translated to Braille. Also, there's usually one reader and one proofreader for a book. The Harry Potter books got a sponsor to try to get the books out to Braille libraries and even individuals at the same time sighted people would have it. To prevent spoilers and make printing easier sections were handled by multiple proofreader teams and no one got successive sections. There were also multiple Braille presses involved across the US. As far as I know, they managed to get the books out in time and no spoilers came out. Since I was just a part time sighted reader, I wasn't allowed to participate, but I was terribly excited to know all this was going on.

Summer of 2005 when Half Blood Prince came out, I worked at a blind and VI summer camp as a counselor. One of the best memories I have is when we camped overnight in a huge teepee and took turns reading it aloud to the kids as they all sat around rapt. The mood in that teepee was electric. You could practically hear John Williams playing in your mind. Harry Potter brings us all together.

They weren’t wrapped in black bags or anything, just stacked in a regular cardboard box like any other books would be. I read the first page of one that day. I swear my hands were shaking the entire time. It was the hardest thing in the world to not just run out of the store with one and read the whole thing.

It is so funny to watch this as a French-speaking person. When I was younger, and not that fluent in English, I had to wait for the translation to come out. Ok, by the time Deathly Hallows came out, I had enough of it and decided to read it in English, even if there were chunks of text that I did not understand. Now that I think about it, HP probably played a huge part in my decision to become a translator, since I became really bilingual by reading it!

Imagine being non-english potterhead and waits months to get this book when huge bunch of readers already read it. Thank god internet wasn't that great back then.

My husband and I went to four different cities in our area looking for it on release day. The copy he had reserved for me had been sold on accident. He finally tracked down a special edition copy that he paid $50 for. But I will always remember the determination he had to get it that day! That alone was magical.

I worked at Borders Bookstore in Monterey, CA when the last book was released. It was torture handing over the books to person after person and not being able to read it for myself because I was on shift for the release. By the time we closed, it was the wee hours of the morning and all I could do was make it to bed with my copy of HP7 and fall asleep. When I woke up, I had to trudge back to the store for my shift. On the way to the store, still not able to have read a page, I saw that someone painted "Harry Dies" on the side of a hill. I don't know why some people are like that. Tiny little Voldemorts of joy.

Guess not knowing English is more useful than I thought. Once the translation came out in stores, I was given a copy by one of my family members. Most if not all of my classmates absolutely HATED reading so they wouldn't even bother with it. I do remember very vaguely reading that Ron would be killed off.

The only reason why DH wasn't spoiled for me back in the days was that I was not allowed on the internet. And neither were my friends. And even if we had been, we probably wouldn't have perused English websites anyway. But, at the day of the release of the translation, before my mom went to the bookstore to pick me up a copy, my mom told me about a friend of hers who worked at a bookstore who opened the last page of DH at midnight. She told me that her friend said that Harry would live. That was the only spoiler I ever received of the HP series. :D

I was watching KZread and saw a spoiler one day. I somehow made myself think it wasn’t true and I literally forgot about it and it still was a surprise when I read the book

when half-blood prince came out i was in year 5 or 6, and people were whispering among themselves spoilers that their faster-reading older siblings had told them. my best friend, bless her heart, heard about dumbledore, and because she knew i didn't want to know what happened, and how devastated i'd be if i found out, she made a big effort to make sure i didn't find out and no one in our year told me. of course, a week or so later, when my mum was reading it to me before bed, we got to that scene and i bloody bawled my eyes out lmao. but still, i'll always be eternally indebted to that friend for allowing me to have that gut-wrenching experience ^u^

I know how it feels to be spoiled. Especially with Harry Potter

The fear of spoilers actually might have saved my university degree ^^ My English was not the best when I left school and due to laziness, I stayed away from any english movies/books that could have changed that. But when the Harry Potter books came out, I knew I would see spoilers if I wait for the translated versions to be released. So I pulled myself together and read one of them in English. The first chapters took me ages but it got better with every page. For the last book I ordered the english version with midnight delivery and read it in 1 or 2 days. Why that saved my degree? Because in my last year of university I was told "oh BTW your thesis should be written in English" :-D

On the topic of spoilers: How come there is no collective outcry towards the 2-3minutes long spoiler reels that are the movie trailers of today? I mean, sometimes I'm sitting in the theater with closed eyes and my fingers in my ears like a crazy person in order to avoid being robbed of seeing an upcoming movie with a blank impression-sheet. Is this really not something we value anymore? Not only do these things contain 2-3% of the total runtime, they also consist entirely of the most action packed or funny scenes, and some outright spoil major plot twists! Could you guys maybe fetch some pitchforks and join me walking from studio-door to studio-door? If not for shorter better trailers, at least for some solidarity? They don't have to be big pitchforks...

I agree. This is one thing I really respect about Disney, for the most part they try and keep their trailers vague and not give away too much of the plot line. I don't think I've watched any Disney trailer and felt like I didn't need to see the movie anymore. Coco is a good example of this. They kept is super vague right up until the movie came out, and even the last trailers only said that Miguel goes to the Land of the Dead and nothing more. Other companies seem to so desperately need to convince everyone to go see their movie that they put all the best bits in the trailer.

Awesome, co-forkers! I agree Disney seem to be able to keep it in their pants, at least sometimes. VII had EXCELLENT trailers, Solo was a little too indulging, I think (based on what I heard with my fingers in my ears going "lalalala"). I too mostly avoid predictions and things to look for, though sometimes I just fall in head first. It makes me feel bad sometimes for skipping material from KZreadrs I subscribe to, especially when it's on stuff I'm a fan of, but it's just too risky, blank minds make for the best movie experiences. The studio wanting to draw attention for products is a fair point, though I do not think it's a real fix for the issue unfortunately. I mean, the typical non-provoking action- and romcom-flicks can't really do much to hurt themselves, they'll pretty much do a safe box-office run and score a IMDB-6 no matter what they do. I hypothesize that trailers at half or a third the length would make no negative impact on the bottom line. And it's always a bummer when the best done CGI-explosion-jumping-out-the-skyscraper-scene is in the trailer and the undisclosed ones are only half as good (Or a recent Dwayne Johnson on top of a crane... Not exactly a movie revelation that one, I predict)

When you were born in 2007 so you didn’t read the books until 2019 and no one cares about spoilers so you never had a clean slate with any if the books * cries in pain*

The Emperor's New Groove clip 😂🤣🤣💀

I feel the same way when it comes to movies getting spoiled especially if it's Disney, Pixar, or Marvel. Great video J!! Keep up the good work!!!

Oh, this is an interesting topic! I may be a voice out of the crowd here, but I actually "like" being spoiled. Sometimes I even look for spoilers myself. When I read a book or watch a movie, I'm much more interested in *how* things happen rather than *what* happens. If I go blind, yes, I may feel surprised or shocked by a certain event, but still, it's a one time feeling and it distracts you from other details that you may miss on your first read/watch. When you get spoiled, instead, you start wondering why that happens, how it happens and so on. I didn't get spoiled Dumbledore's death, but if I was, my mind would have surely started thinking something like "what? Snape kills Dumbledore? How?! Why?! I wanna see it!". I take it as an incentive to experience it myself

This is pretty impressive - I still vividly remember standing in line at the book store (was really close to the front!) and getting the book - OMG the feels. In the era of Netflix, the only way to really avoid spoilers is to binge watch the entire season in one night! I had to do this with Stranger Things because literally the same week there were explainer videos and theories & spoilers eeeeeverywhere!

Deathly Hallows was the first thing I ever bought on the day it was released. Felt quite special. And even Ginny wasn't able to ruin that.

As far as spoiler culture goes, for me when Infinity War came out I avoided/blocked every single thing related to Marvel (including your movie review, sorry guys!) and it was the most agonizing two weeks of my life.

F in the chat for Jk Rowling’s name.

I remember about 4 years ago was when I started getting interested into the series and began reading them. Both of parents have read all of the books and so I was using their collection to read them. Thankfully they understood how bad spoilers would be for me and didn't spoil anything. When I finished book 6 they found me in my room, under my blankets, crying

I dont think I've ever been more heated than the time KZread recommendations spoiled red 2s ending. I was mad and heartbroken at the same time

even though I knew that the death was coming up, JK Rowling's writing was still so good that it made my jaw drop. Her writing also made me cry for a solid hour.

@ChaosCloud96

6 жыл бұрын

before I say what I am about to say I need to state that the HP book series is my all time favourite and I love JK she inspired me to get into writing short stories myself. With that out the way it needs to be said her writing isn't that good! she has a lot of good ideas and she writes characters and their profiles very well but, her story telling and structure make the outcomes of certain events too obvious. She overuses forshadowing which may be the culprit. Now when I am obviously not literary genius otherwise I would be in JK's shoes, but when I dabble with short stories I struggle with the overuse of foreshadowing it is a very hard skill to utilise correctly, too much of it and the audience will have a good idea of the direction you are going in and their will be no shock value, too little and it makes the plot twists seem out of no where and the whole plot will feel unstructured. More to the point of you look at all the "popular" novels that are regarded as greats such as HP, Dan brown's Robert Langdon series, the fifty shades series and many more they actually all share the overuse of foreshadowing giving them very predictable plots, by contrast authors with brilliant use of foreshadowing often have their works over looked and this is because the use of foreshadowing is so good that the plot ends up being too clever for the novels own good and people can't wrap their heads around what they have just read and as such put it down to bad story telling. I just needed to get that off my chest because as much as I do love the author it kind of Irks me to hear she is a great writer. Joannes strength has always come from her ability to paint a really vivid image of her characters for the readers and those characters being very well written.

My older sister dragged my mom and I to see Half Blood Prince in the theater before I started the book (I had just finished Order of The Phoenix) and even then I still was so full of all the intended emotions throughout that entire book.

I care more about story structure than I do about spoilers, so even if something is spoiled for me, I still enjoy seeing how an author constructed a narrative and which techniques were used to get to that point. I'm infamous for flipping to the end of a book before reading it so I can reverse-engineer the story's blueprints as I go. Also...wasn't the entire book leaked on the internet before the book was released? I feel like I remember hearing about it, and for sure reading the epilogue at some point pre-release. I know because I remember the incredulous reaction to the name "Albus Severus" which is what people used to show that it couldn't possibly be real... lol.

When I started reading Harry Potter (I was 9 at the time), all of the books were out already. Almost no one I knew had read it before me, and the ones that did, always asked me how far I was before talking to me. I used the Internet mainly to Play Flash games once a month- so, I got through all of the books spoiler free. Yay.

I could have told you how they did that. As a truck driver, I had the pleasure of hauling this out of the publisher's warehouse a month before its release. Let me tell you a few things you probably didn't know. 1. The warehouse I hauled out of was in Indiana, somewhere outside of Indianapolis. The loads were high security, requiring me to call in to a company every time I stopped the truck and back up to something solid so the doors couldn't be opened without moving the truck. a cable seal was also used to bind the doors latching posts together, further hampering the opening of the door as well as seals on the door's latches. The pallets they were stacked on were wrapped in thick black plastic, preventing anyone from seeing what the product was even on the loading dock. 2. The trailer was taken to a JB Hunt drop yard in Little Rock, Ar, and parked with several other trailers. All these trailers were parked a hundred feet from the guard shack by the main entrance so they could be watched. All we were told at the time was that if the trailer were opened and the pallets tampered with, it was a ten million dollar fine to the company. As a Potterhead, I'm appalled I didn't catch on to all the cues at the time and realize this. As an aside, I can also tell you I too brought the book the day it was released. I then spent the next eight hours reading it, finishing the book that night instead of sleeping. If that sounds fast, I'm a natural speed reader who was really wanting to finish the story.
