To think people shouldn't put HP spoilers in their nickname, then post all over MN.

Yes, I'm talking about you, deadpersonalhouseelf. I haven't even bought the book yet an already I know (partly) what happens.

there is more discussion about HP on here than any other book. It is inevitable that spoilers would be revealed on here. And it was only a namechange, get a grip.

HarryGetsHighAndShagsHermione, i didn't realise this was HarryPotterNet, i thought this was Mumsnet. people on here are usually pretty good about giving spoiler warnings so it seemed fairly safe.

But it wasn't a spoiler. Trust me, I'm a Dragon.

It did sound a bit red faced, and you had a red face in your OP.

I think when you post in AIBU people automatically picture you as ranty, though

LucyJones · 23/07/2007 21:05

IT WAS A MISTAKE remeber UCMs failed name change? Thats what happened! Its not like you know the end of the book, or even if that name is a joke or not,you don't know ALL the storyline just one possibility. there are many many house elves in HP anyway.

cod said last week she was going to post the ending on here on Saturday morning, btw

it was madness coming on here the last few days unless you didn't mind finding out what had happened

HarryGetsHighAndShagsHermione · 23/07/2007 21:08

given the amount of time the op has dedicated to posting on this and other threads, she could have read the book by now.

SoupDragon · 23/07/2007 21:08

I avoided MN. Just dipped in occasionally to see if there was anything interesting ("threads I'm on" down to 12 so the answer was no )

I can honestly say that that particular name change really wouldn't have spoilt the book at all for me.

expatinscotland · 23/07/2007 21:08

I did post the ending on here on Sat. morning.

In a thread marked 'spoiler'.

paulaplumpbottom · 23/07/2007 21:08

LOL at spoiler nicknames, I hadn't even noticed them
